    Feeling embarrassed about my problems

    We ALL need a break from social media, streaming services, and the internet in general! Wait…. aren’t I on the internet and a social media type of site right now? Crap!

    Me too. Probably for the same reasons as you.

    Why are we stupid enough to trust people then they hurt us?

    One day you’ll find the right person to trust and it will all make sense. Like staring st one of those 3d Magic Eye pictures. It’s a mess until it all becomes clear. But it certainly helps to have some boundaries.

    Guilt Management

    I tried for decades to fix problems like yours. From the smallest thing to the largest. Some things just can’t be fixed. Imagine all of the things you have learned how to do that help you ‘fit in’ with normal society. Pretending that you have let it go is just one more to learn. It’s a VERY...

    Feeling embarrassed about my problems

    I have wished death on countless people in my life. Mostly because they tried to hurt me and I am no good at fighting back. Sometimes it’s good enough that you stopped yourself before you acted on those urges. Don’t beat yourself up too much. Some people just suck.

    Paid Autism Research Study - NYC IN PERSON

    What about a Zoom meeting? I’m 50 years old and have Asperger’s. I’ve got decades of stories I could tell.

    Newbie requisite first post - I've crashed the struggle bus

    I know it’s cliché but my experience has been that love finds you, not the other way around. And the relationships/marriages that began with a lonely guy on a quest for love, usually end in disaster (mostly financial ruin). Sometimes it takes decades for it to all fall apart, with alimony and...

    Newbie requisite first post - I've crashed the struggle bus

    It’s not co-dependance to want love in your life. And it has nothing to do with washing dishes or doing laundry. These things are chores that need to be done, and running a home successfully involves dividing up household responsibilities based on skills. I wash almost as many dishes as my wife...

    Sneak stims

    I probably have a hundred that I don’t even realize I’m doing. Mainly because I’ve become so good at hiding them and I don’t even see them anymore.

    Springtime, classic cars, and snow...

    I bought it in 1998. It hasn’t changed one bit since I bought it. Same paint, rims, etc. Back then it was just an old beater, but I loved it. Now it’s a classic.

    Arrgh! Why can’t I multi-task?

    My wife sats “How can you be so smart and so stupid!?!” It’s not just you. I do the same exact crap, and it’s frustrating. And it’s way worse when someone is watching (particularly when it’s someone who will judge me for failing at a task…. like my wife). I’m really good at solving problems...

    Springtime, classic cars, and snow...

    I get my fix of classic cars on television. Netflix has a great show: “Rust Bros”. 3 Seasons. In Canada too. The guy has over 400 old cars and he’s bringing them back from the dead. Nice Nova (Or do you call that one a Chevy II?) I have a 65 Ford Falcon. 2 door, hard top, 289, C-4 automatic...

    Newbie requisite first post - I've crashed the struggle bus

    Aspberger’s here. Been depressed on and off for my whole life. I tried several medications too, and they don’t work. Meds are for fixing a problem. I’m not broken so there’s nothing to fix Absolutely everything you said about work, love, depression, and burnout sounds like you were inside my...

    Hiding it with alcohol?

    It’s been pretty easy since around day 5. The main trouble lately has been stress connected to my job and being on disability. It’s just a myriad of open questions that have no answers. Retirement? Lifetime disability? Sell the house? Move out of state? Change careers? Add those to the crap...
