    Insight for dating an Aspie.

    I'm not sure if you mean the "Good morning" "How was your day" "Good night" are good or not, I have been sending her those kinds of messages, but if they are overwhelming her and putting pressure on her I'll stop.

    Does that mean that maybe you mean to do something and keep it at the forefront of your mind and then pouf... when you next get to it a few days have gone by and you're like 'how did that happen'?

    Have you ever built your own PC?

    I like upgrading my desktop every now and then when I have the spare cash, it's one of the most expensive processes, especially if you plan to build a gaming pc. Because of the costly nature of having a gaming pc that can keep up with the demands of technology, I use consoles for gaming and my...

    How to stay motivated?

    I agree, I didn't believe in 'the spark' until I experienced it. I believed it was all a romantic fantasy that people liked to project on themselves to make a moment more magical than it was, but then it happened to me and it kinda blew my mind.

    I get how being too clingy can be stressful, especially when you're so used to your own routine and to having a specific way of doing things. It would definitely be very difficult for me to hear that she lost interest, but if it is indeed what has happened what can anyone do but accept it...

    Dating as Aspie.

    I guess it depends on what your perception of 'just starting off is'? We've been interacting for almost a year now, but we decided to be a couple for just over half a year ago. I know she is truly very busy, and when we talked about the spoon theory she told me it was more like a jar that is...

    I indeed appreciate the honesty, and it might be naive, but I want to give this relationship a chance to work. I started out not knowing anything at all about autism except what is shown in mainstream television which means I knew the usual trite stereotypes linked to autism. I am aware I know...

    Dating as Aspie.

    Is avoidance a usual coping mechanism? I’ve noticed she avoids answering even direct questions sometimes and I assume it’s because the topic makes her uncomfortable, but I’m just not sure. I’ve asked her directly about it, but alas she sidestepped and never gave me an answer, I took the absence...

    How to stay motivated?

    The active pursuit of a relationship can be daunting to anyone. If you approach someone with the idea that they could potentially be someone you could date, it’s easy to focus on yourself and try to find out if they’re a good match as opposed to being interested in the person you have in front...

    Hello, I’m NT and I’m in a Long Distance Relationship (LDR) with an aspie and I would like to understand her better. From the beginning I was aware I had very little insight to how she thinks, and because it’s a LDR communication becomes essential to building the relationship. I often find...
