| With some people I met, and to a limited extent also with me, anxiety and/or depression were much more significant barriers to finding a relationship than autism as I experienced it. There are certain things about e.g. stimming and not looking at people when talking to them that may be a bit off-put... |

| Apart from support groups, AspieAffection (which you may want to join anyway), and here (and I wouldn't be too forward), I think that covers most of the reasonable places to look. Other than that, I would agree with the general sentiment that you should look for partners both outside as well as insi... |

| Nope. It's as simple as falling off a log. If there were any tricks to it, the population would have dwindled away to nothing eons ago. That said, there is some technique to doing it well , but that's all craft and finesse, learned over time. Losing my virginity was strange for me because as a guy ... |

| Last time I used okc seriously I deliberately ruled out taller girls, and whoever taller girl show interest (and as usual they don't read the profile's info well) I flatly point them in a first reply or first message something like: "Look, before wasting each other's times, you're 168 tall, I am 16... |

| I'm still not entirely sure how pecks work, how much if any saliva should there be on my lips or am I just brushing them against her dry? In practice they won't be bone dry. If you're that concerned about making an impression then just make sure they're not chapped. Does a closed mouth kiss transit... |

The pool of women was much smaller but I left myself open to meet new women through going out with col... |

My policy is to not tell close friends/women I'm seeing until they know me well enough to understand what makes me different, and that I'm not different in some other way that they might not like (e.g. they might have known ... |

| It depends on what you mean by "proof". 1. Axioms in a proof system can be proved merely by their assertion, because they were taken as axioms. Obviously this doesn't suffice to establish a proof of the soundness of the axioms, which I assume is what you mean, but my point merely is that this kind o... |

Public perception of Obama in purple states was not negative enough by the time of the election for any of the 2012 Republican field to win - better the devil you know, and so on. Jon Huntsman might have won another swing state or two... |

He deregulated the airlines, was opposed by Ted Kennedy for being a conservative Democrat, and the whole stagflation thing was an exogenous shock -almost everyone in the West was suffering f... |
