| I am just as bad, especially before making love to my husband. If I do not brush my teeth, use mouthwash, clean myself "down there", put on fresh deodorant (and on and on and on), I cannot even focus on what we're doing. However, mine stems from sensory issues with odor. It is actually the smell of ... |

| You put it so succinctly! I feel the same way, though I've described it as being within a fishbowl where they watch, and poke, but do nothing for me. I feel the same about wishing it would end as well. Depression due to the treatment of others is common with me. I am so sorry you are suffering as we... |

| Ok...sad, yes. But - a touch melodramatic? This seems to be a theme. Why is that? Maybe think about why. A tad cruel, don't you think? He needs support obviously, not criticism or the like. Of course he feels guilty! It's natural. As for you, hon. I am so, so sorry. I honestly, truly know how you f... |

| Lol! Maybe the one needing to do his research is the one who posted this thread. To only pay attention to the liberal or the conservative, to not look at what is done in other countries in the world, and to listen to propaganda shows a lack of ability to think or reason logically for oneself. |

| This is more of a vent so to speak than anything else but... I have been having severe depression issues. I am suicidal, have thought about it a lot (how I would do it, etc). I sought help from my counselor. She blew me off, as has most everyone else. She said I "look" fine and I am not very emotion... |

| I was surprised that no one seemed very understanding. Self injurous behavior is normal in autism and aspergers. I self injure, but it is usually a sensory thing. I will feel over stimulated and like my mind is floating way outside my body. When I hit my head, or scratch it brings me back so to spea... |

That annoys many but I would rather discuss the latest scientific finding or philosophy than discuss which ... |

| It is either the pressure of the fabric, the tightness of the clothing, or the fabric itself. It is definitely sensory related. When my son started saying that, I dressed him in only cotton, loose fitting clothes. No more problems. |

A question if I may:
If nts are using Aspie-ism as the new "add", why am I still rejected? If it is becoming "in" to be on the spectrum, why do they still treat me as though I were not worthy of consideration? |

You know how things are in my household. Lol! Same here! We argue and argue and argue....and on and on! We LOVE discussions! We LOVE arguing. Our sticky parts are bills and phone calls. Man, parent teacher conferences can be hilarious.
I love being married to someone like me! |

I think it worse than tha... |
