This is not my last post. I intend to keep visiting AFF on a regular basis, especially when I feel stumped by an Aspie related question.
Since signing up here a few months ago I guess I've reached a greater acceptance of why I am the way I am. In fact I really couldn't give shit about my stimming anymore. As for any thought of a cure, seriously, what could I be cured of: Stimming, obsession, bad hand writing, my in ability to feel totally at home in the world? I don't know.
I still feel weird on this site though. Sometimes I kind of feel like I'm screaming into an empty room and no one is hearing me, sometimes I feel like I'm not getting "it" whatever it is and sometimes I feel like I'm somehow offending people but I'm not really sure why.
Anyway, I still wonder about why I'm here and what I'm supposed to be doing and what I'm not supposed to be doing.
This is not my last post.
PS
That avatar I had was a picture of Hans Asperger in case you were wondering.
Thank you! I was wondering who he was...
It took me months before I felt I knew enough about the workings of this site to feel comfortable about posting whatever I felt like; although I felt from the beginning that here was a group of people to whom I could relate better than any other - except perhaps other GoldWing owners!
The group has changed somewhat since then, more young women and fewer men over thirty.
I do feel that the atmosphere seems somewhat hostile to the latter group, although I'm at a loss as to why.
Oh yes, keep posting please.
It's so good to have you here.
Please keep posting! I really enjoy your posts - they're always relevant and raise a thought or a smile!
Sometimes both!

That pretty much sums it up.I have the same thoughts going through my head too.

Oh - I do enjoy your posts - and I did know the man was Hans Asperger - please do keep posting - - the post above was good!!!
cyber hugs.
Chosen one - I enjoy your posts as well - I really do absorb both of your posts - and I love to see that you are posting on this forum. Sometimes I just need a 'wakeup' call.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
I was feeling a little unsure about how I was being perceived around here, so I guess I was just looking for a bit of feedback.
I think it's the nature of forums like this that subsets of people relate well to each other and others are like the proverbial ships passing in the night.
Like, I have more in common with the female aspies over 40 set than with the angsty 17-year old guys wondering if they'll ever find a girlfriend. What makes a place like this cool, though, is the possibility of us all learning from each other.

Yeah. I guess I'm feeling like I've passed a lot of ships and I'm yet to find my "subset". Although I don't tend to base who I connect with on superficial things sex, age, race etc. It 's more an individual thing, which might be why I don't fit into 'subsets'. Anywho, AFF isn't the only place I've experienced these sort of feelings, so I don't have any ill will towards anyone here. I know it's about me.
Stick around for a while. You never know what connections might turn up.
