Hello everyone,

I am an incomplete paraplegic, due to Guillain-Barre‚ Syndrome at age 7.
I need either crutches and leg braces or a wheelchair to get around.

Due to my physical disabilities, I do have a neurogenic bladder and
neurogenic bowel, and I am incontinent (at the most I have a "two
minute warning", if I am not using some sort of protection to prevent
an accident from occurring.

I do not smoke, I am drug and disease free and I intend to stay that way.

I am looking for a strong platonic friendship first, and am open to more if
the right person who truly loves me comes along. I am not looking for a
"one night stand", but someone who can be a lifelong friend.

I am not looking for sex, but if a friendship of a more romantic nature
develops then I am open to it. I am looking for someone who can love
me and accept me for who I am. I have learned to accept my disability,
and I do not mind if someone is attracted to me for my disability, but I
hope it is for more and that I am accepted as a total person.

I have Asperger's Syndrome which is a very high functioning form of
Autism, that is quite different than "Classic Autism", but is still on the
Autism Spectrum.

I am on disability, and have not worked for many years. So I have all
the time in the world, but not much in the way of income. I am willing
to relocate for the right person, who will love me and will treat me right.

I have started using a power chair due to osteoarthritis from years of use
of crutches and leg braces.

If you are interested, please feel free to email me and we can get to know
each other better... and who knows what will happen.

What I look for in a friend is someone who is open, honest, candid, intelligent,
and has a good sense of humor. Those requirements mean more than anything.
It is what I give, and it is what I would like in return.

I am a very conservative person in general, and I am also a person of great faith
(I am of Jewish Heritage, and I was raised a Roman Catholic...I have had both my
Bar Mitzvah and my Confirmation, and I am very devout in both traditions of my
faith... my family turned to the Roman Catholic Church to escape the Antisemitism
of pre-WW2 Europe, but my Jewish Heritage has always remained strong my entire
life), but I do not "force" it on anyone.

I am ethnically Irish-Scottish-Polish-Jewish-American.

I will reply to anyone and everyone who writes me.

G-d Bless and Shalom,

Benjamin
