    Psychotherapist from Aspie spectrum family

    Thanks so much for joining our forum. I hope that you will be able to help some of us who are seeking therapy. One thing I would like to know is how you learn how to help people when you are learning how to be a clinical therapist. Are you usually told about Aspergers or do most therapists go...

    What are your feelings about Valentine's Day?

    I'd like to contact her again, mostly because I want to know what it was I did or said that caused her to want nothing more to do with me. Not sure how to do that though. She told me she never wanted to hear from me again, this is what hurts the most. It's strange, because I had always...

    What are your feelings about Valentine's Day?

    Is there a difference between you and your Asperger's/ASD?

    I can't imagine not having AS, in fact until about two years ago when I first heard about it I thought that everybody had it. Now I know that is not true, and that explains a lot. The only thing I can say is that the world is a very confusing place that does not make sense to me, and it is...

    Therapist Do's and Don'ts

    You describe my experience very well, but I was never able to find a therapist who understood me, let alone was able to help me. I saw something like a dozen of them, starting in 1990 and ending in 2006, which is when I gave up on therapy completely after being very bitterly disappointed with...

    People with Aspergers are not alike

    I'm a bit different than most Aspies because I have a higher need for human interaction and I have a wide range of interests instead of a few narrow ones.

    Anyone Here Into The Paranormal?

    The way I see it, there are beliefs that are supported by objective evidience, and there are beliefs that are not. What does the data show? That is what the answer is most likely to be.

    Anyone Here Into The Paranormal?

    I have seen that show several times, but I have never seen them find a ghost. The show gets boring fast.

    Current book(s) you're reading?

    Just started reading "The Zeros" by Randall Lane, which is an inside look at Wall Street from 2000 - 2009.

    Today I Lost a Friend

    If I had been your friend, that is exactly what I would have done. You would have seen noticable improvement. He doesn't sound like he wants you to be a friend, just someone to use.
