| For a diagnosis, I believe they are more interested in the intensity of the interest than what the interest is. It is intense if it is one of the following: 1. You work on it too long, to the point of neglecting other important tasks. 2. You keep taking about it, even when someone doesn't seem inte... |

When my future wife and I met, I liked her personality and being with her, but the idea of any physical intimacy was overwhelming for me. She was amazingly understanding and patient. When we married, I was literally a 4... |

| I am 65 and didn't learn of my autism (Asperger's) till I was 64. I was extremely skeptical until I started researching Asperger's on my own. All the "aha" moments are too many to list. I had just figured I was a unique weirdo for 64 years. I had learned enough to fake normality well enoug... |

| I have always hated clothes. I can accept the trade-off of being warm in cold weather due to the presence of clothing, but it is a lesser-of-evils thing. I have never liked the feeling form-fitting cloth on my skin. My parents were very conservative and definitely made sure I stayed dressed and put ... |
