I have AS and never knew it until my T told me about it. The hardest thing for me is the social part. I have never had a date, girlfriend, kiss and I need to be touched (hugged/kissed) and loved. But I can't talk to people and many bother me very much. It is impossible for me to meet anyone, and it makes me VERY sad, lonely, depressed, worthless, ect... What do i do?

How old are you and how long have you been living with AS symptoms before DX?
I do not officially have AS but my T and I have discussed it. There is autism in my family(very severe cases) so maybe....... I wonder the scope or the severity of your AS and wonder if there are other factors at play. The only thing I can say for any certainty is that if you crave companionship and intimicy, you kind of have to work at loving your TRUE self and not really giving a damn what other people think.........very hard but once small victories happen, it gets easier and easier. It took me all my life up untill the last 4 years to realise this........I am not an affectionate person and don't like to be touched much but that does not mean that I do not need to be loved........I just wouldn't settle for someone who did not love me......for me. And I have found that. Once you start to love yourself and never make excuses for who you are........others will follow.... Have faith........we are with you

(((((( ariesmars ))))))
I truly feel for you. There are social training sessions available for people with AS, from what I have been reading on the internet. I'm considering finding a place where I can go to get some help. Even though I've adapted a lot on my own, social outings continue to be a struggle for me and leave me exhausted much of the time. I found this website: http://www.grasp.org/ It's the Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership. Seems to have a lot of great information. I'm sure you could find a support group or social training classes, if you choose to go that route. Good luck and remember - you're not alone!
