    "Boys will be boys"

    I kind of get it actually. It's the thin end of the wedge. I don't really like the phrase. I often look at children and wonder what sort of awful life they are going to end up with. I don't see innocence in them. I can look at a kid in the street and wonder if they will be drug dealer. I can...

    Is it possible to get back with someone?

    Ugh dreams like that are awful. I had a dream like that last week where I was walking in the park with this man I used to like and we were happy and just enjoying ourselves. I woke up and realised that I probably won't spend time with him like that again and I just felt sad. I'm not sure that I...

    Alone

    I can relate. I've been single for much longer than six years though. I was telling someone that it's been 15 years of nothing and I could see her doing sums in her head. I was like, I'm 35 by the way. She said the best thing she could have said, "Wow, you don't look 35, I thought you were...

    I suspect my mum is Aspie, but I still don't want contact!

    Hi I'm in the "you don't have to keep in touch if the relationship is toxic" camp as well. I feel like there is a little bit of narcissim going on in this description as well. Being an aspie isn't just speaking your mind inappropriately. Most of the aspies I know are shy and quiet women. This...

    "Bad" people

    I wonder if we're talking about the same kinda person. Meryl Streep springs to mind. She really creeps me out.

    Sorry, I took what you said a bit too literally.

    "Bad" people

    I have a couple of acquaintances like that. They're ok people, I don't have any real problems with them, but I do find that blank staring grin thing very unsettling. Like they are determined to be friendly. I've often wondered if they're aspies and give them the benefit of the doubt wondering if...

    "Bad" people

    Was that a joke and I dont' get it? I'll just pick up on the women bit because I am a woman. I feel hurt that you would dismiss me just because I am a woman. If we had a conversation and got along well I would like to think that a person would consider me for a friendship and not just dismiss...

    Anyone else think this way?

    You obviously haven't met some of the aspies I know, some can be very "it's my way or the highway" and think that everyone who doesn't conform to the way that they see things is stupid. I would also add that bearing in mind that Dawkins speciality is research on genes then he's probably arguing...

    Blame

    Thinking about the conversation you had later with your husband he might have responded better to something like: "I know that you have more experience than our eldest son and probably already know the answer to what he was talking about, but teenagers just need to express themselves to learn...

    The benefits of a focused mind

    Found this online today and I liked how this guy has a positive view of Aspergers. He says that it gives him a focussed mind which is a benefit because he's put so much work into his ultimate cat home and it looks amazing, the cats look happy too.

    Timing

    Ok I will admit that was a broad generalisation and therefore technically inacurate :p I live in the UK, the only thing i know about Dakota is that Doris Day sang a song about the black hills of Dakota...

    Timing

    No single men even want to be friends with me though.

    Timing

    What I find difficult is when I like someone I just want to say it straight out, but my timing always seems to be wrong. Like it's too soon, they don't know me so well and are cautious. There must be something in my demeanor that says "this girl wants a serious relationship" and men seem to feel...

    Okay, lets try this

    Yes I meant literally. Sometimes I feel that people often have a long list of things they want in a perfect partner, but don't think about what they actually have to offer. Personally, I think that the positive things that you've listed about yourself are definately good qualities. What does...
