    Having a relationship with someone with Asperger's

    "Coping with having things on his terms, not yours?" well there in lies the problem. doesn't appear to be an equal relationship if everything has to be on your terms. the key is gentle communication in order to find a balance. all aspies are different of course but we tend to appreciate...

    "You use autism as an excuse."

    I have found the average person can not understand clinical depression let alone something more complicated such as high functioning autism. unfortunately most people can not think or feel much beyond their own experience, context, history, and belief systems. i have lost a marriage because of...

    Seriously

    milk is for baby cows. not necessarily good for people but not the boogie man either. there is scientific evidence for a link between casin protein and human prostate tumors but nothing with autism

    Sex for an aspie?

    impossible to say what the differences are between NT and HFAs as everyone is different personally being HFA, i like touch, pda, and sex with someone i am into. maybe since i dont get alot of feedback from understanding the more subtle body language cues. as for everyone else, i dont like...

    Love, depression, suicide worry with Aspie ex

    clarity is the only option. tell him how you feel but also dont pressure him into an immediate response. everyone is different in what they need from a relationship so the hard part is figuring out if you are compatible as people do not change much and probably not at all in the core values...

    My boyfriend doesn't believe my diagnosis .... long story

    hi it may take him some time to accept the dx but i would be concerned that his reaction is to tease. i know this can be a common way of dealing with situations but probably not the best for your situation. at least it was not for me. when i was diagnosed, my wife at the time tried to...

    My aspie boyfriend is very clingy...is this normal?

    lots of reasons for being clingy so hard to say. i can relate from my own experience as an aspie. when i really like someone, it is easier for me to express myself and therefore may overdo it since its exciting to me and i am comfortable enough to express myself more. this is something i...

    "Everyone is like that"

    yes.....super annoying because it is incredible difficult for me to put into words how i feel and then get a dismissive reply. i get it that everyone feels something sometimes but i wish i could explain the differences better. worst response was, " sounds like a guy thing" ugghhh

    As an Aspie/Autie do you know who you are?

    remember hearing a quote from a close friend of robin williams after he committed suicide commenting how he never knew the real robin as robin was always in character. pretty much sums up how i operate in life.

    As an Aspie/Autie do you know who you are?

    great topic...i continually try to understand who i am. i remember studying kids on the school bus in 3rd grade in order to fit in. it has been more or less this the last 40 years. i try so hard to fit in that i feel i have lost myself or havent ever really known myself. pretty scary concept.

    What to except when being diagnosed with Autism

    good questions but depends on what you are expecting as a result of diagnosis. i freaked out for a while since i was not expecting it and was seeking help for anxiety. pretty much blew me away. if you are expecting it, then your reaction would be different. bottom line, if you are having...

    Can Asperger's get worse as you age?

    lots of factors that may apply. some folks may feel less autistic as they figure out more coping skills. others may feel worse as life stressors build up and they can not cope as well. lots of in betweens and variables there. bottom line, everyone is different. personally, i feel more...

    Does Having Intelligence Make It Difficult Connecting With People?

    intelligence and aspergers presents is challenge when talking with the average NT. i struggle with not correcting people as most folks dont want to know they are wrong. i also find most NTs do not want to critically think about topics due to cognitive dissonance.
