    Open-Ended Questions

    I have and still do struggle with open-ended questions. Some of them I've discovered doesn't really matter and they are just a societal courtesy of some kind, like "How are you?" No matter what, I always answer "Fine. You?" and that's the end of it. I hate the how do you feel questions about...

    Anyone on the spectrum suffer through this too?

    I've always been worse than any of my kids when they were learning. I just need a body bib. I can't eat without looking bad even if I don't wear it. I tip drinks with straws and lids and still get it on me. I don't know why I do it. I know better. It's on my arm/sleeve...in my lap...my hair if...

    Do Aspies Have A Sense of Humor?

    I believe so. It just differs from one to the next. I've found it difficult to watch movies with others because my humor is different to a lot of people. Most comedies I just find stupid. I don't get into social media much. I don't like most of what's on there. I get em, just don't think they're...

    Aspie girls, what guy do you think is attractive?

    Appearance may bear some weight but once I know someone well, I no longer "see" what they look like but their mind and personality combination. I am interested in nerdy males with a creative bent and passion for everything they do. They tend to be determined and strong to others but a softy for...

    Greetings and Salutations

    Hi, Howdy, and Hello to everyone. Back in 2005, one of my sons was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which eventually lead to my seeking a diagnosis myself when I suspected it. I was 35 years old. So now I am an Aspie parent raising Aspie children. Parenting has been a struggle for me as...
