    Any houseplant enthusiasts?

    Here's some of my plant babies!

    Any houseplant enthusiasts?

    I love plants of pretty much all types. I have 12 houseplants in my room right now, and a large garden outside. I have had a prayer plant for a long time and I just love it. It moves! I also have a dracaena that I have had since I was in my first apartment 15 years ago, 2 orchids that used to...

    I need some help understanding this

    @Ocarina We never really discussed it, at least not in any depth. I am not sure if he really couldn't, or just wouldn't, talk about it, but the conversation didn't really go anywhere. He asked for "a little understanding in this situation" and that was pretty much it. I wasn't totally satisfied...

    Trying to understand role of identity for an Aspie

    This is a thread I will definitely be paying attention to. My situation isn't totally the same (we're still together), but it's a rough road and I so, so badly want to better understand my aspie SO.

    Sex for an aspie?

    As a (mostly) NT with an aspie partner, for us I find it pretty balanced. He has had a lot more experience in his life (partially because of the way he was raised, partially just because he's older than me), and has taught me a lot when it comes to sexual experiences. We both very much enjoy...

    Do People Think You Are Blaming Them?

    I think that if someone responds angrily to something spoken without anger or malice, then they are probably overreacting. I also find that it is helpful to always phrase or say things in a way that makes the other person feel as though, by doing what you suggest, they are helping you out, or...

    My family is bullying me

    I can't even formulate a response to people such as that. Just know that they are most decidedly in the wrong and have no right whatsoever to treat you and your mom that way. Quite frankly, I believe that cutting ties with such people is usually the way to go. I have recently severed contact...

    Skin/Nail Peeling Stim

    I love worry stones. I have never had a specifically shaped one, I just find a smooth stone that I like the shape of in my hand. I keep them in all of my coat pockets, so that when I need something to fidget with, there's always something there. I used to stick my hands in my pockets to keep...

    @Chance I am really, truly sorry for your situation. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with me very much. You're right, it's not what I want to hear, but I am still glad that you shared. I am very aware of the oil and water thing. My dad is borderline aspie, although he hides it well and...

    Thank you, Thursday. Very much. It's his mom. There is photographic evidence on Facebook for all to see. No, I have had many interactions with her in the past, even just last week. We were physically together for 5 years before this whole miserable long distance thing started. Aren't we all...

    Skin/Nail Peeling Stim

    I do the bit with my forefinger and thumb when I am stressed/nervous/anxious/whatever, and once the skin starts to peel back, I just can't stop picking at it. When it gets bad, I will put band-aids over the areas so that I can't further damage the skin. Sometimes I end up with band-aids on both...

    Ha! That does make sense, and I will keep that in mind when I speak to him, and do it gently. Very gently. I certainly don't want the program to crash. It might be a little tempermental at times, but it's the best program I have found for what I need and want! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now that sounds...

    You guys are absolutely great. I have a lot to consider right now and your insights are all greatly appreciated. When he first told me that he thought he might have Aspergers (he doesn't have an official diagnosis, but I am confident that he would pass the test with flying colors!), it changed...

    I need some help understanding this

    Thanks so much for all of your replies. I really appreciate it. Re-reading my post this morning, I realized that it was a bit more on the emotional side than I would usually express in public, and for that I apologize. Note to self: rambling on and on at 1 am when you are feeling very upset and...
