    What are your obsessions?

    My obession is comparing military vehicles; I like going to tank museums and playing creative strategy games like Warhammer 40K and Men of War. I like all the technical detail of it. I feel that I would have been an engineer if I didn't do media.

    Long-term relationship trouble

    Thanks. :) You mention communication, that VD letter was a rare moment of openness as normally she's too tired/depressed to have an honest talk about it. That's why I was glad to have a written letter rather than her just buying an 'I love you' card.

    Long-term relationship trouble

    If anything staying here is costing her, which among other things is also why I don't think she's a 'user' at heart. She said that her main reason for not going back to her family is that she'd feel awkward like a failure to be doing nothing while her parents are working. The VD letter wasn't...

    Most Aspie-friendly places to visit or live?

    I think I've been lucky as an Aspie in the east of England, as we have the combination of good research and good support/respect. And more locally, there's colleges which support the students with Autism while also not ghettoising us into a whole 'special college'. Generally speaking, American...

    Trouble with Telling people that I'm an Aspie

    I told my girlfriend about my AS after a few weeks of being together in-person (earlier we had only talked online). I done that because I wanted to get the right balance between hiding it and just blurting it out on our first meeting. I wanted her to get to know who I was without the 'AS' label...

    how do you feel about the dolphin slaughter in japan

    I don't normaly follow animal rights debates but I still find strange inconsistencies with Japan's defence of its whale hunts; it says that the hunting is for "science" and not for the food markets, yet when Japan is under pressure from governments/NGOs it claims that they're "supressing Japan's...

    Long-term relationship trouble

    She was quite vague when I talked about it, which makes me think it's more a frame of mind. Sometimes she did give examples but as mentioned earlier they were cases of just venting her worries at me rather than actually having a dialogue. She does have a girl friend that she's talked alot to...

    Long-term relationship trouble

    Thanks to everyone for the help and advice. :) Aye giving space is good as I don't want to come across as an over-controling boyfriend, but I'm wondering to myself where do things cross the line from "giving space" to "standing idle while she lets her depression implode our relationship". I...

    Long-term relationship trouble

    Hi everyone, I've been in a relationship with my NT girlfriend for 4 years now; around 3 years of it was long-distance and we'd visit eachother during university holidays, and for the past year we've been living together. Ever since Christmas she's been more distant and depressed; I was...

    Would you accept a cure?

    ^This. I wouldn't accept a cure as it's eugenics by the back door.

    I like blue, I play Warhammer 40K and the forum can touch on medical issues, so I thought it was a good mix. :)

    Anime

    I'm obsessed with Ghost in the Shell (still not sure why I havn't seen Arise yet!) and I've also seen Death Note. Other than that I've found it hard to get into other series.

    Hi :) When I was at college I was able to meet with about 25 other Autistic students, which had quite an effect on me since I was able to see how different we can be despite all being on the spectrum. It's also where I found out about the wider autim issues and politics surrounding it. I think...
