"Hi guys
As someone who is on the spectrum, I was wondering are there other people on here that are as well if so how do you find meeting people? "
There have been previous threads about this so you may want to search. There are plenty of Fab folk on the spectrum. |

Did find some other threads on the subject but they all seemed to have died of and this is the most recent thread. Hoping to maybe revive it.
I (male of the couple) am on the spectrum, and wondered how other swingers on the spectrum handle things.
Clubs are big sticking point - we really want to try a club but worried about the anxiety and sensory issues due to my condition. |

Is it worth taking small steps, like driving to the club but not getting out of the car. Baby steps like this.
Apologies for my ignorance on the subject, I know of someone issues linked to this but no way know enough to understand. |

Is it the crowds of people or the noise levels that worry you? |

I know of at least 3 people who are successful on Fab and have autistic spectrum condition. It seems that clubs tend to work well for them because the social nuances are minimal - I'm assuming you can get naked and just ask to join in but I don't know for sure. |

Away with the fairies (Liverpool to you) |
*waves* I have ASD and I find it quite easy meeting people....mostly I think because I am a girl so when I get really excited and flap people think I am cute or tipsy. Clubs and parties can be horrendous if the music is loud - my brain gets jumbled and can't think.I am not keen on too many people too so we mostly do smaller or quieter parties and private meets. We have a group of friends who all know and they aren't bothered at all so that's good  |

I'm an aspie and have found fab to be a great way of meeting people. I haven't tried going to a club yet as I'm not very good in crowds, but I intend to go at some point. |

ASD does cover a wide range of people and symptoms that affect the person , some will be internal some will externalise into behaviours and mannerism. Labels can worry others but simple explanations calm others. I will sometimes where necessary say I have nerve damage in my hand (true), the fact its due to MS is largely irrelevant for most people but knowing I have nerve damage makes sense of my actions, putting them and me at ease. Go for a simple honest approach .."Hi my name is X, I wanted to try a club but I am new and nervous.." Hey presto you are chatting to someone, thats half the battle over!
Try and enjoy! |

"I prefer the term ASC rather than ASD - it's not a disorder, it's a condition. "
Maybe it isnt either. Maybe its just that all people are different and unique. |

Such is variables from conception and then birth that it's impossible for us not to be a bit different, there is nothing that can't be overcome with autistic problems may take loads effort and a bit of a gritted teeth moment. Hope o.p has a ball and 10 quid says if he is hung like my brother it's gonna be huge ha ha |

I share a lot in common with aspies and I know a fair few people on the spectrum or with kids on the spectrum. Nothing to worry about if it's an issue of blending in or being accepted. Do your thing, man!  |

You said you had sensory issues... Which issues? I have SPD. |
