    things you find funny that NT's don't?

    Aspie Boyfriend

    I agree that trust and logic are key factors during a conflict with an Aspie. I've noticed this. Emotions and assigning blame are often best put on hold while trying to resolve an issue because they can cause more confusion. As I've said previously, though, I'm not personally closely involved...

    Honestly ready to give up

    As one who is part of the "older generation" and who has had a multitude of relationships, I can tell you that when it comes to love and attraction there is often no obvious rhyme or reason. I have seen the most unlikely people fall for each other. Looking back over my own life, I can say that...
