    How to stay motivated?

    :cool: Cool, man. Are you just hoping to meet someone online, DCA? I went to a neurodiverse/aspie meetup in Manc recently, felt quite comfortable and was a small group. I've set up my own meetup now actually; eating out with others who own dogs in doggie friendly places in Manc. It's filling up...

    Star Wars, natch! Haven't you seen my tattoo!? :D

    How to stay motivated?

    I'll marry you, DCA. :p I don't know, if you get an answer do you think you can share it!? I'm 47. Still no closer. I have thrown in the towel now though and bought a dog instead.

    Aspies are just same as everyone?

    The first really crass thing that I've read on here. I used to be a bricklayer. I don't like kids. Does that cast your aspersions wide open!? This seems a bit 'troll' like to me, post wise.

    Need some help

    I'm so sorry to hear that things have ended. It was me who said that I'd read that Aspies tend to catastrophise - in other words, think and believe the worst - but it would appear that your instincts were correct. I really feel for you, having recently had something similar. :( I've always...

    Inappropriate Aspie statements vs Plain old Rude

    Me too. I remember telling my dentist once that I hated her rubber gloves in my mouth because they "smell and taste like condoms" :eek::oops: I thought she would find it funny for some reason, but then I realised how incredibly crass I'd been and was very embarrassed and uncomfortable at the...

    My story.

    Thank you Bella. It's not been quite a month yet and I'm still in shock I think, tbh. I range from being upset for a lot of the time and obsessing, to wondering what hell kind of person that claims to be decent signs up for a 12 mth contract and disappears within 48 hours, only 3 mths in?? Where...

    The Struggle of No Friends/Relationship....

    I read recently that on the Spectrum, we tend to catastrophise in relationships, like it's all going to go wrong. I know that I've done this; where I think it's all good or all bad and there's no inbetween.

    The Struggle of No Friends/Relationship....

    I completely agree with this entire post. I 'm shocked by this behaviour and see it as completely conniving and manipulative. I've witnessed many women over the years seemingly dislike their partners intensely, yet stick around to enjoy the material benefits of the relationship. I just don't...

    My story.

    Same for me. I used to say that I feel like a man trapped in a womans body. I can relate better to men as they are logical, and I find it extremely difficult to relate to women and I know they pick up on that. I love sci-fi and star wars/Trek and used to often get the p!ss taken out of me by...

    The Struggle of No Friends/Relationship....

    I will miss being in a relationship. Having someone to do things with and share experiences. I had a lot in common with my ex, but there just wasn't a 'connection' on his part. It was excruciating and if I ever have another relationship, I would wish for something like I had but to feel loved...

    My story.

    Thank you, JFK. I still don't know what to make of it all. I've been reading these forums and I know that I have aspie traits - I've asked for an assessment, but it can't happen until later in the year. I've done some online tests too and I've scored quite highly on the spectrum. I'm confused...

    My story.

    Thank you for your sympathy; I truly appreciate it. I think you're probably right on that. Thank you, I did check this out and unfortunately, because there's no separate agreement in place, the statute law applies which is joint and several liability - in other words, it all falls to me. They...
