| I read up that aspiē females often like too have male friends. Do you think that is a lot easier for female aspies too have male buddys compared too say a man with aspergers who would like too have female friends?

| What it sounds like to me is that you're doing a lot of exercises. I would recommend coming up with a long term project instead. I don't know what languages you know, but come up with a simple program that can be expanded upon over time with new features. If you're having memory issues perhaps that... |
