    Your relationship status?

    I've been single for almost 9 years. I was engaged to my high school sweetheart, but she called things off. Ever since, I've struggled to get past a 2nd date, and it's not from a lack of trying. Hopefully soon I'll find someone. Sent from my iPad using AspiesCentral.com

    Friend's Wedding

    I know the groom knows I have sensitivities with loud noises, but there's no guarantee at a wedding that the DJ, or band would ever play low enough for someone like me to handle the volume. Fortunately I do have ear plugs that unless your right next to me, you won't even notice I have them in...

    Friend's Wedding

    I've lost count how many weddings I've been to, but at least most of them I was a guest, so I wasn't up front for most of them where the ceremony was taking place. I was my Aunt's Ring Bearer, a groomsman when my dad remarried, and a groomsman for my brother in law for both the Dominican, and...

    Friend's Wedding

    Hi everyone, I have a friend who's getting married in a couple months and he just asked me today if I'd be one of his Groomsmen. This is something I've only been asked once before by a friend, and that time I couldn't make it because of distance. I'm not one for being in front of crowds...

    Medication experiences

    I was must put on Klonopin last week due to sleeplessness brought on by anxiety. Fortunately it has not only made me sleep much better, but my mood is the best it's been in a long time, even better than when I was on antidepressants. For a long time I'd just get through my day, and not be happy...

    Are animals and children attracted to you?

    Most animals will come right over to me and let me pet them. A therapy dog for one of the girls at my church comes over, licks me, lets me hug her, and even went belly up for a tummy rub the other night. For the most part, kids love me. I can't even begin to count how many kids when I worked at...

    Hello

    I've been wondering if there's anyone else on here that lives on Long Island. I'm trying to find some friends who are dealing with issues similar to what I'm dealing with. Over the years I've unfortunately lost friends who just couldn't handle the fact that they had an Aspie for a friend, and...

    Sharing a bed (sleep discussion only).

    Other than the trips I went on with school where we needed to share beds, or with family, I've only shared a bed with my ex fiancé. We'd occasionally take naps together, and the New Years Eve right after we got engaged, we stayed at an inn so we could have time to ourselves. It's a lot easier...

    Hello

    Hi everyone, I'm Matt, and I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 13. I'm now 34, and really just within the last few years started opening up with some friends about my diagnosis. For the most part they have been supportive and understanding. Growing up, especially in high school I knew I...
