I'm still alive

You're quite new here. I have a question for you: What kinds of things (benefits, satisfaction, etc) would you like to get from this forum specifically?

Here's an example of what I'm asking you about. I have no idea if you want this, it's just a random example that may not align with your desires at all; it's just an example nonetheless:

"I'd like to be assured that if I create any new threads on any topic that at least 20 people would respond within 30 minutes and at least 50 people respond to the thread overall."

Or

"I'd like to make friends, at least five, and I'd like them to Private Message me on a daily, weekly, etc basis."

Neither, cause none of those things happen anyway.
 
Lots with autism are more introverted, I am like that, but some like to chat too. Depends who is around I guess.
 
I mean this in a friendly way. You've only been a member here for less than a week. Private messaging is like talking to someone on the phone. People don't automatically do that. They do those kinds of things after they get to know someone a bit better.

I'm betting if you stick around with realistic expectations (ie low expectations) and you regularly participate and contribute to the overall mutual support this site is created to help give to people, you'll find enrichment. If you have high/unrealistic expectations and then complain about them not being met by others, you will be disappointed.

Maybe I would tell people about myself if they actually asked
