    How often do you use profanity IRL?

    I have been swearing a lot lately, much more than usual, and I am not happy with it. It seems like every other word out of my mouth is damn. I'm not saying I don't drop the f-bomb sometimes, but I usually don't overdo it. I am pretty careful in public, and around friends or family who are more...

    Friends or no friends??

    I have had friends off and on throughout my life. I don't really have any social anxiety. But I haven't had any close friends in a long time. I do have a partner that I have been with for 13 years. I think I am just not good at doing my part in keeping a friendship going. I'm not good at keeping...

    Viruses/Anti Virus Software?

    I use the free version of AVIRA. it does have a single pop-up each time you use the computer, asking you to upgrade to the pay version, but it is very effective. I was using Avast, but it really seemed to slow my computer down. I have opened multiple virus laden things and it always quarantines...

    Self-diagnosed Aspies

    I have been to enough therapist and psychologist and psychiatrist in my life to realize that an awful lot of them are actually pretty clueless. I have not sought out a professional diagnosis because of the difficulty in doing so and the fact that it would not benefit me in any way, aside from...

    Hey, Sorry I haven't answered sooner. I get involved in other things and then ignore things...

    Hey, Sorry I haven't answered sooner. I get involved in other things and then ignore things. I'm getting prepared for cyclocross racing season, and have been busy training and obsessing about it. I haven't been on the forums for a while. I'm doing alright. Work is also demanding right now, my...

    Time frames and Asperger's

    I am terrible at time management. Right now, I am stealing the easiest time I can, sleep. I get up 1-1/2hrs before I have to be at work. But I am habitually late to work by about 2 minutes. Fortunately no one seems to care, and I make up the time. I've always been last minute at everything. If...

    What are your current obsessions?

    Been very busy with my obsession, bicycling. I have been road racing in a local series, in the C group (the bottom class) and riding mountain bikes, and my cyclocross bike on the trail. I'm training for cyclocross racing season this fall. I'm not great at road racing, I usually finish about 5th...

    When was the last time you had social contact?

    Work, although I don't count that. I'm friendly, but not really social. I do talk to my coworkers, and sometimes we actually have conversations. Home,my partner, again not counting that. After 13 years I don't think of it as socializing. So that would leave the 10 minutes in the park parking lot...

    Love museums?

    Yeah, I love museums, When I was 14 my dad took me to Chicago. He was in a conference all day, so I got on the bus and went to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Natural History Museum, plus the aquarium, and planetarium. I was stationed near Chicago when I was in the Navy and I would take...

    How chaotic is your life? Schedules, routines, plans, goals...

    Tomorrow I am taking a notebook to work to keep a journal of what I do there. I am going to do the same thing at home, but on my computer. I GPS and Google maps the hell out of stuff, I often will look at where I have to go on street view. Sleep is the main thing I need to work on right now, I...

    How chaotic is your life? Schedules, routines, plans, goals...

    I'm working on it. Right now I pretty much am terrible at it, but i do believe it's something I need to do. I need to get organized, starting with having my work clothes and all my stuff ready in the morning. sometimes it seems like every morning is a battle: find the keys, did I pack pants...

    How Do You Explain To Others What Aspergers Is?

    I need to talk to my partner about this. He should know. Part of me thinks he will understand, and believe me, but there have been times where he has basically told me that what I felt wasn't real, or was not important. I don't want to tell him if he is just going to say "no you're not" or...

    Longest Relationship?

    13 years, I think we both know how and when to compromise. We have had some very hard times, even in the first year things were very trying. And I think we both really committed to the relationship early on, because the choice was to make it work even in the tough times, or split up. That "being...

    Obsession "fast" - how long can I Iast?

    Aside from the active part of my interest, riding, training, racing (racing badly lately). Retreating into my alone time with my obsession is something that comforts me after a long day of being in a nearly overwhelmed state. It's soothing and at the same time exciting, even if I'm just...

    Obsession "fast" - how long can I Iast?

    I wouldn't even know how to start, I'd have to put gas in my truck, I wouldn't have any social activities, I would have to buy new shoes, and go to the gym. My interest is bicycling, and it's also my main form of transportation. So no, I don't think I could give it up. There are four bicycles in...
