    I fell for an aspie and it hurts

    Hi everyone. I hope someone can provide some helpful advice. I'm neurotypical and 8 months ago I met a man, a very interesting man. He never mentioned being an aspie, and I doubt he even knows he has this condition, but after a few months of trying to explain his behaviour I did my own research...

    Can I trust him?

    Hi guys, NTish (w/adhd) woman here. I recently got into a relationship with a HFA guy. Now, as an NT person, it’s REALLY hard for me to take things at face value, especially when it comes to dating. Things took off FAST between us. It took maybe a couple dates for him to tell me he loved me...

    Christmas Gifts

    I am a very indecisive person, so every Christmas I find myself facing an issue. What do I choose for Christmas? My family requirements are practical things, so I decided to apply that and ask for things that help soothe or something aspie related (who has on my list amounts to fidget toys). Any...

    My boyfriend broke up with me after 4 years, told me he "fell out of love with me"

    What do I do? My boyfriend of 4 years just dropped me like I was nothing to him. I am NT, he is an aspie. We have worked on our relationship continuously, for all this time, and we were doing really well! I gave him his space, I let him feel free, uninhibited. Out of nowhere he came down after...

    Does our focus get interpreted as neediness?

    As some of you know I've spent quite a bit of the last year and a half in a strange relationship/friendship with a woman who I like a lot. I wish it were more than a friendship, and I think that part of her does, too. She doesn't know what she wants a lot of the time, she's admitted as much to...

    Being taken Advantage of, as Aspie/Autie Women

    After responding to a separate post, it got me to thinking... ...it made me realize...that because it often seems easier for us Aspie/Autie women to meet men...it often lends itself to a whole different set of difficulties, such as the fact many NT men seem to sense our (us Aspie/Autie women's)...
