    What do you look for in your "ideal" mate?

    I definitely can relate to this description. It's a very nice one. How sad to think that I may have lost all that... :cry:

    Tell Me Your Story Of ASD ?!?!

    I am still waiting for my official diagnosis, which will come... tomorrow! I guess the question is if I have enough AS traits to make me fall in the spectrum (probably with mild AS) or outside it, or at least this is what it sounded the last time I talked to the psychologists in charge of the...

    What do you look for in your "ideal" mate?

    I would like a partner with whom I can fully share my inner life. First of all my thoughts about all sort of things and secondly my emotions. He should make me feel so comfortable that I have no issue in expressing precisely what I feel in any situation. I would also like to be accepted for...

    How to deal with obsessions due to separation?

    I have been in a LDR for about six years, three of which Europe-US and the last three Europe-Europe (much better). I did not have issues with the same type of obsessions that you are experiencing, but I did have a lot of abandonement issues: until I knew the dates of our next week(s) together, I...

    Second chance in a relation with AS (undiagnosed) man

    Hi All, this post [LONG!] is somewhat connected to this other one: https://www.aspiescentral.com/threads/aspie-self-diagnosed-aspie-suspected-relationship-looking-for-advice.16433/#post-314724 which I wrote sometime ago. Me and my boyfriend (or maybe ex I should say, it's a bit unknown at...

    Getting an official diagnosis - "hostility" from relatives

    Hi all, I am a young woman (early 30s) in the process of getting a formal diagnosis of AS. It was not easy to get to being assessed, because it turns out I can compensate well for the AS (which probably is also not too severe) and over the years I managed to develop good social skills, which...

    Aspie (self-diagnosed) - Aspie (suspected) relationship. Looking for advice

    I agree with this... I did exactly the same and funnily enough, probably because of this continous exercise, I do very few faux pas in all kinds of social situations, especially with NTs. But he is not! And I really did not think at the beginning that he could have a different functioning! If I...

    Aspie (self-diagnosed) - Aspie (suspected) relationship. Looking for advice

    This is a good point and I think it's somewhat true also in our case. He has no problem with strong positive emotions, but there is clearly a problem when sadness, anger or something else takes over (in other people). I am also very sensitive to other people's emotions and for example, if I am...

    Aspie (self-diagnosed) - Aspie (suspected) relationship. Looking for advice

    It sounds like a sensible advice, thanks! I will certainly follow it, in case I am given "a second chance" (my partner is currently deciding if the understanding of how we both work - which is a very recent discovery - is sufficient to forget about all the mess that happened so far and to...

    Aspie (self-diagnosed) - Aspie (suspected) relationship. Looking for advice

    First of all thanks a lot for your answer Cali! This sounds definitely familiar :oops: He also once stated that I seemed to attach a huge meaning to unimportant things... Looking back, I am sure that I overdid it. Under normal circumstances I don't think I would have behaved that way and I...

    Five Love Languages Quiz

    I got Quality Time. I guess I could have guessed that: full undivided attention is something really important for me and it is also how I show affection outside romantic relationships. Explain my parents, for example, that when I come back home and I spend a full half-day presenting them with...

    Aspie likes an aspie

    Hi, I wonder how it went in the end! I hope well! I can tell about my recent aspie-aspie relation. When we met, we immediately started getting along very well and trying to spend together as much as possible, talking for hours. I noticed he would always look for me when I was around (even in...

    Aspie (self-diagnosed) - Aspie (suspected) relationship. Looking for advice

    Hi Judge, thanks a lot for you reply and for telling me about your own experience. I guess I get it now (especially regarding the fact that the problem was the questioning and not the question) and I wished I had understood it before. I mean, I will never truly understand it, because I work in...

    Hi everyone

    Hello everyone. I am a 33 years old woman who is a self-diagnosed Aspie and who's currently looking for an official diagnosis (hopefully this will happen soon). Like most self-diagnosis it was reached through reading books on the topic (by Rudy Simone, Tony Attwood), some sparse literature and...
