    SIBLING ISSUES - DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR SIBLING??

    I get along well with them. When I was young. Not so much. They've met me in the middle. I still have to clear things up occasionally and it's fine. What frustrates me is that no matter how many times I give them my framework - being blunt not having subtle digs or insinuations, I still have to...

    Rust Cohle doesn't seem to have aspergers, but I can't help but relate

    Any true detective fans out there?

    Confused between what is thought, said, meant to say

    Yes. All the time.

    I come off as threatening in school. What should I do?

    Bingo. You nailed it. Escalating is always to your detriment. It isn't fair but that's the reality. Life isn't fair but that isn't exclusive to people with aspergers. I still go through this with my mother but she's effin crazy. Other people, who cares? If they're behaving like this, and...

    I come off as threatening in school. What should I do?

    I don't know, but standing in front of people you may be ashamed to is helpful. You have to have that thick skin. Secondly, race bullies are slime and you don't run from them and you stand for what you believe in. Transferring gives them the satisfaction. The way I cope and having spent this...

    Hello

    Yeah, that too. Lol. Everyone here is so considerate. Maybe that is just me being a jerk and has nothing to do with social shortcomings. lol.

    Hello

    When I think of myself, the last thing I think of is that I'm white. Before that it is having aspergers. Though I cannot deny it shapes who I am. I feel like I'm a step ahead of most people. That isn't a great thing. I love that I see it my way, a superior way of seeing the world, but I cannot...

    Has anyone else gone through these "life cycles"

    What is NT behavior?

    Has anyone else gone through these "life cycles"

    I'm not succeeding with my mother. She gives me no breaks. Though it isn't her intention. I'm mostly the fake me around her.

    Has anyone else gone through these "life cycles"

    1. Childhood - trying to fit in, and not. I still had friends, but I was always the crazy one (in an endearing way, but I could never relate and I did have people who just flat out thought I was annoying...**** even my friends thought that. 2. Young adult - genuinely not giving two ***** about...

    I come off as threatening in school. What should I do?

    drop the anger. If someone threatens you and you feel threatened, you need to tell someone ASAP. At least to have it on record. Don't try and scare people. You're just increasing the risk of a confrontation and your making it difficult. You always have a right to defend yourself but not from and...

    I come off as threatening in school. What should I do?

    Racism is one of my obsessions. For now, just stay away from it. I know it isn't easy. Just do it. I lost a friend recently because people attach stigmas to issues and let their emotions dictate. Someone can call you a racist and people who throw that word out are not interested in rational...

    I come off as threatening in school. What should I do?

    If I could go back and talk to myself at 17 I would tell myself to stop trying to be them. Be yourself, be proud. This lead me to self confidence (perhaps too much) and people respond to that. Be self deprecating. When you say something awkward, acknowledge it and be able to laugh at yourself...

    I don't really know where to start

    Thanks for the kind responses. I look forward to spending a lot of time on this site. I just want to apologize beforehand if I say anything that offends anyone. Please, I'm not being an asshole. And it is weird saying this because I'm on a site full of people who have had that exact same...
