    My Re-Introduction

    Awesome you mentioned 2E. I literally learned about that yesterday thanks to AI and going over my exceptional CAT scores as a child, but not being placed in the GATE program because I struggled with social/behavioral/assignment/attendance issues. Thank you for the resource, it may be very helpful.

    My Re-Introduction

    Just wanted to say hi again. I've not been on here since before Covid, so hi again to the long tenure members, and hi for the first time to newer members. Names Jeff, 41 years old, divorced and now long term dating someone who believes she is also on the spectrum (can almost guarantee she is)...

    What's your love language? How to find out

    My issue with the love languages is that its just not that simple. People aren't 1 size fits all categories. My answers are quite often a very strong "none" or "all/most." But the Neurospicy one above? The ones that apply for me apply EXTREMELY. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 apply to a 10 out of 10 relevancy...

    When is a pet, more?

    I think people think I'm a person hater, anti-social, or making a joke when I mention that. But its true. I also connect with them better. For me in particular its cats. Like a 6th sense, trust and understanding. People do so much more harm.

    Western Astrology Signs

    I have too much experience with Astrology to toss it aside. It's actually proved itself to me in very profound ways. But just sun signs? That's like saying you know what someone is like because they're male or female. lol. Definitely takes a full chart. I'm much along the lines of Carl Jung's...

    Does your brain short-circuit when speaking on the phone?

    Argh. This has always been a problem for me. I can do friends and family if they're someone I'm comfortable with - in fact as much as I hate the phone, I can spend all night on a call with someone I'm super close to - but business type calls have always been highly stressful to me. Unless I...

    Lost web developer (or something)

    Welcome! Of all things to be obsessed with, that is definitely a good one in my book. My problem in life has been TOO MANY obsessions that oscillate. Makes it a lot harder to root myself into something long term. I happen to be getting more and more into coding (and going in the direction of...

    Hijack the Conversation Topic!

    Speaking of calls, when I was a child I once called a carpenter and tried to make a fake order in my best adult voice. I think my chuckling gave it away.

    How to ask an Aspie out?

    Look... Aspie or not, "dialect" or not, if he likes you enough in that way and wants to get involved, he WILL come to you. You can try being more verbally direct about your feelings (as in: more than just "hints") but not actually ask him out. See how he responds. P.S. I don't advise the "we...
