    Inability to Change

    Oh yes! You absolutely got my meaning :). I agree with your insights too and the connection to meditation etc. I think the fact you are aware of all this is a huuuuge bonus. I read something that also said it's in human nature to dislike change so it's good to recognise that for the majority a...

    Trouble

    Wow this really shocked me. The part of being made to feel dependant on him really niggles me. Toh make someone believe they could not cope with life without you is just so so manipulative. Like someone said people who do that actually need you more than you need them. They couldn't cope without...

    I'd never heard of the song before! I didn't expect it to sound the way it did. I love the DC comic connection as well. Awesome.

    Upsetting Words

    This reminded of the song Normal Person by Arcade Fire! I love it so much Do you like rock and roll music? 'Cause I don't know if I do Is anything as strange as a normal person? Is anyone as cruel as a normal person? Waiting after school for you They want to know if you If you're normal too...

    Inability to Change

    Just suddenly had an idea. How about getting someone who acts as your "accountability". I did this when I tried to get into exercising and being consistent. I'd text this one friend. She need not reply but just texting her I knew I had to now go through with it cos I'd be embarrassed if I had to...

    Inability to Change

    I find this quite interesting on a philosophical level. I'm sorry if I'm not going to be helpful. The idea that ability to change will make you happy is interesting to me. Also ideas such as "life is going nowhere without change" , " if you're not changing you're not progressing". Not saying...

    Inability to Change

    Yes!! I'm one of those people esp in this day of constant change, a lot of people talk about anxiety. I think it comes from that. I also think we're in for interesting times ahead with a generation that is growing not used to security and who are multi taskers. I especially long for 90s. I wish...

    Upsetting Words

    My opinion is not particularly Aspie related but this reminded me of the word female. Because it's sometimes used by some men when they want to belittle women, there's been a movement by some to stop the use of it when referring to women. The word feminist is also becoming an "eyebrow raising"...

    That is awesome! Congratulations. I hope you have a fantastic time!! My husband's current job is similar in that at the end of the year they get gift cards etc based on attendance etc. He's not happy there because the job is very routine and boring. He's very good at working with his hands and...

    Light bulb moment. NT married to an undiagnosed Aspie

    Thank you so much for your reply! I find it interesting and insightful. I actually did a personality test when we started going out. I can't remember if he did too. I don't remember the results. What led me to the tests was fear at the time. I couldn't figure out if we really were suited because...

    Light bulb moment. NT married to an undiagnosed Aspie

    Your family sounds very lovely. Made me smile reading about it. I'm struck by how aspies on this forum are so self aware. Do you communicate like this to your wife? My husband treats any talk of self reflection with casual bemusement and quickly moves on or ignores it totally. I'm not...

    Light bulb moment. NT married to an undiagnosed Aspie

    That's an interesting observation. I've also wondered sometimes about kids or men who labelled "mommies boys". I was thinking maybe some of them are on the spectrum and the mother just learns to "compromise/give in" because initially maybe they're not aware. Then the child goes undiagnosed. Of...
