    Are There Online Dating Sites For People with Autism/Asperger Syndrome?

    Women get a lot more perverted and disrespectful attention, but not good attention. It's not just undesirable people, but dangerous and gross people. I haven't ever been on an actual dating site, but I've been on a lot of different social networking sites and guys say some really messed up...

    What's the oldest feature film you've seen?

    Interesting discussion. I haven't seen that film, but I just might give it a shot. I like old films because they look so trippy. I have seen some Georges M?li?s films and Nosfuratu. However, I often don't like the music that goes along with the silent films, so sometimes, I just mute it and turn...

    Anyone on facebook?

    I don't really play a lot of games on there, but you can add me if you like to chat and don't mind seeing all of my controversial posts. I post a lot of political stuff and hippy-type stuff, plus I'm a Juggalo, and I post a lot. If you don't find that annoying, I'd love to have an autistic...

    Psychology Today: Is Your Physical Illness A Mental Disorder?

    I despise the separation of mental and physical illness. Illness is illness. Physical illnesses always affect our mental state in some way or another, and mental illnesses are just the result of a problem with the physical brain, which can also cause other physical symptoms. People used to...

    how do you make friends?

    I don't have Skype. The only thing I really use is Facebook. I have some people online to talk to, but it's the IRL friends that I lack. It's pretty easy to "socialize" online, but in person, it is much different. There are even some people that I know IRL and they say they are my friends, but...

    how do you make friends?

    You are very lucky. I went to university for one year and came out with exactly zero friends.

    My son's peculiar issues, HELP!!

    Maybe you should try to change his diet. A lot of aspies have trouble with gluten. I do, but I can't really afford not to eat it....

    aspies and facebook

    Yeah, I don't really have any real friends or family, so the people on my Facebook friends list are mostly strangers who like the same Facebook groups and stuff as me. I get depressed when I try to talk or hang out with the ones who I have met in real life because it doesn't work out the way I'd...

    Why? You think that it is any different for women?

    Struggling to accept being a loner

    The problem is that I keep feeling like I am starting to become part of a group or really become friends with someone and then they just screw me over. It is hard for me to know people's intentions, probably because I am the type who just really wants to give people the benefit of the doubt and...

    Struggling to accept being a loner

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I have been wondering if maybe a reason I am not making friends is because I have to learn to accept not having friends first, like maybe this is a lesson I have to learn in life in order to move forward. It's hard to even really accept the idea, but maybe that's the...

    Struggling to accept being a loner

    I don't know about this. It seems the times when I am relaxed is when I put people off. I often meet people, exchange numbers, sometimes kick it with them once, twice, maybe even a bunch of times, but it never sticks. Either they are not nice people or they end up not liking me for whatever...

    Struggling to accept being a loner

    I'm half okay with it. The strange thing- I really want friends, but I don't know how much I actually enjoy socializing.. maybe in small portions. I go all sorts of places. I don't really know if I will ever meet anyone.

    Struggling to accept being a loner

    I have been talking a lot with my therapist about socializing. We role-played and practiced body language, and he told me to get out there more, etc, but nothing was really working. It's been just the same struggle and my luck hasn't changed in trying these new techniques. I have been coming to...

    how do you make friends?

    I relate. Most of the friends I've had approached me too. I wish I could go back to elementary days when people just asked, "Do you want to be friends?" and that was that. Now, no one is forward. There's all these weird unwritten rules and they don't seem to make any sense. I've been trying to...
