| Two years ago my precious lil "mom" got a stroke. Coma six months. Dropped dead At her funeral. Eulogy made her sound perfect. Like an angel :D What they said was not factually incorrect. But grossly incomplete. Nobody talked about how she had the nerve to ask me "why did you cut you... |

| This may have nothing to do with Autism, but I don't know. My dad died a couple months ago, and the time since has been "wonderful" by comparison to when he was alive. I think I should feel horrible about feeling this way, but I don't...except I do feel conflicted by the lack of compassio... |

| Angelrho you can't just force yourself into an intimate relationship with someone who irritates you. This loudness and shoving Japanese words into the chat inappropriately isn't going to magically go away. I totally understand OP. I've not done online dating, but I've got to know people in real lif... |

| There's always a reason why one ends up in a dating site... 1997 called and wants its outdated ideas about online dating back from you please.

| In addition I'd like to say that a lot of aspies online think that what they have personally researched and conclusions they have drawn are the be all and end all. That irritates me. Life is broader than just our own little bubble. Everyone's circumstances are different. I dislike arrogance that ig... |

| I, honestly, find that "feeling bitter" is one of the worst things one can do. I've seen bitterness destroy people. Yes, the "system" sucks. I've had stuff done to me. And I really didn't have somebody to "talk to" until I was about 13 years old. And really....nobody a... |
