    Almost 30 and still no person to love

    When I was a young man “on the hunt” so to speak, I usually became anxious and nervous which made those around me nervous also. The solution was to retire from the “hunt,” and just live life. I got a job and went to college at night. Before and after classes everyone sat around and talked...

    I'm fairly dependent on this forum for friends

    Before I knew about my Aspergers, I had no place to go. Now I can flee the crazy NTs and read conversations that are logical and reasonable. It’s like a drink of cool water in a dry and thirsty land. Thank you all.

    Hello everyone

    She called them her best friends. There’s no slaughter in that!

    Getting Baptized Next Week

    I just came across your testimony of baptism in Christ. That is awesome. I pray the Father in heaven will guide you and protect you as you follow Christ. I came to Christ about 40 years ago. He watches over us and rescues us when we need it. He is so loving and kind.

    27 Married 3 Children

    You have a wonderful attitude and a good work ethic. Without your saying so, it’s apparent you have developed good coping skills. My feeling is for you to stick with your current direction and go very cautiously to get help. Make sure the assistance doesn’t damage what you already have. You...

    New aspie physics student from the UK

    Welcome Ted. Quite a while ago, I was a physics major at a University about 200 miles from home. I had no idea that I was an Aspie, but I was affected by it. I misunderstood so many things people said and did that I ended up totally alone among hundreds of students. I had multiple meltdowns...

    SOS My ASD boyfriend won't propose

    So important to have clarity, two way communication, and trust. Marriage is the blending together of two lives’ tendencies and histories. Having children should be the result of having a good relationship, not the cause of having a relationship. Getting to know someone deeply takes a long...

    "You use autism as an excuse."

    A few thoughts from an old guy: I’ve found it counter productive to mention Aspergers, autism, or any related information. If confronted, I will tell, quite truthfully, that I didn’t learn these skills when I was a child. I’ve been trying to catch up ever since. I apologize. Please forgive me...

    How do you think?

    After my first post I began to observe my thinking process more trying to understand it. What you said about images, concepts, associative processes feels like it is similar to or a part of my thinking process. Yes hard to describe, but you did better than I did. I'm finding that I really...

    How do you think?

    Some of my thinking is in imaginary conversations which are repeated until it sounds right, like play acting which is useful for social situations and teaching. Deeper stuff, like science, philosophy, and Christian apologetics's goes into an almost visual nonsymetrical grid wherein some topics...

    Sensory overload first-aid kit

    First instinct is to get out of here! Retail stores on busy shopping days are awful, too much noise, talking, movement, blinking lights, odors, arguments, etc. My brain shuts down and I run for cover. I leave because there is no other way to get myself back to myself. Go away from the scene...

    Things people say to you, & how to respond.

    "Not sure. Why?" Or "That's a good question. Ask me again in a year or two."
