    I have autism spectrum disorder...I was wondering if anyone here is autistic.
    I want to have more autistic friends. Eventually and autistic girlfriend.
    Autistic people are so much easier to talk to than neurotypicals.

    Well, there are a few people here that are on the spectrum. It isn't a bad thing though, to have friends who are neurotypical.

    I have ASD, but am on the high functioning end of that. And while this might not count for much, I have studied autism/aspergers intensively on my own over the past 2-3 years. You can feel free to talk to me, if you like.

    My son is diagnosed autistic. I also know some autistic people. I find them no more or less difficult to communicate with.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    I have Aspergers but didn't know until later in life. I am not LGBT but I was bullied for being different and not fitting the mold of what a Bible Belt male should be (Loud, aggressive, anti-intellectual, and sexist) so I feel like I share the outsider status some LGBT people have.

    That I will be! :slight_smile: The thing I find odd about the culture I live in is that so many straight guys don't seem to actually like women outside of the bed but get angry at the notion that they might be gay. :confused:

    It's because men are weird. I'm a man. Well I'm a kid I'm only 15. But I'm still weird.
