    higher functioning autism and problems with romantic relationships

    Tomorrow is St V,s day. I find romantic relationships almost impossible. I have had 2 romantic relationships in my life. Mary I met in group therapy and it evolved to closeness and lasted a very long time. Faith I met in the pre-internet age when I joined a postal listings group. I was busy...

    Social groups for autistic people

    I find socialising quite difficult. I was displaced from all my friends in a housing crisis and found refuge in a Northern Steel city which is utterly overwhelming. My life companion of over 31 years is in a nursing home far away with no memory of me or recognition of who I am, and I am...

    Morbid Curiosity

    I too have real problems with an insatiable curiosity on the internet. I am obsessed with the paintings of the Belgium surrealist artist, Paul Delvaux. Then sometimes I look at the drawings of the Finnish artist Tom of Finland. Last night after watching a television programme about French art...

    Wow, what a powerful image. Again, it looks ambiguous. Entwined. The gestures, are they affectionate or is she trying to fend him off? Ambiguity is present, even in the best of relationships.

    What is this monster doing? Is this a greedy grasping craving clinging man, causing pain sadistically with a woman?

    Having the heart stolen is a possible effect of falling in love, but the outcomes can be either beneficial or not. It reminds me of Emily Bronte,s novel, "Wuthering Heights". Cathy and Heathcliff have a very powerful relationship, but he can seem cruel at times, and ultimately it seems a beyond...

    O gosh. This could be a sort of man male monster trying to swallow up in his greedy clinging craving impersonal grasp, a woman. Given that I have a friend who has had at least 3 very distressing relationships with men, one who exploited and tricked her, obtained bogus consent and created great...

    I am puzzled by this. Is this affectionate or is it the compressed squeezed heart, or is it deliberately ambiguous? It is very powerful about relationships.

    Is this the social whirled world swallowing us up with noise and crowds and too many words? Tara Gwen.

    Shy new member- Tara Gwen

    I like the Malmo Choir singing Bach,s St Matthew Passion. Very recently I have come to like a recent composition of St Matthew Passion by the Russian composer, Hilarion Alfeyev. Although Bach lived in a world with all male choirs and male clergy, he seems to prioritise women sometimes. The...

    Shy new member- Tara Gwen

    I heard many years ago Pachelbel,s canon played on a pipe organ. I imagined being cherished and accepted, with quiet imagery in my mind. I was in floods of tears, though not noisily, even though I was at a public concert. I do like Rachmaninov,s Vespers, as well as his piano concertos. I suppose...
