Hello fellow aspies! My name is Mike and I have been officially diagnosed as Asp. for four years now but my family tells me I had symptoms as early as my childhood and teen years. Two years ago I was dumped by a woman named Elizabeth. There was a 20 year age difference between us but I don't think that's why the relationship failed.

I struggle daily with trying to connect to people; I am definitely not a people person. I go to a mental health support group twice a month but lately I been so depressed and so longing for a human connection. So I guess I am looking for connection here. By trade I am a writer so I get to make up stories all day. Currently I am working on short stories and screenplays.

Whoever reads this please send me a message. Thanks.

Welcome to AC Mike :) You're in a good place, people here are very friendly and accepting and supportive. The more you interact, the more you'll get out of being here. Lots of information available too.
 
I'm pretty new to this site but it seems to be a good place to find what you need.

There are so many of us here and everywhere, who fail to connect. It took me most of my life to even realize it myself or that others didn't find it as hard. It only solidified for me in a dream where I came face to face with a person from my past and again, just like so many times in real life, I could not even get their attention. In that dream a young boy witnessed what happened and seemed apologetic but I shrugged and said "I just have a failure to connect". It took me 40 years to come to that conclusion.
Yet there are always a few people in life as quirky as ourselves, who stick around long enough and somehow make that needed connection. It takes a lot of sifting. I hope that's not too much of a ramble, good luck from a fellow writer!
 
Thanks guys. People here are really friendly. Sorry it took so long to get back I don't use this site very much but thank you for your comments.
 
Haven't been on much for awhile Mike but thanks for the follow. One of the members here, Gritches, has written some really good stuff- check his blogs and maybe he'll be someone you could connect with on a writing level, IDK. He's a really nice guy. I hope you are able to feel connected here- I'm an NT but I feel more connected here than I do in irl XD.
