I'm still very new to online communication and I don't understand online sarcasm or jokes. Aspies central is the first forum community that I have been involved in. This is my outlet since I don't have any family or friends, except for my daughter who is grown and out doing her own life. I used to be friendly with my next door neighbor, but since July 4th when we had a disagreement concerning popping firecrackers on the porch, we've stopped talking. I am unfamiliar with proper forum etiquette so please excuse me for my ignorance of computer terminology and lack of knowledge of computer skills. I am still not good at starting interesting thread topics. In all honesty, I mostly read other people's inputs and I give a lot of likes, agrees, and friendly ratings. I've lived a life "in a shell" so to speak as I didn't own my own computer until 3 years ago. I don't really care about thread topics. It just feels good to finally have discovered a community as this to vent about problems and such. I have always just suffered in silence. I come here to talk to people who share in same or similar difficulties as I do and it also feels good to finally have people pay attention to me. I've never had that before.
 
AC is a nice place for all with an Autsim Spectrum Condition. You don't have to talk unless you want to.
Just know that there are many people on here who understand how you feel and would be willing to support you if you wanted.

Welcome to the forums and be happy :)

Thank you. I'm just trying to make a friend or two.
 
You are good at starting thread topics, and so what if you don't know the etiquette of forums. People here often reply to the same threads over and over, and you've brought in your own perspective. Which is interesting and different as well as not impersonal and distant. Glad you're here Catlover.

You've made my day Mia
 
Aspiecenteral is the first and only forum I've ever used. My NT sister told me that I should check out this forum to see what's like, it almost a year ago and 625 messages later I'm grateful I did. It's really eye opening and at the same time comforting to know that I'm not really alone in the world because there are others out there like me even know it doesn't always seem like it. if that makes sense.

I'm kind of glad you found the home of us misfit toys and could join us :)

It's cool to see what effects others that is the same as or different than you and to make a few friends along the way too :cool:

It is amazing to see so much diversity all stacked in one single place and now you too are a part of it all :)
 
Welcome. From another wanna be shut in who is nonetheless forced to work and deal with people all day. This place is great, friendly and safe.
