    Online Dating

    What's POF? I'm really depressed. It seems like no matter how hard I try nothing ever gets better. I tried for 6 months and didn't even talk to anyone. I sent out message and tried to connect with people from meetups. Nothing worked. I can't move because I'm taking care of my mom who has...

    Online Dating

    I'm in a small town that has twice the amount of men as women so it's really hard to meet women. I tried match.com and never in 6 months got a reply from someone in my city (only other cities). It sucks here. Then I didn't qualify for their match guarantee offer that should have given me 6...

    The Social aspie

    I like to socialize in intellectual settings but sadly there are few with people my age. In most cases I end up feeling even more isolated when I try to socialize.

    How do you meet people?

    I'm in this situation too; small town without much to do besides drink. There was a meaningful conversations meetup but it ended. The problem is no groups meet enough for me to make friends. Although I'm trying a new nerds meetup that started recently. I'm really depressed that no one has...

    How do you meet people?

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm not good with people; I'll go to things but nobody wants to be my friend or has ever dated me. I've told people in meetups they can contact me through the site but no one has. In general I don't like people. No one gives me a chance.

    How do you meet people?

    I've been trying to make friends through meetups but I'm in a small town and very few meet with any consistency. The only thing to do here is go to bars but I'm alcoholic and never enjoy that; or really want to meet social drinkers. I tried a dating site but didn't get a single response. It's...

    Do you use tobacco products?

    No, thank goodness. I never got into smoking, drinking or drugs. It makes it harder to socialize. Many groups seem to revolve around one or more of the three.

    Sugar cravings and autism

    Like WereBear said, sugar's a drug. I have a lot of stress and depression in my life and crave sugar, mainly chocolate then. I don't smoke or drink so sugar is my go-to drug of choice. It's really hard to lose weight when I keep getting depressed, although I do balance it with exercise.

    Can you multitask?

    I take care of my mom who has fibromyalgia. She gets symptoms called fibro fog that impair her cognitive abilities. So I multitask frequently by keeping track of her agenda items as well as mine. We play board games and I'll keep track of who's turn it is, what 'phase' we're on in more...

    Losing a pet

    Sorry your rabbit died. I used to get hamsters as pets but stopped because I couldn't handle them dying in a year and a half. Now I live with my cat.

    Would you take a magic pill to permanently transform into an NT?

    No but I take several pills for depression, anxiety and PTSD already. I wish those worked better.

    SSI

    I agree appeal the case as it's standard for them to initially turn them down. Be sure to go to current Drs and have them document everything. Ask them for notes.

    Autism and Competiveness

    I was never interested in most sports but did enjoy racket sports in high school. I play smash bros competitively at the local collage weekly.

    I tap my feet when sitting.

    No Community for Atheists

    My mom worked for a United Universalist church. They had a good message about acceptance but the church was riddled with dysfunction and internal politics. Thanks for replying everyone.
