    For the last time no, it's not normal. I have aspergers too, and the only thing it's stopped me from doing was making friends with a few "popular" kids during my school days, who grew up to be shitheads anyway.

    You already posted this. Yes, it's normal for some people.

    You asked this last week and already got your answers.
    I am diagnosed with aspergers too and while it seems to cause me trouble with dating in some ways, it also helps me eliminate people who judge my eccentricities.
    What is even more unattractive than being socially weird is going on about self pity, which most people will find to be annoying. Your ruminating negativity will chase most people away.
    Plenty of people with aspergers find relationships, and personally I think romance is an over rated neediness that most people obsess over but never find and settle for someone who they dont really get along with. Enjoy being single instead of being so desperate for a relationship. Personally I would have no issues dating a girl with a disability, but if she bitched about her shortcomings all day I would get sick of hearing it.

    Cause you are letting It define you.
    Put it this way, the people who don't want to know you because of your Asperger's are probably self centred and stuck up there own arses :) so you don't need them anyway.

    You'll be single forever if you keep that attitude.
    Many people with Autism and aspergers are happily married.

        John Elder Robinson is one of them. I have heard of others too.

    I don't have it but I see people as more than that. I would be willing to date a person with Asperger's. That's what love is.

      Nothing is wrong with dying alone. Hitler didn't die alone, but many Vietnam vets die alone. Can you tell who's good/bad?

    I don't personally have Asperger's but I do have other issues that hold me back from these types of things. But, just because you have this issue that makes these things harder for you doesn't mean you'll never find anyone, even if it may feel that way. You're still very young, just remember there are plenty of people with no disorders who are in the same single boat.

    Find someone else who makes up fancy names for social anxiety and hook up with them.

      Aspergers isnt social anxiety, but some people will self diagnose the wrong symptoms. They are completely different conditions. Someone with aspergers will be unable to use nonverbal communication or relate to others while someone with social anxiety may be able to do those things but are anxious in social settings. Many people with aspergers are actually very social but dont understand what is approperiate and are unable to put themselves in other people situations. Also aspergers causes sensory problems, poor motor skills, trouble understanding emotions, and obsessive interests.

        And cancer is a fancy name for attention seeking.

        Deny Asperger's = deny reality. It's different from social anxiety, when will you admit it?

          I read a story about a school which locks children with aspergers in a cage at dinner times 'for their own safety' lol

    Every day, the same old same old. Weep, weep, weep, sob, sob, sob. It's NOT your disease, it's your using it as an excuse for being a failure in life, that makes you such a loser.

        I think you have a very short memory. This idiot has posted this exact thing over and over again for the last several weeks at least. He doesn't want help, he doesn't care who says what, he just keeps posting this woe is me bullshit.
        I've nothing against most with this disease; just this jackass.

    It's impossible to say hello because girls always run from me. I wouldn't ne surprised if I went through life without a kiss because Asperger's is truly a devastating condition. It DOES define me, whether I like it or not.

    Even the least attractive girl in the world is extremely difficult to talk to...

    Again, the problem is you're letting it define you. I have the same disorder, and yes it does get in the way of some things, but don't self-pity so much. Be patient, and if you want a relationship, start by talking to someone you're interested in. It's not hard to say hello.
