    Oh, you too easily shun the room-temperature pies.

    Greatest food on the planet...

    'Lega Tibs' and 'Zil Zil tibs/Wot' or 'Zigny' at an Ethiopian restaurant. While these may appear on a menu in different ways, one describe beef cubes with peppers, onions and a cardamon flavored butter sauce, the others are more stew like strips of beef sauteed in a chili sauce. Whatever you...

    The Figure of Speech That You Dislike The Most

    when dealing with customer service or work situations: "I'm sorry you feel that way" This never comes across as sincere, it never comes across as commiseration, condolence, or regret. It just seems like a polite way of saying "You are soooo wrong I just can't be bothered to understand...

    Tip of the Tongue

    I experience the same thing--that vocal eruption over a long sought after word. At first, it's like I'm looking for something I was just using. Just like looking through all the cupboards for the salt. then I find it in the dining room and its all "Salt! there you are." If it happens over an...

    Family question, need help- is this a reasonable request?

    Marriage should be more "Will you share your life with me?" and less "Will you share my life with me?"

    What do I do?

    I t seems to me that the even division is unfair, I think there's dudes here who never use the laundry, and there may be others who for some reason like a poorly timed quarter technique may have been repeatedly victimized by the machine. I think you are right about separating financially, I've...

    What do I do?

    I live in a rooming house with a bunch of other dudes. We have a coin op laundry. I am the only one who has dealt with the guy who services our laundry machines since the day I moved in 2 and a half years ago. I report any difficulties we are having with the machines to this guy and he...

    Tip of the Tongue

    All the time, but it happens more if i'm in discomfort or near a meltdown. This disconnection adds to my frustrations and can hasten a meltdown or shutdown.

    This was my first post here.

    Thank you all for the warm welcomes. As I learn about my Aspie traits, I've learned that my literalism is far from NT, and constant requests for clarification are off-putting. Thank you for taking the time to indulge me on this topic. I think I get it enough to keep myself in line.

    "Aspergers is not an excuse."

    I asked a skeptic to take the AQ test to see how he did on it, He got an 18/50 and then I showed him my results 40/50 and asked him if he thought he might be able to see that my world and his world are very different places. He asked me about some of the questions, especially the ones that have...

    So, this just happened:

    A friend asked me to think of a time when I was sad. I said sure and grimaced and came up with something from when I was a little boy. He asked me to think of a time when I was really angry, and I asked if he meant mad, pissed, irate, or indignant? and I had to take a moment to sort through...

    Is this a "me" thing, or an ASD thing?

    What I didn't say is what I do with the other 50%. Anything that wasn't a discovery or some lost treasure unearthed from years worth of sediment (laundry, pocket detritus, mail etc) goes into a box that I label to myself with the I'll go through this later tag and then that gets stored. I...

    Is this a "me" thing, or an ASD thing?

    Anyone else find it difficult to clean their space? At work I have different standards of cleanliness and while it sometimes get messy, I can usually keep things in order, but at home it's a disaster. Maybe less than once a year, I'll give 30 straight hours to a full project that rearranges...

    Is this a "me" thing, or an ASD thing?

    I wonder if anyone here has a simple process for determining or describing the difference between pet-peeves, and meltdown triggers.
