    I am considered a Grammar Nazi, is this a common Aspie trait?

    I can tolerate a lot but I feel that I *must* speak up when someone uses the apostrophe wrong (or forgets it). Many Americans have no clue anymore when to write it's and when to write its. Unbearable.

    Anniversaries are dumb

    I prefer to be alone, on the road to someplace, when it's my birthday and over the past years I've been very lucky that a Polish conference I attend to usually starts right after so indeed I am abroad that day, alone or with just one travel companion who does not care whose birthday it might be...

    Autistic Girlfriend, I am depressed

    Is she prefers not to have conversations, respect that. You can have conversations with just about everyone so there's no need to make her do the same. You find her attractive to be with, so there must be something besides (non-)conversation that makes you happy. Hygiene you could point out to...

    Anyone Else Forgetful When It Comes To Names?

    One of my earliest school memories is realising that all other classmates knew each other's name when I had no clue who most of them were by name.

    Born in the wrong decade

    Oh no not politics! And certainly not USA politics, that's the worst kind ;-) If we have to discuss politics, we only stand strong as aspies if we stand as one so I propose we all share MY opinion! Just kidding. None of the politics. But a decent and affordable health care system is something...

    Born in the wrong decade

    I grew up (more or less) in the sixties and they were much the same, just without wifi, "Yesterday" by The Beatles was more like "Tomorrow" and a lot of people were not dead yet. I'd like to be a lichen on a rock somewhere deep in the woods. I would grow very very old very quietly and very few...

    How to write less formally?

    If possible, just allow yourself to be happy and enjoy language the way you personally do. Blending in will never completely work so it's maybe more fun to stick out in a moderate way. I know I have this slightly formal way of talking and writing and I try to imply that I do it in part for fun...

    Routines vs. Schedules

    Routines are wonderful, changes aren't bad as long as there is LOTS of alone time left over to be happy in. Solitude is the best. Meeting, cooperating, brainstorming is excellent and joyful as long as there is an ocean of quiet on each end of the activities.

    How do you feel after a breakup?

    The doubt and anxiety before the beakup are bad in my experience but the actual breakup can be a great relief. A relationship that was almost happening but then didn't materialize was harder to cope with, once. Letting go of my own dreams was painful, apparently. It can seem heartless from the...

    Things only you would get upset about

    Last year when I booked a return trip from Amsterdam to visit my youngest daughter who lives in Sydney Australia, I needed to fill out an online form to get the necessary visa. getting all such things organized exactly right is a task in all circumstances, but this one proved impossible. "When...

    Vague find ;-)

    A Hello from Amsterdam. I just learned of the existence of this community through a chance find and if this was a coffee place I'd sure go and hang out, enjoy the company. Somehow people with aspects of Asperger feel relaxing and familiar to me, I know the feeling of wondering what the * is the...
