    Lost a Lot of Friends

    Sorry to hear that SUM1, and I've been there. In the past, I've lost people who were "friends" due to my diagnosis. Some turn on me and others just simply slowly fade communications with me. Even without directly disclosing my diagnosis, which I hardly did to anyone in my college years, people...

    Losing friends over time?

    Thank you all for sharing your experiences on here. It appears that this issue is indeed that mostly occurs with us Aspies and it can be considered as a phenomenon.

    Autism/AS - NT love, is it possible?

    Thanks, Peace. Yeah it can be hard to trust others, especially when my experiences in pursuing the opposite sex don't always turn out to what I expect, but I try to keep an open mind about finding a good partner some day. I would prefer to meet a girl who can have a similar diagnosis as me, but...

    Losing friends over time?

    Lately I've realized that the friends that I was once close with no longer seem to have an interest towards me. It can be depressing too because the people I was close with at one point of my life end up slowly fading me away, and I never intend to do or say anything to offend people. I haven't...

    Sometimes its hard to act normal

    Throughout all my life, I've been taught to "act normal". I believe that I can "act normal" to a certain degree, but there can be times that even I slip without even intending to because that's just my nature I guess. Over time, I feel that NT people eventually catch on that I can be weird or...

    Frustrated

    That is a very good initiative that you tried to do, Peace. I've been thinking of starting some sort of group myself in my community because I too, feel lonely and don't have many close friends that I can hang out with and be myself with, and I'm glad that someone reached out to you. Just...

    Autism/AS - NT love, is it possible?

    Hi everyone. I'd like to share my experiences as a male with Autism with the opposite sex. Throughout my life, I've never been good with attracting the females that I want. At times, I find myself chasing after the wrong types of women without even knowing it until I think deeply about my...

    Help for Dating Someone with High Functioning Autism

    He must be lucky to have you, and you are a very kind-hearted person for wanting to pursue something deeper with him. I would advise for you to just continue going out with him and do some activities that both of you may enjoy. Treat him just like you would treat any other human being, as that...
