    How my NT illusion was shattered. Was it ASD or something else?

    Dear tfwo, I am an NT but I have experience with ASD and aspergers thanks to a family friends child I grew up with having autism and my ex being aspergers. As for myself, I consider my self an empathy and personality wise, I am an INFJ (a type of introvert personality type) which means that I...

    If There Was One Thing About Being An Aspie That You Wished NT's Would Understand, What Would It Be?

    I am wondering, do any aspies wish for people to just encourage them in their special interests. I know a few aspies and the common thing I find is that when I encourage them to engage in their interests with me they look at me and want to know why when everyone else has told tem off for doing this.

    my aspie friend won't change

    I think its selfish to want to force someone to change. As people have said here, you can't force someone to change, it has to come from within the person. From what you've said, you are wanting her to change because you believe that is what is best for her. But you are not listening to what she...

    If There Was One Thing About Being An Aspie That You Wished NT's Would Understand, What Would It Be?

    I was actually getting at the concept of black/white/gray lies, because that is what 'sugar coating' in the NT world is all about. To me, doing that seems normal being an NT, I suppose because most other NTs can recognise those kinds of lies as 'helpful'. What you said about considering a lie...

    If There Was One Thing About Being An Aspie That You Wished NT's Would Understand, What Would It Be?

    But what if the blunt, honest truth, although truthful and most often useful, will really hurt the other person's feelings? Like if they are feeling really sad/upset about something? I feel the whole point of NTs 'sugar coating' things is to soften the blow in these kind of situations - then of...

    If There Was One Thing About Being An Aspie That You Wished NT's Would Understand, What Would It Be?

    I am perpetually confused about this one. My aspie bf (I'm NT) is so amazingly honest and I love him for it, but at the same time he can be "too honest" sometimes. I wonder if any aspies can explain to me what they consider lying to be? From my conversations with my bf it seems to be that the NT...

    Anyone knows books like this?

    You could try reading the Arthur Trilogy (it starts with The Seeing Stone). It's not fantasy with fantastical creatures as such, but it is set during the medieval period and is a slightly different fantastical take on the traditional story of Kind Arthur and Merlin.

    NT & AS English language

    I agree with this wholeheartedly. I am an NT and my partner is an aspie. I'm forever being told that I'm making no logical sense but I feel that I am, it often causes a lot of confusion and hurt/arguments. I have started calling what I do illogical logic, because it seems to me that when I talk...

    Understanding the opposite sex

    Sometimes us women get frustrated with ourselves/the situation/our past experiences and we end up bouncing between wanting to be on our own to sort what's going on in our heads out without inflicting it on anyone, and running to someone we trust for support and generally a safe place to be...

    How to flirt without crossing the line

    I think it depends on how receptive the girl is and how willing they are to "go with the flow" for most of the time. My partner has no clue how to flirt and the one time he tried I was so confused because he'd actually been flirting 'correctly' for months beforehand and didn't realise, so we had...

    Major Anxiety & Depression

    Hi Robby I am so upset to hear how you are being affected atm. By way of introduction, I am a psychologist by trade, but really it's only my profession because it lets me care and help people who are having a hard time. I think it's fantastic that you saw a doctor and made some appointments to...

    My aspie friend told me he wants to date me but said he wont

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums here and mainly joined because I am hoping that some of you might be able to give me either some insight into what's the logic with my aspie friend or some advice on how to go with this situation that has arisen. As a bit of background, I'm an NT (25yo) and my...
