    Being alone.

    Solitude is one of the things I value most highly. Being a network technician I do not have to work in an office with a bunch of other people around. I go to a clients office, do my thing and leave. Most of the time I can work from home by remoting into a client's computer. Now that my wife is...

    Why autistic people won't look others in the eye...

    I learned how to get around this by looking at a person's mouth while they talk. To them it looks like I am looking them in the eye but for me I can avoid the uncomfortable eye contact that distracts me. One time a friend who has beautiful piercing blue eyes was talking to me about a very deep...

    Is Life Really Supposed To Be This Lonely

    I used to seek out friendships and after I had some friends I really just wanted to be left alone. Most of the time I prefer my own company to the company of others. Now I have a one or two close friends and one of them lives 2800 miles away which is perfect. I have often thought that if I were...

    Do you like or hate watching sport?

    I don't hate it, I just don't see the point.

    Hatred of team sports

    I have never liked watching team sports except baseball, and that is because I enjoy seeing the battle between the pitcher and the batter. The only sports I like to play are one on one sports like racquet ball, handball or tennis. Surprisingly, I love going to the gun range and shooting a...

    Interesting comment from my therapist

    Thank you everyone for all of your comments and opinions on my therapist's statement. I really did not know what to make of it myself when I heard it. I think that it is overly simplistic. Autism Spectrum Disorder encompasses such a broad range of symptoms and levels of severity that it is...

    Interesting comment from my therapist

    In a previous thread of mine I stated that I just got my confirmation diagnosis of ASD. I got the sense from him that he is not totally in favor of the elimination of Aspergers as a diagnosis. His comment to me was this: (and I am paraphrasing) An autistic lives in his/her own world, separate...

    I first suspected that I was an Aspie bout a year ago and was just diagnosed today at the age of 62.

    My first visit to a therapist-It is confirmed, I am an Aspie

    I had my first visit to a therapist today and he was able to confirm what I thought was true, I am an Aspie. I asked him if he thought I had autism spectrum disorder and he said to me that I was right on target with my belief. This comes as a relief to me. I finally know that I am not strange...

    Shaving with a double edge razor

    If he is interested, send me a PM and I can help get him started. I originally got into this because I got tired of paying $32 for 8 Fusion cartridges that would last 3-4 months. For $10 I can get 100 double edge blades that will last me a year. It wasn't until after I started shaving with a...

    Shaving with a double edge razor

    Oh no, not a straight edge. I wouldn't trust me 62 year old hands to that. I use a vintage Gillette safety razor that is 20 years older than me.
