For me its usualy the case that i want to talk freely, but ppl seem to start polite and then build up rapport till they become best buds and can talk about anything.
I want to skip straight to the best buds stage by talking freely to start with - some ppl respond well to that, and some dont  |

Ill always have obsessions - usualy about things i like. They dont last long if the subject isnt that interesting, and sometimes if somenoe elses interests are - interesting - enough ill have a go at theirs.
Im happy doing that tho - im always doing something new  |

Same - like a dog with a bone.
Just learnt there is medication to control this - probably has helped me lose my current relationship. Wish i found these meds earlier  |

The hard thing is that she will never know me, and probably wont want to, as the people she lives with, will run me into the ground at every chance :( Ive seen this happen with another childs father... |

You'l be surprised to hear that most people wont notice. I have frequently got scars on my arms and not one person noticed, not even my partner.
Now im on my own there is less chance of anyone seeing them at all, but in general when your out and about the general public wont see them. |

| My advice? Find a coping mechanism that doesnt revolve around people too much. My music is mine - if i went deaf, the world would truly be a terrible place to live.

You have to notice the small signs that they are trying to hide. Its not easy - as an Aspie, you get so involved in spe... |

They accept their flaws, and work through them because basically they are tired to searching. Once they work through the problems, they realise that person is the one for them after all.
