    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    2 out of 3 are NTs but one is grew up with Aspie friends and family. to me a conversation is an exchange of dialogue, there doesn't have to be a point - though sharing information about each other (likes and dislikes, dating no-no's, kinks, etc) is normally how it works. Passing the baton is...

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    Oh yeah, most definitely makes dating very complicated. Add to that the myriad of other personal preferences I understand that. Even being heteroflexible doesn't increase the dating pool enough to compensate. The issue for me is all those hurdles are being met and jumped by these prospective...

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    I have never more do I know how to apply for any sort of disability. My current insurance is worthless and I never had the education to know how to navigate those sorts of things since I didn't get diagnosed until two years ago

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    I am trying to move out, lease is up in August and that's a whole other can of worms of stress and housing an ugh. I'm not attached to living with them my ex hides on the second floor while I live in the basement. It's time to move on for both of us.

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    Everybody is aware of my status as A) Aspie. B) Polyamorous. C) living with an ex that wants nothing to do with me.

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    Implying that they might being using subtext or key phrases I'm unaware of? Potentially, I assume words as written, but there haven't been any obvious code words....though I doubt idea be aware if there where.

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    I am on the spectrum and also bipolar, so I'm fighting a lot to figure out which thoughts are my own. What does "ememing" mean? Mixed messaging me?

    The stress of starting/trying to date someone

    I do not understand how people manage the dating scene sometimes. Or not even the scene, but just the idea of dating. In the past two weeks I have had three individual situations that have been something that could lead somewhere. But, just... Aren't. And I am so exhausted mentally and...

    Are there any Math fans here ?

    As a kid math was painfully easy. I didn't understand why people had such a hard time with it. As early as kindergarten I was correcting other kids, and have a very specific memories of teaching other kids using algebra, something my first grade teacher noticed. So the question was 15-7=? I'm...

    Understanding not being understood...

    First, the topic at hand, if you ever have a party or situation like that, do not let yourself escape it. For your own sanity your home needs to be a safe space for you. If you enjoy having people over for game night, fantastic, but don't let them make you a prisoner there. I was with a girl...

    Things about you NT's find weird or unusual

    I have been accused, more than a few times, for "Sheldoning" something. It's like mansplaining, but how I do it is not based on who audience is. If I feel I bring up something that I feel isn't common knowledge, I side track and explain that thing even if I wasn't asked to. The thing is that I...

    I feel awful... But I can't handle other aspies

    Thank you all very much. I expect a lot of myself, especially being accepting of all peoples, so this was just a sore spot. My partner also brought up that if I interact with intoxicated people, it's very similar. I'm not sure how they will react so I'm somewhat guarded in my behavior. Where...

    I feel awful... But I can't handle other aspies

    I should also state that in highschool I volunteered for a.sort of big brother role with some of our "special needs" kids. It wasn't something I did for credit, never signed paperwork, it's not in my school history, but it was just something I did. I would go during lunch or in the morning...

    Where should I get my tattoo?

    Its a matter of the importance in my opinion. I have two balanced tattoos on my forearms so it's immediately noticable. For me the tattoos are something the label or are representative of a person. They matter in how people judge your appearance like clothes or hygiene. So how important is it...

    I feel awful... But I can't handle other aspies

    I think that's the issue. I've had to build this catalogue of how people behave, or at least potential predictable patterns. I mean it's not like I'm some perfect person reader, I don't know how, but I know and am used to certain perameters of response. So, a person who behaves so extremely...
