What happened to the good ol' days when arranged marriages were practiced? I wouldn't want to go for that. I have just spent eleven years being married to the WRONG man. Much better to be single than to constantly be stuck suffering the consequences of someone else's idiotic, irresponsible, and sel...

Just be yourself and if you are really that desperate then you can always meet online, think that might work better for most people. That's the way I have to do it, for darn sure. The best way for me to speak is with a keyboard in front of me so that I can spend as much time as I need to trying to ...

How much do you guys 'put yourselves out there' and persue relationships with girls that interest you? I know, it can be very difficult and scary, and you may have to face rejection. But the more you're brave and bold and ask for what you really want, the better your chances are. I can say this wit...

Okay, but can we all agree that it was sucky and my dad is an idiot? It was sucky and your dad is an idiot! It was very kind and thoughtful of you to give your dad the DVDs for Christmas. I think that it highly sucks when anyone places expectations of Christmas gifts on other people. Giving should ...

I'm not quite sure what would sell enough to make a living though.... That's one of the challenges, but you can start experimenting and gaining experience with this in your spare time whether or not you're working a regular job. I started out selling online when I was pregnant with my son and worki...

Even if I could get on disability for a year or so and maybe get some kind of retraining to get a job where I didn't have to deal with people. If there is such a thing. I sell online, and that could be one option for other Aspies. I do have to deal with people, but not for every transaction, and on...

I TOTALLY root for the underdog in many different situations. I didn't even realize how many until reading this thread. I also campaigned for Nader in 2000 and voted for him in 2 or 3 elections. I have often tried to show a lot of extra kindness to people in work or social situations that most other...

I like to work for my money 777. Ditto. I have learned how to earn good money despite being disabled and caring for a special needs child with no help. I don't want to be a burden on anyone else. The most serious problem with this way of life is that when it comes to affording proper health care, I...

Solutions for adults with asperger syndrome : maximising the benefits, minimizing the drawbacks to achieve success by Juanita P Lovett Didn't like this one very much. Seemed like it was more for helping NT spouses and family members 'deal' with their terrible aspie burdens. \ Oh good grief - we don...

Hope is leaving your mind open to positive possibilities. It should never lead to disappointment. Expectations create disappointment.

We went shopping today - at Old Navy (I think we should get some kind of "kick-back" for this, it's like a commercial for them)....We let Z try on tops - they definately are soft and have that broken-in feeling. No tags! He said they felt really nice, but, that could all change the next time he wea...

My son and I are both very uncomfortable in most clothing. Lately I've found some very soft cotton Old Navy shirts that work well for both of us. Soft, natural fabrics are usually best. Cotton, lyocell/Tencel, and there is even clothing made from bamboo fiber. I absolutely love to wear bamboo socks,...
