No longer active? that's a shame  although they are still scheduled for one a month, but those might be in other places 
Good luck with your graduate studies, in what I assume is Math  |

I saw that actually, its what gave me the idea. But when I looked there meetings were always just the FeminAUTS for Women and Femmes, or an online one.
Looking though, I see more variety now  Maybe I will drop in on a causal hang one when I see it appear next |

| Anybody here from Toronto want to meet up, have a drink (alcohol, coffee, tea, whatever floats your boat) and practice socializing in a safe, non-judgemental environment? Kinda like a meetup for people with trouble dealing with social situations. I have been meaning to start one, but I am too broke ... |

| There are some things that I feel extremely strong about, and I feel like I need to share it. Do not let anybody tell you that you are not capable of something Just because we are different, does not mean that we are somehow inferior to others in society. In fact, it is our difference, our uniquenes... |

| Take it slow and heal. Maybe try passing on your knowledge to others being a teacher in the meantime. I know a guy who got throw out of a moving train and hit a pole, but he is still kicking ass to date. Also, maybe a one-handed raiper style or French foil might be a bit doable after a while of heal... |

| So first thing, it is hard for most people to talk to strangers Second, there is nothing wrong with having autism. Third, in my experience things get better with practice. So your social skills will get better with practice. Fourthly, don't let whst others think of you affect you too much. Yes, it i... |

| It depends on the time and how much sleep he has had. For example: if it is close to when he would have to wake up, say an hour to 2 hours before (depending on how long sex + after-sex-cuddling lasts for you too) then I say go for it. But if it is an hour or 2 after going to be, maybe not. As a guy,... |

| We have all done things that we are ashamed of, but without doing them (and consequently learning from them) would we have the same knowledge and understanding that we currently have. It's easy to feel guilty, it's harder to move on and strive to be better. Also, i suggest developing offline social ... |

| I gotta say, my social skills are not bad, not entirely awesome, but I am to socialize. I go to a social event at least once a week. Think of social skills like a muscle that requires exercise. With continuous exercise it becomes stronger; however, too much at one time can result in hurting yourself... |

| The one thing you should avoid is using the diagnosis as a crutch, I know some people who their diagnosis as an excuse for their behaviour, whether its introverted-ness, Asperger's or a personality disorder. Sure it can help when people you see alot or are close to you know about the diagnosis, like... |
