It would be honest but confused.

- Do you belong to a particular religion? If so, which one?
- No
- What food do you absolutely HATE?
- Mushy peas, vinegar, chewing gum
- If tomorrow was yesterday, would you do it the same?
- The question would be would I learn from any "mistakes" I made? That That means I have to admit to making errors. So would I correct these mistakes and "beat up" myself for making them in the first place, or worse make the same stupid mistakes again.
On reflection I think if yesterday came again I would decide to just stay in bed on my own and ride the storm out.
- What's the best date you've ever been on?
- I've never had a date. :(
- Describe your ideal person:
- Someone who understands me and someone I don't have to explain myself to, and is non-judgemental.
If you want other traits - kind, logical, not overimposing, allows me to be myself and do what I want, when I want - accepts me for what I am.
- You're hanging out with friends and having a good time. What are you doing?
- The only thing I really do with "friends" is play indoor cricket

- That's a hard one!!!!
- 5 things you're not so good at:
- Communicating verbally, NT Socialising, talking about myself, working whist being watched, reading Chinese (sorry the last one was a joke)
- What is your theme song?
- Beautiful South - "Good as Gold (Stupid as Mud)"
- When the revolution comes, what will you be doing?
- Hiding
Life is an explanation
Of words I cannot find
A mass of confusion
Of misunderstanding
A mixture of chaos and time

Birthdays
Birthdays to me are just hassle - having to do things I don't really want to do. This evening I am expected to go to my sisters house for something to eat, but there is nothing else to do there. It will b… Continue

From Despair to Hope (in 8 easy miles)
Depression was getting the better of me. It came on suddenly on Saturday night, and I battled through Sunday. However, this morning it was horrendous. For the first time ever in my life I felt like I did not want to go on. Suicidal thoughts were frequent, although I was not as bad as wanting to kill myself (it would have hurt too much!). I hid under my duvet before calling work to tell them I was not going in today. I actually ended up crying on the phone before I hung up. 20 minutes later I

A Crazy, Crazy Day
Some days I have doubts as to my true position on the spectrum, other days there is simply no question. Today has fallen into the second catagory.
Not withstanding the fact I was in work for 4am, and the first hour I was alone in getting the restaurant set up and ready to open at 5 (and one of the other 2 due in at 5am was 12 minutes late) the day soon turned into a catastrophe. The good thing about working in an airport, especially one the size of East Midlands Ai

What have I done???
I woke up this morning full of anxiety. Not too much different with that. This time it was different. It was not anxiety about the upcoming day, but about something I had committed myself to.
At work we achieved a decent score on our last big audit (90%) and our general manager has said we could arrange an evening out to "celebrate". Unfortunately this means going out with people in a social setting, which I try to avoid at all costs. The original plan was to possibly go bowling an

Discovering Aspergers
In my previous post I never mentioned how AS fitted in with me and how I came to discover it. I hope to cover that here.
My childhood was a mess. I was different. In London I had a very small group of friends (about 3) but I knew no different. It was one of them who got me interested in soccer aged about 6 when he moved into a house opposite my family's home. I knew I was different - best described as eccentric at that stage, and very clever. I was always studying, reading or learning

Star said… - Ha! you have been on AspieSocial all this time since the beginning of this year and I didn't even make the connection when I met you in the UK! this is kind of funny because we somehow "knew" each other from this forum evn before we got to know each other!
What have you been up to? I never heard from you after that one message, so I hope all is well with you. Write back if you are up to. Take care.
