    I seem to develop feelings for aspie girls and only aspie girls

    We also tend to be oblivious. Talk to your girl!

    Telephone

    I rarely answer my phone. I let them leave a message and text them back.

    Speaking Caveman

    I've always been so much more eloquent in writing. I can speak, in fact sometimes I talk a lot. But, my spoken word is often broken and chaotic. Sometimes I can't grasp common words, or it comes out in gibberish. Examples, one day I was asking my boss how large she wanted me to make a specific...

    Raspberry Pi and or Python

    I'm currently coteaching a Raspberry Pi class. My husband talked me into it. I'm kind of learning as I go along. Probably not ideal... It's fun, though. It also gives me something to do other than attempting to brick my phone.

    New version of Cosmos starts 3/9/2014

    I'm bummed that it's up against TWD. I bought a month of Hulu so I can watch until TWD's season is over.

    Asperger's and public speaking

    I present around the state on a regular basis, and I'm currently coteaching a class at the community college. I hate it. Every eye is like a death ray pointed in my direction.

    The Marriage Question

    I suspect that my husband is AS, too. He feels no need to be diagnosed, though. We simultaneously get each other better than anybody and drive each other crazy. I can't imagine myself with anyone else, except maybe Benedict Cumberbatch.

    Facebook, what do you use it for? Facebook friends?

    I really enjoy Facebook. I have a mix of people I know in real life, friends from dog forums, and friends from technology forums. Facebook has brought me closer to some people. We use the groups function mostly. It's like it was made for me. I can have friends without actually having to speak to...

    Etiquette, manners, etc

    The other day I held the door for a man, then I thanked him. For walking through, I guess.

    Hoping to get some insight

    I have a bad habit of losing track of my friends when I'm going through one of my introverted periods. It doesn't even occur to me to contact them or think that they feel I've abandoned them. Unfortunately anybody who wants to be my friend is going to need to put in more work than most :/

    Building Social Tolerance

    I've spent my entire life wondering why people have such a difficult time grasping concepts that come to me so naturally. Are they dense? Do they not care? Completely baffled me. It wasn't until about a year ago that I realized that I might be a bit smarter than the average bear, and it was...

    Aspergers and your Relationship

    Same here. I'm the only one with a diagnosis, but I suspect my husband and daughter are, too. The rest of the world might find us a bit odd, but we are happy being us.
