AndrewJ Report post Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Hi all, Found this place after a search on Google, I'm Andrew 24 from the Manchester area. I was diagnosed in 1992 with AS. And have spent most of my years learning social skills from my friends. I think I am quite unusual in that I live with no routine as such to the AS type, and I enjoy going out to bars and relaxing with friends. I am currently planning on moving to Scotland and plan to take up the violin in Irish style in a local music school to Dumfries. Anyways nice to meet you all and I hope to be able to help out with the technical sections Edited July 12, 2008 by Kathryn To remove name of professional Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billabong Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Hi Andrew from another very recent newbie (a few hours before you) Welcome! I'm married to an AS man so it's interesting to hear about your experience of being AS. I'm glad that you enjoy being a sociable bunny!

chill2computer Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Hi Andrew Nice to have you aboard. I have AS and a son with AS I don?t socialize very much because I always get into trouble some how. LOL My husband finds it difficult sometimes because he does not want to go out alone and feels like a single person. I find this strange as most men would relish going out with out there wives. If you have any social tips I would be glad to hear them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My hubby too has AS traits and he too loves meeting people although he has said that he would rather be in a large group rather then just go out with one person! Anyway! welcome to the forum xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have any social tips I would be glad to hear them. I learned a few things which helped me. 1) I tend to stick to bars which draw the nicer crowd, not those in my local area which draws planks. 2) I watched people for a long while, god people must've thought I was a mute but i watched how people interacted and have slowly built up how to handle most social situations, if not I think I am getting good at coping.
