    Obsession "fast" - how long can I Iast?

    I have tried this before. I don't usually last more than a few minutes or hours. But like the person into biking, much of my world now revolves around the topic, so I couldn't get away from it even when I want to. Someone else would inevitably bring up the topic.

    How many hours do you spend on your computer each day?

    I would say... the entire time that I am awake (sometimes when I am asleep too, actually) minus about 1 or 2 hours wherein I am driving to and from work, making something to eat, showering, taking the dog out, doing laundry... the stuff I have to do. But the computer is always on even when i am...

    Social Anxiety?

    I went to nightclubs for years. But only goth/fetish ones where practically everyone is an outcast of some sort. When I have tried going to a "normal" club or a bar, I barely last 10 minutes before I run away. As it is, I would beeline it for the bartender and order two drinks. I would slam...

    Social Anxiety?

    Strangely I seem to do best around people like Mindwar. If I know they're more afraid than I am, then I start to feel more confident. LoL. I always want to go DO THINGS and then I end up chickening out, hiding in my room, suddenly "too tired" to go do anything. Like.. hiking sounds fun...

    Ever considered surrounding yourself with other aspies?

    :skeptical:Sometimes I wish I could have a commune or city where everyone had aspergers. Then all my friends and potential significant others could be aspie too. Would it be a relief? Would I have to unlearn some of the NT behavior I had forced myself to learn? Would there be less...

    Do autistic/asperger's people have an abnormal love for animals?

    I have a border collie psychiatric service dog. I've had him about 12 years now, long before I knew about aspergers. In the past year I have started leaving him at home because its getting harder for him. My meds seem to get me through the day and I know he is waiting for me at home -...

    Do autistic/asperger's people have an abnormal love for animals?

    LoL. My friend has a lab mix named Maxim and whenever I come over my friend introduces me as "Maxim's best friend". She likes to have social gatherings a lot, and I don't really like those but I would go sometimes because I felt I should. And then I'd get there and run around with Max, half...

    Have you ever felt that you don't belong even in the Aspergers/ Autism community?

    I feel this exact same way. I am sufficiently high functioning that I feel like I'd be rejected by some with aspergers - but at the same time i have always been rejected by the NTs and most of the time I have no idea why. I have another friend in real life who is high functioning and had a...

    No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late...

    Why do I keep getting message when I try to access photos and other forums and my profile? And how come my profile pic isn't showing up? Tigerlily, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient...

    No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late...

    I was only 2 classes shy of a double BA in Anthropology when I graduated. I didn't finish because I had already been accepted to the grad program at UCLA, but I really wish I had gotten it.

    No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late...

    I don't understand introductions. You're not going to actually remember me until you have something TO remember, which will probably involve posts in other threads. I am an Alaskan Indian (mom's side) who passes for white (dad's side) and grew up in California and Hawaii. I have a Masters...
