    Gf of 5 years isn't "getting it"

    hey everybody who replied, thank you for all your advice. as for a few month later update, my girlfriend is now on lexapro and i'm not sure if it's that or her counselling, but she has since made a dramatic change for the better. she hasn't flipped out at me in at least a month, and more...

    Sensitive Topic What do you think about those who want to "cure" us?

    amen to all of this. most NT's can't handle the harsh aspie world. it's not even a separate world, it's just reality. NT's are the ones living the fantasy. i for one prefer to be blunt about the harshness of life. why cover it up? gotta take the good with the bad.

    What are your stims?

    i jiggle my leg a lot. it's annoyed people because they think i'm impatient. it doesn't help that sometimes i tap my foot as well. when there's a lot going on in my head and it's a big mess in there and i'm trying to articulate a thought, i tend to rock side to side or forward and back and...

    What are your sensory issues?

    I'm sensitive to a certain smell in the morning air. It's like I can feel the smell, and it evokes such a high spike of emotion that I can't get any other way. I can get a similar spike though when I hear certain melodies in music, but they have to click right in my head. Mostly these occur in...

    Sensitive Topic What do you think about those who want to "cure" us?

    Why cure it? I think autism is evolution. Everyone even remotely far on the spectrum has their brain fine tuned, taking from the usually petty, worthless social aspects of life (I'm not saying being social is completely worthless, but people spend far too much time with it, while we tend to just...

    I am so lonely i dont feel introverted anymore i need people

    One of my fixations was getting a girlfriend. I had it at least since I was 4. Throughout school I was obsessed with the idea of it. It hurt me when they pushed me away because I was being too strong with my feelings. I mistook my fixation for genuine love because I didn't know what love was...

    Can't stand Asperger's has a "high functioning" connotation

    I can't stand how people have put the label on it and view our condition as something that's "high functioning". High functioning implies not a big deal, and that implies that we really don't have much of an issue, and that implies that we just have a few personality quirks just like everyone...

    Gf of 5 years isn't "getting it"

    Wow, this is a lot to take in. Don't think it fell on deaf ears (or blind eyes I guess), but it's not quite that drastic just yet. I don't think it ever will be, but you've given me some serious food for thought so I'm not ruling anything out. I currently am the head of the household on the...

    things you find funny that NT's don't?

    I gotta share this one... Why did the boy drop his ice cream? Because he was hit by a bus. I remember in 2000 I fell back on my computer chair uncontrollably laughing when I first saw the "all your base" video (the one that had a bunch of shopped pictures saying the phrase). My mother or her...

    Gf of 5 years isn't "getting it"

    She's got therapy next monday. I'm looking at the situation, or at least trying to, the same way you are.

    Gf of 5 years isn't "getting it"

    No, you're not wrong at all. I wasn't completely accurate when I said what I did to her, but it was the closest thing at the time to what I wanted to convey. It actually hit me the next morning when the photographer came in with new shots of her. We were both crying our eyes out in joy and my...

    Gf of 5 years isn't "getting it"

    I want to thank you Tarragon and Sass for taking the time to read this nobody's problems. I'm not quite good at saying how much but it means a lot to me.

    Gf of 5 years isn't "getting it"

    Well it's always been something. She's always used some gripe between us and admittedly sometimes they were genuine concerns. But it's always something different, and no matter how many issues I fix so that she doesn't have ammo (By now I'm practically a saint), she always finds something new as...

    Gf of 5 years isn't "getting it"

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the time you took to read. Thanks. I just needed to focus on getting my thoughts out while they are somewhat fluid. Otherwise I forget them.
