    Focusing A Life People Accepting Me As Is

    Once you dispense with the silly notion of being accepted, the sooner you'll be liberated! I never did try to "fit in". I've always danced to the beat of my own drum and hang what anyone else feels or thinks about me. The sooner you come to that conclusion, the happier you'll be!

    Asperger's - Hard to Keep Friends

    People in my life are like tumble weeds. They blow into my life and out, and I barely notice their passing. I don't want friends. They complicate life. Humans in general are nasty and aggressive creatures and I've come to the conclusion that you're better off without them.

    Anniversaries are dumb

    I think, being in a relationship is just straight up dumb. I think anniversaries are a way to compete with others, how long you can put up with another stupid human being!

    Favorite metal/Alloy

    My favourite metal has always been steel, ever since I can remember. Cold, hard, strong, heavy, SHINY polished steel! Pinballs and nuts and bolts have always been my favourites! STRONG!

    Something bugging me... I hope others get this?

    Well, first of all, you're under no obligation to tell them anything. It's none of their business. BUT... If you do want to tell them, why don't you just say 'I've got an ASD!" and see if they want to delve into it - and go from there!

    What to except when being diagnosed with Autism

    Well, you either are on The Spectrum or you're not. Go and get tested. You don't need to know what to expect. Just be yourself and if you truely are on The Spectrum, it'll come out. If you're not, that'll come out too but knowing what the tests are beforehand and knowing what to expect could...

    Can't seem to bother to text people anymore

    The only person who texts (or rings) me is my sister, and that's only to abuse me. I quite often put my phone in flight mode because I don't want to be contact by ANYONE. My phone is good for playing videos and music, and playing games like Hearts.

    Life Skills, Relationship or Career?

    1) Life skills; 2) A decent career As for a healthy long term relationship, the next time a relationship looks like it's heading my way, I'm going to run so fast, you won't see me for the dust!

    Do People Think You Are Blaming Them?

    Not that I'm always the most diplomatic Aspie but after many years of "putting my foot in my mouth" and suffering the (sometimes violent) consequences, I've learned a few things: - You could soften this one with, "I'm sorry. I'm having a bit of trouble hearing you." - The 'should' turns it...

    Did your parents try to take away your special interests?

    No. My Special Interest was (and still is) Astronomy and my Mum used to support my interest by buying books and magazines about Astronomy. And even though we never had much money, when I was around 10 years old, she even bought me a 4½" reflector telescope. I'm 50 now and still have it.

    Are there distinct stages people go through after diagnosis?

    I was first diagnosed in 2007. Although I'd heard of Asperger's Syndrome, I had no idea what it was or tht it was part of the Autism spectrum. I was sent to a psychiatrist by work for depression and he picked it up. After I went home and did a bit of research on it and discovered it was a form...

    I can't feel love for people!

    I am that way as well. I just don't seem to be interested in having friends or a relationship. I'm 50 and have always been the same. People come ang go into and out of my life. If they're in it, I don't mind but when they leave my life, I usually don't notice for a long time. As far as love is...
