    Socially Awkward Experiences...

    I wonder if I will ever accept that I have Asperger. I hate that I can't get any words out from my mouth in groups. It's so difficult and all I want is to be like the others.. Yes social.

    Theory of mind and ASD/NT relationships

    I was talking with a friend of mine and had an epiphany of sorts. Would like your feedback. I recently broached the maybe-you-have-Asperger's subject with my bf. We have had some relationship issues I felt were influenced by his ASD-like thinking. He is almost 50 years old and says no one has...
