    This one likes that one who likes another (confused yet?)

    I recently realized that I have feelings for one of my friends. We both have Asperger?s and have a great deal of common ground ranging from our interests to our values, several of which are very rare. I?m a writer by hobby and so is he, so we often share our work. I?ve written more in the...

    Video games you're playing?

    I'm replaying Azure Dreams, which is pretty much Pokemon for 90's hipsters. :wink:

    Why do you befriend people?

    I hardly ever befriend people online, though I have picked up a few close friends from various forums over the years. They were people I found myself posting in response to frequently and laughing with, so our personalities are highly compatible and we have lots to talk about. The more we talked...

    Do You Ever Wonder...

    I've thought about that, yeah. I definitely would have liked to grow up neurotypical because I that feel my core interests and desires in life would have been more accessible to me, but now that I'm older it's a matter of making the best out of what I have. I don't know how much it would change...

    feelings of disconnect

    This is something I can relate to. I wish I had something useful to say about your marriage, but I'm probably the worst possible person to take advice from concerning relationships. I dated when I was younger, but I've never experienced love as other people seem to experience it. I was always...

    men are now obsolete (yes i'm male)

    I know plenty of men who excel at things other than physical strength, so I'm not sure that's relevant. I see both men and women who take a long time to grow up, anyway. Some of it is innocent things that are no longer considered purely for children like animated movies or videogames, and some...

    Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?

    Re: Worst Film Ever Made Goes To... I typically enjoy bad movies for their comedic value, but I watched a Tyler Perry film once and it was a completely different ballpark. That man has no idea what he's trying to write and seems to just throw whatever comes into his head onto paper in the hopes...

    Men & Women Please Answer...

    1. Male or Female? Female 2. Do you or have you had trouble keeping a relationship with the opposite sex? I've had little trouble keeping them once they take off, but there's always been dissatisfaction on both ends. In the past I've felt like I'd taken on the burden of caring for...

    Dating your friends

    I don't think there's anything wrong with dating friends, but unless it's highly likely to work out it's probably better to date acquaintances. After a relationship ends there might be baggage in the friendship that wasn't there before, and if you go back to being friends there's going to be a...

    +1 poster

    Hello, I was diagnosed with Asperger's as a child and am reaching out to communities a little bit more. I'm currently in college (IT), spend most of my free time on creative writing projects or the Internet, and am glad to meet you all.
