| Your reaction is a bit beyond how a neurotypic would react to moving into a new flat. Not that far beyond that we could not understand your reaction, in particular the finger-shaking and heartbeating after you heard that you couldnt move in the day you had thought seems a pretty normal reaction for ... |

| Voc Rehab is a good place to start, main thing is to try to get a counselor that you like and feel is sympathetic towards your issues if possible. It might be easier to find a sympathetic employer than to find a sympathetic counselor. But it is worth a try ... I guess voc rehab can be quite annoyin... |

| I feel also often devestated, because people I care about (or used to care about more) dont react enough to the fact that I have lost the custody of my child to my psychopathic ex in a very obviously crazy process. It is as if they just dismissed it as irrelevant or keep being puzzled instead of tru... |

| By: Loren J. Samons II (these paragraphs by her were printed by Time Magazine): You can’t have democracy without demagogues. Democracies breed demagogues. This has been true since the beginning. Demagoguery emerged in Athens concurrently with the rise of democracy. One might argue that the Greek “t... |

| One of the things that keeps coming back to me is an argument I got in a week or so ago. It was on Facebook, and somehow the argument became about rape. What seemed like everyone in the comments was against me, and I kept being told "Rape isn't always sexual." I said, yeah, it was. They s... |

| Sorry, imagining scenarios, and in detail, plus discussing them, is too much of an Asperger game for me. (Sinclair Lewis might very well have been on the spectrum, too, btw). The only interesting point of your scenario for me was that it reminded me that there are many gun owners in the US, and that... |

| Noise is probably my biggest trigger for meltdowns. This morning I went for a quiet walk through the fields, all of a sudden I've got two dogs barking their heads off at me with an irresponsible owner who had no control over them whatsoever. They were only small dogs, but she was screaming at them ... |

| I’m glad that a few people can relate to how I feel, even if not experiencing it quite so intensely as I do at times. ... I do think this maybe ties into Asperger’s, though. But I don’t know. I’d love to hear from more people because this is a hard thing to really discuss with anyone else… It defin... |

Why should I? To make it worse? So that you can respond with a more defeatist diatribe?
Take it like it is.   |

| At least you can cry. My meds make it impossible. I want to cry, and all I get is a bottomless pit of sorrow I cant crawl out of. Combined with a COMPLETELY and UTTERLY lack of willingness to take my own life, I am left with a blind hope for happiness that will never come. That lack of emotion othe... |
