    Can't say what l truly feel........(tears, crying)

    I can't say my true feelings, because of l don't know why. l get overwhelmed with emotions, then finally l realise why l reacted, then l have to do damage control with people l really care about.

    Empathy and ASD

    Whether or not alexithymia is part of an individual's autism package, I frequently see it stated that one of the many autism traits is "Difficulty understanding others' feelings." I puzzle over this and what it means. I have difficulty reading others' feelings but I can understand them if they...

    He thinks I was trying to hurt him...

    So I’m a NT and my HFA guy has been frustrating me lately. Recently, he’s gone through a bit of a regression emotionally. The other night, I went to CVS and picked up some cough medicine for him (upon request) at midnight…and he fell asleep before I got back with the stuff and had me waiting...

    Obtaining greater intimacy in our relationships

    I think this article has some good points. I disagree with them regarding their fidelity beliefs, but other than that I found it helpful. Does anyone else have anything to add about intimacy? I want to focus on being closer to others. I am not in a relationship and probably won’t be this late in...

    Is it Normal That I Make Friends With Girls Easier Than I do Other Guys?

    For some reason, and I don't know why, I make friends with girls in my age range 14-18, than I do with guys. I have only 6 male friends, 2 of which talked to my older brother a lot before he started to become busier with school and getting his own apartment, and 1 of which I have been best...

    AS ex-boyfriend wants to talk

    Follow-up to this thread thanks especially to @Judge, @Tom, @MrSpock, and @AloneNotLonely for their responses. My ex-boyfriend and I last spoke in April.

    Hello! My boyfriend, who I have been on and off with for two years, broke up with me last night. Or well, he broke up with me because he could tell I wasn't happy with him.

    Hey guys! :) So, I have been dating my boyfriend, he’s 21 and so am I, on and off for two years now. He’s always been a little bit more quiet and hard to reach, and we had mutual friends and I fell in love with his humor and intelligence. We have had our ups and downs, mostly because I have...

    Younger male partners

    All the boyfriends that I’ve had (and ex husband), have been younger than me (six months, a year, two years, three years, three years). I’m curious to know if there are other female aspies like me. I used to think that it was because I looked younger, but maybe I’m emotionally younger too (an...

    Dating advice...

    I've been dating my 20 year old aspie bf for almost 4 months (i'm 23 but not on the spectrum). I can definitely say he is the most genuine, loving, honest, and patient man I have ever been with. Our relationship is very mature (communication-wise), and I honestly dont think I could've found...

    Friendships - usual insecurities? Looking for some insight.

    Hello everyone! Ever since I discovered I might be aspie I've been really pondering on my past social relationships. It's always been tricky - as a child I had a few play friends, but usually I would play by myself and didn't get along easily with more commanding girls. In middle school, I had a...

    Friends in primary school

    When you were first starting school, did you choose people you wanted to be friends with, or attempt to be, that met certain criteria? For instance, I would only seek out those who had been to my home, or knew our family. I also seemed to be drawn to those who appeared to be friendless. It was...

    Insecure and a bit paranoid about SO when anxious?

    Hello! I've been in a relationship for almost 5 years with a very sensitive and special person, who's suffering their own deal of mental issues and accepts me for who I am. However, our relationship has been through a lot of hardships and we've developed some not-too-great dynamics. Mostly...

    Disassociation of mind from body.

    23 year old and Asperger... Ok so I am really into reading and when I was 12 I came across historical romance that had, not explicit but detailed sex scenes. So those types of books became one of my main reading categories changing from historical to more BDSM as I got older. Now, fast forward...

    Grown children

    My grandson, was just diagnosed with aspergers. I really knew nothing about it until recently. With all the research I've done on this topic lately, I now can say almost without a doubt, his mother is autistic/aspie. I had no idea back then, it was 30+ years ago. I've also seen a lot of the same...
