| Yes. Fear of finding myself in the same crap years down the line. Fear of not achieving my goals. Fear of others (NT's) sabotaging my goals. I could go on! |

You are forced to use Fiat with all of its inflation and charges, unless you use bartering or some other means of trade. |

| This is me. I cant find things or remember things. I am distracted or focused on one thing at a time. I cant multitask. It is getting worse. |

| I've seen the first 3 and it is great so far particularly when an autism professional arrives at the house to do an assessment and points out the bickering NT families dysfunctional behaviour patterns that are confusing for Joe (just as they are for any Aspie)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2f6_O... |

| Basically, I find myself completely open, socially, when drunk. As I'm sure that many of you do. However, I don't feel it's because of a lack of inhibition, I personally feel that because I become desensitized to the world, I can actually interact with it (and people). Agree/disagree/don't care?

| Personally, I find it affects me to behave in a bad way to the extent it has been involved in bad decision making and the loss of relationships. I react to it in the same way as some do to food additives. ie weird behaviour. It takes several days to leave my system. Therefore, a couple of beers ever... |

| I went through a phase of teenage drinking when I was 14-15 and I can say that it definitely affects me different than most people. Like a couple of other people have said, I became short of breath. I'm not sure why this happened. Once the ambulance was called because apparently my breathing became... |

| Maybe decide what interests you have that you would like to discuss with others and then join up a Meetup group that has the same interests. Don't forget they may not be Aspies so be prepared imo. Don't forget u need the energy to do this and perhaps u don't have it (like me). I mix with NT's and th... |

| I think we can be seen and used as the village idiot if we put ourselves in that position with NT's. Even if we have an understanding NT partner, their friends may not share the same attitude and will perhaps see an idiot to be disrespected because we cant play their game very well, especially over ... |

| All lives are wasted. We're just here spinning on a dot in space, eating and pooping and growing old. Perhaps some lives are well wasted, and some others poorly wasted? :) Nice insight. The last 12 years have been wasted for me unless what I have slowly learned in that time can bring fruition. I li... |
