hi im david i have aspergers syndrome, i find it hard to socialise and find myself alienated and alone...

i was first diagnosed at 13 and am now 38... i still find it hard to communicate even after living with aspergers for all this time... i stammer when i talk and very rarely give eye contact which often makes people believe im not listening or interested in what there saying...

anyone else out there having the same issues or is it just me.... :(

  • hi sylv... in reply to your questions... im 38 years old will be 39 in april this year!! :(

    i curently do not have a job! wish i did... but have had jobs in the past although they are extremely hard for me to hold down as i get confused and often trail off to do something else other than what im meant to be doing! i get easily distracted and because of the lack of facial expressions and talkativty and the "no eye contact thingy" i get dismissed as not being interested or bothered by what is going on around me! i have one field of interest and that is computers! i can rebuild them upgrade them repair them, i never have to read instructions i simply "know" how things work!! :( pity i dont have the same knowledge about people! :( 

    how are things with you and how do you stay in employment??? 

    thank you... david :)
