    Does anyone else have a phobia?

    Mannequins, marionettes, dolls, some masks, basically human replications of sorts that's devoid of life

    How do you balance being yourself and "fitting in"

    Haha I'd like to think I'm adept at navigating through the greys but that might just be wishful thinking. You're right, there's far too much unnecessary guff. I'm of the opinion that it's a combination of a double standard and the majority ultimately being selfish. Double standard because we...

    How do you balance being yourself and "fitting in"

    Maelstrom it's interesting to read your advice. I've started a new job that requires a lot of one on one communication with a client for an extended period of time, and those are the exact steps I take to initiate and sustain a conversation with a complete stranger. It's a hit and miss for the...

    A few weird things about me.

    Too funny. My childhood was filled with battered and bruised shoulders from running into doorways. It's not us that's clumsy, inanimate objects are sneaky, never know when they'll attack. Perfectly flat even floors are particularly tricky.

    Do You Feel Like An Alien?

    Perhaps the problem is equating 'normal' with 'majority'. I'm pretty sure if we were the majority, the social behaviors of the NTs would automatically appear weird and out of place.

    Does Anyone Else Stall, Mid Sentence?

    All of the above. Sometimes it depends on how much resources I've devoted to expression. Others it's just simply trying to remember the word I had in my original thought but momentarily lost. On the flip side when I'm riled sometimes I go trancelike. It appears either I've memorized a passage...

    What advice would you give your 30 year old self?

    Let people say what they will. It's not your job to educate a closed mind. The task is futile. Stop listening to what people say. Relax and open your senses. Trust your own aspie intuition. It's accuracy and precision is better than you give it credit. Don't forget to breathe.

    Confused between what is thought, said, meant to say

    Love the firmware/software reference, it explains so very much with such simplicity. Turk that happens to me sometimes too, although I don't mind it when they are actually accurate with the assumed response (i'm somewhat impressed they'd get it right). Its when they get the assumptions wrong...

    Confused between what is thought, said, meant to say

    Seems to he a common problem between my NT family and I. Let me explain, when I communicate, I say what I mean and mean what I say. There is no disparity, no hidden agendas, no between the lines. Accuracy and consistency makes for simple and direct expression on my part. My family however pick...

    Do You Feel Like An Alien?

    Not alien per se but definitely something different. Hence my namesake. It always baffled me why NTs spent so much time and energy on the superficial interactions. Almost as though efficacy and efficiency are inversely proportional. While my calculated no BS approach is deemed...

    Aspergers and your Relationship

    Clip our wings then simultaneously point out and complain that we can't fly.

    Restarter

    Hi everyone, I love that there's a somewhere that I can voice what's in my head and not seem out of the ordinary, or worse still, explain everything to the smallest detail, only to be met by blank faces. Some background about me, I'm in my early thirties, of asian decent living in Aust...
