| So, long story short, Best childhood friend knew of bullying and abuse I suffered in Junior High and some anxiety I had, but not huge specifics. (Like, he didn't know I had suicidal thoughts, though never a concrete plan - say 6, maybe closer to 7 on scale of 1-10. His grandfather had shot himself a... |

| I don't watch awards shows, though i do like to make jokes about them afterward. Anyway, I heard on the ardio this morning about the oscars and Warren Beatty and someone else reading the wrong card for Best Picture, and I immediately thought, "Oh, they're making a joke based on the Miss Univers... |

| Like a few others, I would need a stable partner, at lea for younger ones. I think I could handle an older child, and I actually looked into adopting, but my financial situation would need a lot of help, too. I did pray about it and feel like God has given me one who is in Heaven - I wrote a blog he... |

| Part has to do with who your friends are - I have a few Facebook friends who like my comments but they are long and take longer to read. But, more to what i mean, maybe your Facebook friends just are the kind, like me, who would rather comment than like something. I haven't liked a single post on Fa... |

| I'm a part-time self-employed estate planning attorney. I now realize it was a Godsend that I didn't get hired out of law school. I think it would have been too much in a firm or even office sharing. However, I sometimes have so few clients I seem unemplloyed, which is why I like to do lots of writi... |

| Yes, especially with my stuffed animals, they are ways I find encouragement in my life, deciding what to say in some situations, working out how a conversation went and what happened, even in my faith. Not only will I sometimes imagine one saying, "Talk to God about it," if I am too overwh... |

| I'm 46 but only really realized I had mild Asperger's in my late 30s, a realization I'd been coming to for a few years. I found it harder into the 20s and then it got better as I got in with a group of Singles at my church that were really understanding of my goofiness. Part of what hurt me was that... |

| When you look at how some performers act, you would think that there were quite a few Aspies in the ranks compared to the population as a whole.

| SAdly, losing someone may be what makes him realize his wrongs - it's what helped someone I knew in high school/college to finally improve when we stopped hanging out. He wasn't an Aspie but had other issues I'd tried to help him with. However, one thing you can try is role playing. He may not under... |
