    Illusion

    Wrong choice of words from me. Not create a "love life", but continue to live totally as if it existed in my mind in the normal sence. In spouse's mind it's totally been realized and actual. And this is a few decades existing. From day one moved in together, joint money, credit cards...

    Blog post compares us to psychopaths

    I certainly hope not. The difference now is all the back and forth information the Internet can provide others and that provides them the opportunity to find the results they want. And in the link you put up shows how things get out of control. I've been in a relationship longer than your...

    Are there any office chairs that aren't junk?

    Steelcase makes the best office furniture, some made in this country and their cheaper chairs in China. They last forever and are expensive, but try to find when a doctor or dentist is redecorating. They always get the best and unload their old stuff and if it is a Steelcase chair or desk...

    Has anyone created an entire love? Life an entire illusion to keep from being tossed out. But kept things going because, there really is no other way.?

    On my God it is full of autism....

    Holding these Journeys together does seems for me to take a lot of thought. Especially when to keep the mouth shut. My sister's advice to me has been repeated to me for years ," just shut the f....k up". Try not to say a word when you are about to say something 'beyond the fringe of the on...

    Newly diagnosed newbie

    Geetings from San Francisco and welcome to the group. Lots and lots here to get you on your way to calm that approaching anger. There is no need for those feelings as you will soon find out that we aspies are possibly saving NT'S from themselves though most times our help and approach is not...

    Where should i begin?

    I agree so much on the "I guess don't "get" the 'kissy huggy' part of people, and we never will. So we have to ACT that we do, and in your case, it is most important for your boy to 'see' happiness in the family. He's probably possesses some of your brain level, so he is not easily...

    What to do in a bar or public places

    It's in the eyes. If his eye contact is a little more than three seconds , he's interested. Being an aspie, it's tricky, but go for it. Nothing too lose but your pride, which is no big deal nowadays.
