I'm currently under investigation for an eventual Asperger (well, thats most formalia), and suddenly have I learned why I:

A) At the same time every year (like an aniversiry) get depressed and so does my daughter
B) Have claustrophobic narrow interests on things, like computers and fishing (computers are logical, fishing is randomized)
C) Can't get rid of my Ex but still loves her, but not enough for me to live with her. But spends 3 hour a day in the phone.
D) Always give good advices to my friends, but can't follow the same advices for MYSELF
E) Problem with having sex with somebody you don't love, even if they are a bombshell. You simply can't because the logic isn't there!
F) Can't be quiet in the most situations you should chewed on your foot instead of telling the truth.
G) Actively is seeked up for work, just because I simply goes into emulation of a professional as easy as I goes on the loo?
H) This is not crazy. Everybody is handicapped one way or another.

Dude, you're not crazy. Nobody here is crazy, I hope (well, with the exception of me and my wonderful and colourful past mental health history :P). I understand what you are saying and it is as clear as crystal to me. I can relate to a couple of those things.

I agree with the last one that you've said. Everybody truly is handicapped in one way, or another. Handicap also doesn't have to be a bad word. I'm Socially Handicapped. I have a friend who's Mentally Handicapped. A lot of NTs are Logically Handicapped.

Gah there so many NTs that I could say are intelligence-handicapped. I think that some of them (in a particular district in London) don't even possess a quantifiable intelligence, especially after a boy tried to show me his "gunshot wound" in the middle of the park. *Runs away*

I share the same sexual dysfunction as you. I am unable to have sex the "animal instinct" way by following lust. I believe humans are supreme to animals because of the ability to love and thus, sex to me is more than an act of procreation or lust.

I fear that if I get interested in sex, I will go too far and start going to S&M nightclubs or something ridiculous like that.

Yep, sex became an obsession for me for a few months, it led down a sordid path of self discovery, it was quite insane but I don't regret it.

Do obsessions just spark randomly?

Hmmn..

For me they're not random at all.

Meaning, obsessed with guitar + mixing music, this developed slowly over a few months intense listening, then became a lifelong focus.

Obsession with sex, seemed to come out of nowhere, but really is because a partner I had was extremely sexual, and after a month with her it kinda became my focus.

I feel like I have a choice involved, meaning if I don't obsess with something it will become a person, or a problem, but I have the choice to throw it into music..

Another good example is maths, I didn't focus at all during school, over the past few weeks knowing I'm going back to study I've began thinking about maths every single day.


I think some obsessions can spark suddenly, but they also vanish just as suddenly.

Those that blossom over time can last a lifetime or months/years.

I guess you just have to cross your fingers that the right one triggers at the right time and stays around for awhile. At the moment I'm obsessed with drawing a huge A2 zombie attack on a city - damn I need to sleep but it is impossible until it is complete!

Point: "god" is a name; it should be "Thank God for these forums", even if you don't believe in God, it's still a name.

Yeah, you hit a point there. Is god something you can touch? You can verbalize a approximation of a god entity in nature, but it doesn't exist more because of that, it's just a pleasant feeling to jump on from time to time helping as a excuse for a excuse to blame things on 8-)

I won't even start this thread here, because I'll be lynched from christians, jews, presbyterians, ultra ortodox and scientologhists as well as people believing in religions older than most of the human "civilizations"...
