Stimming is considered unprofessional by a lot of people, they think it means you aren't interested in what they're saying. That's why I try to reign it in.


Also, depending on what your stim is...let me try to put this politely: people will think you are super weird.

I have some stims that I think are innocent enough, or maybe things I do that I don't notice, but I get very self conscious if I start rocking in public.

In my experience, this is not true at all, especially if you're trying to get a job, or trying not to look creepy.

If you're looking at a person, but not at their face, what are you looking at?
I always feel like that's dangerous territory.

Although it is not considered gender normative, I have certainly known men who wore heels!


Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of gender stereotypes are silly; I just can't imagine that heels would be a good look for me.
Maybe high-heeled boots or something like that? But I don't want to look like I'm self-conscious about my height =)

Who cares if someone thinks you're weird? There's probably something that they do that you'd think was completely weird. Everyone is weird in their own way. Embrace who you are rather than pretend to be someone you are not. If someone has a problem with that, then they obviously aren't someone you'd want to associate with anyways.

Also "If you're looking at a person, but not at their face, what are you looking at?"
Well, I like to look at their nose, I like to look at the environment if I haven't been in it before. For instance, I just had a job interview at a call center that handles customer service calls for DirecTV. On the walls of the interview room were posters for all kinds of shows for all kinds of different packages. Obviously if the person has sound flowing from their mouth, you should try and look them in the eyes, but they wouldn't be able to tell if you were looking just below their eyes, or just above their eyes. If I'm not in an interview, I like to look wherever the hell I want because I can prove to someone that I am actively listening to them without having to look at them. If they find it weird that I don't want to stare deeply into their eyes, I would have to tell them how weird it is for someone to stare deeply into the eyes of a stranger. We barely know each other, slow down there. I'm not out on a date with you! There are other ways to show you are interested in what a person is saying simply by body language. If your body is pointed towards someone, it shows interest, regardless of where your head is pointed. Also, repeatedly answering their questions and communicating with them shows interest, especially if you use the right vocal intonations.

This is a fun topic :)I'm 31, single in Ohio. I have a bachelors degree and am looking for a job (which SUCKS)
Anyways I'm 5'1 250ish. I love to read and quilt and if I'm not careful I get addicted to video games ;) I also like hiking/being outdoors if the weather is nice (for me that means not about 80ish). I also love the rain and thunderstorms.

Back on the market.
Before all, not desperately looking, I don't like traditional dating, I like getting to know someone naturally, maybe working together or being friends, bookclub.. No dating.
My age is already written, I won't display my location for obvious reasons. I like my space and time, and I like to take my time, and the time. I don't cook, I don't like rollercoasters. I'm more into science and movies, music, and my special interest is the x files. Personality type ISTJ leaning toward INTJ. And I like to be on top.

I have been on the market left to rot for about a year. I am heavy built, 270lbs/19st/122.5kg. I have short black hair, brown eyes, slight acne, and bad teeth. I am very compassionate so I care more about others than myself. I have Aspergers, ADD, Depression, and Anxiety. My interests are rather limited, sad to say. They include fishing, writing, movies, games, and camping. I live in King County Washington.

Hey! I'm male, 28 years old and from the south east suburbs of Melbourne. Dark hair, dark eyes. I'm into music, politics, economics. I'm particurlarly interested in musical instruments and love their beautiful sound. As such I'm in the process of starting up my own musical instrument making and repair business. Currently working in cabinet making though. I've only been diagnosed with Asperger's earlier this year, so still learning and would love to meet other people on the spectrum. Would love to hear from some of you! Are there many people here from Australia?

Lol, so confused; there's like three singles lists stickied. But I guess I'll use this one.

-Age: 25
-Gender: Female, though androgynous mentally (and occasionally present that way, too)
-Height: 5'3/1.6m
-Ethnicity: Half French-Canadian, quarter Dutch, quarter Indonesian
-Weight: 143 lbs
-Orientation: Androsexual, that is, I go for guys or transguys. Anyone who identifies male
-Interests: Books above all (fantasy/sci-fi and speculative), artsy movies, action movies, video games with a strong story, non-sexist anime (Akatsuki no Yona ftw)
-Ideas or concepts that I love: Rain. Words. Letters. Magic. True Love. Stars. Planets. Drawing. Psychology. Herbs. Forests. Dream catchers. Clockwork. Silver. Elegance. Stones. Romance. Randomizing. Creating.

Yuuuup, that about sums me up. Oh, and I have Asperger's.

I already asked this in the other Single's List (2.0).

No answer.

If you're fine with, very LDR, which by your past I'm assuming you probably would be, then by all means give it a shot.

As you may already know by now, an Aussie on Wrongplanet is a unicorn.

Would be good to see more Aussie's on here. Any ideas on how to promote it?

I'm another Aussie. I think there are a few lurking around the forums, we just don't post very often.

I'm also from Australia and I certainly used to frequent WP a lot more regularly. I got a bit discouraged by the lack of other Aussies especially in my age group so I only check in every once in a while. There also seems to be a lot of resources in the US and UK that we seem to lack here. Might be a good idea to start a thread and try to keep it going.

I made a new thread called 'Aussie Aspies' under general discussion>getting to know each other. I thought this might be the most relevant area to be as inclusive as possible. Head over and let me know what you think!

It's been a while since I last logged in and had a look around on here. Not much has changed especially on this thread. Do people really expect to get a response if they won't even reveal what sex they are or what continent they're on? Come on people!

I'm single and happy to stay that way in preference to just having someone in my life that I have nothing in common with but would like to think that there is someone out there for me. Looking for a girl who would like to be taken out now and then.

I'm 6ft tall, employed, pass for normal, drive, build computers and I'm into photography.

Anyone? :D
