| The problem is, I don't really like the few friends I do have. I can't choose my friends though. Sometimes I wish I could. |

| For those of you who weren't already aware of that. I once opened a Twitter account just to check it out. It turned out to be so bogus that I had to close it after a week. I can see why media outlets and the like use it, but I don't understand the point of individuals using it. You can't meet anybod... |

| I've been away for a month, so excuse me. To answer your question, IncredibleFrog, there's a huge difference between this site and Facebook. I can use WP without swallowing all my pride, or making some @$$hole billionaire richer, or wanting to kick my own ass. And I shouldn't have to use something I... |

| When I first researched Asperger's syndrome, I was struck by the part about engaging in repeated, stereotyped behaviors. I thought about a perennial activity of mine growing up, which was the need to continually be moving without actually doing anything in particular. Sometimes I'd walk in circles a... |

| Been away for a while, thanx for the responses, I'm glad to see there is a support group here. I'll check out meetup. In the meantime, I got started some projects that might enable me to make connections. We'll see. (btw I refuse to use facebook too.. I thought my original post made that clear, but ... |

| I haven't seen much research on this, but my wife was telling me about an article that was trying to link autism with preeclampsia. We had a conversation about this, and it got me wondering. My wife had severe preeclampsia, so my son had to be born 10 weeks early via emergency c-section. He weighed ... |

| telling on a child for a transgression they did not actually make can be used as a form of bullying. Yeah! Like the time in 2nd grade when some new kid grabbed me and started shaking me. I tried to push him away, and when the playground aide came up and said "What's going on?" he immediat... |

| I've come to the conclusion that about 89% of the world's population are jerks and/or chumps. Only 11% (if that) are people you could conceivably be friends with. I don't have a job anymore, but when I did I was always being accused of some s**t or another by people who wanted to get me fired cuz I ... |

| I wasn't too good at making friends as a kid but I persisted, and by the time I was in my early 20s, I had a sizable amount of friends. Things were good for awhile. Then that idiotic Facebook came along, and all my friends started dropping off, one by one. Just because I have the sense not to use th... |

| Yeah, we were considering pulling him out of PE altogether, but he insists he likes PE despite everything. He spends most of his time following and imitating the other kids, which I could see might get on their nerves...but he's just trying to make friends in the only way he knows how. BTW my son's ... |

| Quick follow-up: apparently there was a witness to the PE incident. The IA saw what happened and reported it. His ABA therapist went and observed him in class, and she got a full report. She hasn't told us all the details yet cuz we're waiting for my wife to be available, but I guess there's a few g... |

I've tried teaching myself, but I'm not so good at it ( Deutsch ist sehr schwer zu lernen. ) I'm proud to have a Germanic language as my mother-tongue, and I'd like to get back to my linguistic roots. Can you guys give me tips on speaking German? My biggest problems (be... |

| Yeah, I've never had an instructor or lived in the country. I've had to try teaching myself, and I'm up against a wall with what I can teach myself. Thank you for the correction. |
