    The internal struggles of a young guy with high functioning autism

    please don't think i'm trying to berate your situation in any way.. my father is alive, but i had a significant amount of family trauma between age 11-13 (one of which being my fathers mental breakdown, so.. for me.. even to this day he's more like a terrible step father i got stuck living with...

    my first vacation... soon

    i think we're in full agreeance with cities.. i've lived very close to boston my whole life. i'll agree there's a lot of social stuff to do for social people.. and the museums are super fun if you can deal with the crowds (preferably go on an unpopular day/time.. as i try to do with everything)...

    The last thing that made you laugh

    this isn't "really adult".. but for me it kinda is my ex non-g/f (we didn't do anything but she acted like my g/f to use me.. feel free to ask) had one of those fun tantrum things. we were chatting, somebody called.. asked what i was doing and i said "talking to Jdawg" (her name was "Jessica")...

    Men: What is your definition of a "nice" lady?

    i have a very strict moral system (simply put, think of a strict christian system.. and you're close enough to understand, but mine isn't based in any religion except my own)..... and i would ideally love for that system to be useful. but, that aside.. i want somebody who treats me as a...

    WHAT IS YOUR ONE BIG TURNOFF WHEN LOOKING FOR A PARTNER?

    when she talks about her exs.. i wont drag on here but i've come to learn i'm apparently in love with this girl. through all of my strict morality systems and her lack there of (severe lack thereof when compared to mine).. i still care about her. but i have no idea how to show it and everytime...

    Do you believe in God?

    i've built my own religion.. no specific name. basically (i'll try to keep this short.. but i am explaining a religion..) everything has a spirit/soul/essence/whatever you want to use for the term.. if it's alive, it has a spirit. so a human, a dog and a tree are all the same to me but with...

    random thought about myself

    i'll do the same thing, both for yelling or just when a situation becomes too much. the problem being that it happens automatically at this point and i personally hate driving and haven't been doing it very long so i'll "blank out" or whatever you want to call it. which goes unnoticed usually...

    random thought about myself

    while i do wish i was more of a social butterfly, i am glad that the people who do end up liking me and sticking around are.. at their core.. good people. even if they're having trouble in the life or they're just a bit crazy or heavy alcohol/drug users. i don't have a "friend" category for...

    Projecting fears on to others

    i will do a similar thing.. i call it sympathy pains. similar to how when a woman is pregnant and the husband will get sick when she gets sick (it's not super common but it happens).. i'll do it with just about everything. i won't worry as much if they aren't worried.. but if they're even...

    Knowing your person well what do you know you cannot have?

    severe depression.. the only job i had where i didn't tremble and cry was nightshift work. and i ended up having a surgery that didn't go properly.. long story short, i can't do the level of physical stuff needed for that kind of job anymore. so other than trying to do stuff on my own, i haven't...

    #MisfitsUnite!—An Aspie’s Call for Social Change

    a "good" thing about depression is all the inward thought you get to do. a lot of it is negative and you create your own blocks which keeps the depression going..... but you get to learn a lot about yourself. one thing i do believe.. is that cities are terrible for humans. when you're in the...

    Knowing your person well what do you know you cannot have?

    try making a list like this, but reverse it. find positive points for all of it (for example, you can't feel others pain.. only you know the extent of that. but a positive can be that you're very calm and rational in a crisis. where others will panic and lose their thoughts and react in a...

    Dating sucks. I have very high standards.

    i'll talk to anybody who talks to me.. usually even if it's just a busy isle i'll atleast say something like "sorry" and have a little giggle as i try to get around them.. but that's my extent of interaction without more on their part. also around here most girls go with their boyfriends or a...
