    AS ex-boyfriend wants to talk

    I was in a 2 year relationship with someone online that involved friendship/online sexual things... it got pretty intense and we fell in love. We knew it was not feasible due to age. So, he wants to remain friends. It is very unbalanced with me doing most of the communication. I told him I...

    Are people on the spectrum capable of lying or manipulating?

    Ok, I did not know this. That's new. I read over in the relationship forums that people on the AS are loyal and honest and typically can't lie. I don't think this is always the case. When I question him about him being a bad person who could possibly manipulate or lie, he becomes enraged. He...

    Are people on the spectrum capable of lying or manipulating?

    He's got many friends, but I think it's because he's just lonely and maybe a bit insecure. We are not in the same state, so I don't think this is going to happen.

    Are people on the spectrum capable of lying or manipulating?

    Really? Dangerous? I never would have thought this. He does get really mad at times and says awful things that really stick, and he's been depressed and attempted to leave this earth a few times, but I never thought of him as dangerous. He's had a few short-term girlfriends and tons of friends...

    Are people on the spectrum capable of lying or manipulating?

    This is very stupid and/or offensive question I am sure, and this is a follow-up to a post I made yesterday (I appreciate all the feedback, by the way), but as I reflect on my lost friendship (online) with a guy on the spectrum (I am an NT), I am wondering if this 2 year situation we had that...

    Complicated friendship with someone on the spectrum - Help!

    It's all fairly moot. I can't be friends with someone who I love and who I felt semi lead me on and on top of that, it was always fairly one-sided. I am already in pain and disabled and now I am grieving over this loss. I told him I could not be friends at this time, if ever. It's simply too...

    Complicated friendship with someone on the spectrum - Help!

    Yes, you're not the only one, you're most welcome both as a fellow human being who needs support, and as a different point of view (the rest of the world's point of view) when you choose to share. We need to know about that point of view, and so few NTs are sufficiently familiar with our...

    Complicated friendship with someone on the spectrum - Help!

    I think if we were JUST friends, I'd not feel like a stop gap, and that is exactly how I feel now. I have been there for him 100% over a period of 2+ years, but I know when he goes back to school, I will be a distant memory. Is this normal for people with AS? Would he even remember me? Hmmm. I...

    Complicated friendship with someone on the spectrum - Help!

    Yes, I know. We are going to discuss it. He is not going to be happy, but he is very matter of fact and never seems to get upset, unless it's anger. I am going to miss him so much. I'm crying just thinking about it.

    Complicated friendship with someone on the spectrum - Help!

    I agree with you. He is the only person I have really ever met in all of my years with AS, so sometimes his coldness can be very hurtful, to be honest. This also makes our friendship strained at times. No, the sad part is that he won't even lose a night's rest whereas I will cry for weeks and...

    Complicated friendship with someone on the spectrum - Help!

    I actually like your answer. I believe we are both mature, but he has made it fairly clear that the age difference is simply too great, and I understand that. And, you are right, it may not be worth it to maintain a friendship as the emotional consequences are simply too great. I asked him if...

    I totally agree. This is going to be hard.
