    Sifting Through Autism

    I apologize that you see it as a complaint, or if it is seen in general just as that. I have expressively wanted to know how I should be handling this, or if the problem is me, myself. I am willing to work with that. However what I got from your message is that "people like me" shouldn't expect...

    Sifting Through Autism

    I concur. I think improvement is necessary at this point, though I can't help but think it's because it's my fault. As for neutral ground, what do you suggest in order to achieve a neutral ground or what is considered as one? We have tried talking things out when things are no longer heated or...

    And that's what I'm trying to figure out, because whenever we talk about each issues, she says it's because she's in the spectrum. And I honestly believe that we're missing something that prevents us from understanding where the problem is.

    Sifting Through Autism

    Is it because it's a different part of the spectrum you think? I have read that there are different kinds in the spectrum, could this be one of the differences?

    Going Nowhere

    Yes, we have tried chatting online. The results are... Not so good. I type too fast... And she reads only the last sentence I send.

    Also if anyone wants me to explain how or why I feel a certain way, I'd be glad to tell you my point of view as well.

    Going Nowhere

    We've been friends for 16 years and these patterns are consistent to a point that I have no clue how to solve it. I've tried walking away, leaving it on the table to discuss later, discussing it then and there. Several different patterns. What I'm hoping for is that she tries to understand...

    Going Nowhere

    She does describe what tone she is taking from what I've said, and I would actually tell her to her face that "I do not feel that way, I feel sad/angry/annoyed". Not necessarily those emotions, but those are just examples. I would actually tell her what I'm feeling, and she would say, "no it's...

    Bump. Are there any suggestions out there? If I don't get a reply within a week I won't be bumping again as to avoid being a pain lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Going Nowhere

    Oh sorry for the misunderstanding I was talking figurately about trading blows, I meant it as a verbal fight. We've never actually physically hurt each other, it was just nasty catty verbal assaults which can be quite hurtful. As I've said earlier when we save things for later, the details are...

    Going Nowhere

    So my friend is in the spectrum, and I try really hard to understand her. I admit that I'm no Saint, I can't understand every aspect of being in the spectrum since I am not one myself. I do not believe that folks in the spectrum are less capable or less compassionate, less anything. I do believe...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hello everyone, I'm Marci, and I'm not in the spectrum. Rather, I'm here for my friend who is. She's got aspergers and she found that out within the last three years. We're both 29, it's a long time of misdiagnosis since she was born. I'll be honest here, and I'm not here to brag, I'm here to...
