    About me

    Welcome Wednesday. I have been a science fiction fan since my youth in the 50's. I grew up reading Asimov, Heinlein, Herbert, Tolkien, Bradbury and the great magazines, Amazing and Analog. Best wishes for you.

    Hi I'm K.

    Welcome kbird. The vast majority of us on the spectrum have issues with socialization, so you will find us quite understanding about social anxiety. I hope that you find comfort here.

    It all makes sense now...

    Welcome Alysha. You have found a site of like minded and supportive people, almost all of which bear the same burden. Each of us have different traits associated with being on the spectrum, but you undoubtedly will find a lot of commonality and community here.

    Peace While Eating

    I prefer to eat alone and read, ignoring the others at the table. At home my wife does not permit that and I acquiesced to her wishes (demands). Since my diagnosis and my efforts to ameliorate some of my more significant Aspie social deficiencies, I do converse, a little, while we eat. It...

    Do you often misplace things and get frustrated looking for them?

    How about the ever useful, "Where the the last place you had it?"

    Please help

    Hello from the south of the north.

    Workman in my apartment

    AsheSkyler makes a very good point. For a couple of years I owned a handyman business and homeowners that participated in the repairs were never welcome or helpful. The repairman was probably grateful that you adopted a hands-off attitude. Therefore, you did good.
