    AM I A WEIRD NT?

    Everyone is weird in their own way. And since wired is weird spelled wrong everyone is weird since everyone is wired differntly. I hpe that makes sense I can sometimes say things wrong. Which, as a side note, is why I prefer the phone and internet. I am less likely to want to shut down if I...

    What Aspie traits positively enhance NT/AS relationships?

    My aspie NT relationships have always had a sort of priestly empathetic quality to then. IT has drawn NT women to me. I have said that I had the looks of a jock and the courage of a geek. It always confused me. As for the being hypersensitive it seems even the animals I have had as a kid...

    Is it obvious that you are aspergic

    For me it was always obvious. I was fascinated with things more than an NT would be. I also have a visual impermant but that never seemed odd to me. IT was how I was fascinated by symboles and the second hand moving on a watch or clock. So for me it was always obvious. Even when I didn't...

    Are you attracted to Aspies more than NT's?

    I've said in other threads that I've (personaly) found it eaiser to be with an aspie rather than an NT. With each NT I was with I did care for them but I was never quite sure how to read the social cues. I was with her for six years, but that was long distance by phone so I think that it was...

    Should I try to get my Aspie back?

    He may want to be friends to. I have had relationships like this too. I remember being too confused by the social cues so I was not able to be boyfriend-girlfriend but I did mange to be friends at least so I think he may still want to be friends.

    Non aspie in relationship with aspie...

    I myself an aspie and have tried dating NT's. This was before I knew I had asperger's but I was always confused by what to do in a relationship. It wasn't that I didn't care for them; it was that I didn't understand the unspoken social cues. I now know why but hat may also be the case here...

    Do You Feel Like An Alien?

    Undrstanding Our Lack Of Empathy

    What have found intriguing is that it more easy to empathize wit another aspie than with an NT. I have described not being able to empathize with an NT. Like the mime behind the invisible wall. I want to but I can't. Whereas with another aspie I can somehow sidestep that wall and empathize...

    What's Romance Like Between Two Aspies?

    It seems to me that many of the sucessful relation ships described here are between two aspies. That is the case with me and my wife. Interestingly Neither of us realized we were aspies when we were first dating but that to me explains the instant understanding despite the age difference...

    Undrstanding Our Lack Of Empathy

    I don't know if I have empathy or not. I have read many articles and other things that say I do. Then I see other articles and such that says aspies do have empathy. So I am very confused though I do see the point of "Cognitive empathy". After I have had an experienced a something I can then...
