    Does anyone else feel like they are constantly putting on an act?

    Yes, I feel this way any time I am around people which is exhausting! 90% of communication is nonverbal. This creates so much anxiety for me because I cannot communicate nonverbally using facial expressions or body language. Even if we mess up once, it then feels like our secret is out and...

    Boyfriend with Asperger's almost cheated. Advice please!

    Right, cheating is wrong either way. However, I was trying to give this person a little insight on we process things. Usually, we always take out the "emotional" part of stuff, that is why we are seen as being selfish and not caring. It's different in NT people. They use their emotions while...

    Boyfriend with Asperger's almost cheated. Advice please!

    Here is the link to research on why people with Aspergers lack empty. Neuroscience Sheds Light on Why People with Asperger’s Syndrome Lack Empathy | Psych Central Also you stated that you have to make a conscious effort "to put yourself" in their shoes. This is not the true meaning of empathy...

    Boyfriend with Asperger's almost cheated. Advice please!

    Also, lack of empathy does not equal psychopath. I've done alot of research on aspergers and learned why we cannot read facial expressions. When you are a child, you start mimicking peoples faces, thus learning to then feel what they feel. However, with aspergers we never got to that stage since...

    Boyfriend with Asperger's almost cheated. Advice please!

    No I do not think that was the case if he saw it as bad or not bad. He wanted his needs to be met and since we think logically rather than emotionally, this was a good answer for him. Since (A.)his gf would probably not find out and (B.)he got he wanted. Logically this seems like an okay idea to...

    Boyfriend with Asperger's almost cheated. Advice please!

    Well some people can't feel empathy and he might be one of them. If he can't see how cheating is wrong and how his gf would be devastated by his actions.

    Boyfriend with Asperger's almost cheated. Advice please!

    The thing with having Aspergers is that we only see the world through our eyes and nobody else's. Our feelings and needs come before anybody elses. This is because we are not emotionaly built like other people. We have emotions when something directly effects us, but have a hard time...

    An Aspie Christmas Party- Ho Ho Ho

    Yes, but if there was one. In a hypothetical situation. No need to imagine a "party" in my head lol. It would just be cool to see the turn out of such an experiment.

    An Aspie Christmas Party- Ho Ho Ho

    I think it would be cool if it was ALL aspie people. That way we would actually feel normal. No weird looks, no akwardness. Just people having fun without being judged. Even if you say something "dumb" an aspie would be able to relate and understand. We would all just laugh about it, instead of...

    Need Energy

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. I do believe exercise and getting the right nutrients would be extremely helpful. But getting into that mode is the hard part. The sun setting so early probably has alot to do with it too. Summer seems alot easier to handle.

    Need Energy

    Why am I so tired but not tired at the same time?! I'm too tired to get up and do stuff but not tired enough to go to sleep? Does this ever happen to anyone? And how do you try and get out of it? I'm growing a tollerance to coffee/caffiene.

    NT needing advice

    It might be the New Years thing. I simply hate New Years and every holiday. I just don't get why we are supposed to act different on those days. It's draining and exhausting just thinking about it. Maybe you should let him know that you wouldn't mind doing something low key with him. Such as...

    NT needing advice

    Lol I do the same. I get so sad when November comes around. When everyone is planning what to do for Christmas and New Years, I'm just literally waiting till they are over. When January finally comes around, theres a big sigh of relief and I'm so happy that I made it through.

    Wrong Planet

    It was a very confusing site and did not look helpful at all. It was weird and looked "fake". I could not even figure out how to post or find people or the the actual dating section.
