And that...is hilarious. |

| I'm very violent in my sleep - I sleep with about 15 pillows and 5 blankets and often have to recover them all from the other side of the room the next morning. Sometimes in the morning I find strange injuries - usually knuckles, wrists and feet, I think I hit the walls. I generally wake up right a... |

| OMG, I'm the same way with not being able to articulate my thoughts and "discrepancies in comprehension" and the big vocabulary. But one problem I have is that I'll be trying to think of the perfect word to complete my sentence, and I'll KNOW that I know this word, and it just never comes to me. It... |

| I move my hands around ALOT while talking. I think it helps me to articulate my thoughts more accurately. If I'm moving my hands around I don't speak as disjointedly or awkwardly as I would be otherwise. There aren't as many lulls in the conversation or discrepencies in my comprehension of the idea... |

| Getting a woman seems to be very tricky. I don't have a girlfriend yet, but I wouldn't lose faith. I'd just take things slow. If you're in school, college, or grad school, you should focus on and finish school first. Maybe a woman will hit on smart guys. I never really could get a girlfriend, getti... |

| I told my friends of 15+ years, and they started treating me like I was a diseased, mentally incompetent, subhuman creature. These were people I knew from school and church, and when word started spreading through the church college group, I started receiving fewer and fewer phone calls, emails and... |

| I know exactly what you mean. I too worry about a), b) & c) - I have only ever had one "relationship", which was far from being true love. Although I obviously thought that he was "the one" at the time, it turned out that he had just been manipulating me. Now I no longer believe that I will eve... |

| It totally depends. I classify myself as an extrovert, because my whole life people have told me that I talk way too much. That's true with friends, and also true with people I view as potential friends (the problem is that if I'm hyper or nervous I go overboard and I end up repelling them instead).... |

| Just as a frame of reference, here's an example of a "tormented soul" moment: [I am watching "Arjuna," an anime, with my cousin] [In the show, there's a girl, Sayuri who's a mutual friend of a teenage couple, Juna and Tokio] Cousin [talking about Sayuri]: Oh my God! What a backstabber! She keeps fli... |

Don't ask me why (crap...now THIS needs an explanation!) Quirk: If I'm having a "tormented soul" moment, I simultaneously turn it into a subplot f... |

I mean, yes, I lose track of a conversation because I space out, but usually when people say my name, I just say, "Wait... What?" ... |

Because I do the former, but usually this is out of forgetfulness and I have friends who do it purposely, because t... |

| Totally! I'm the kind of girl who hates girls and loves guys. Like I don't actually HATE girls -- I actually have a lot of female friends -- but I find it way more difficult to communicate with them, being an aspie. (Question: do other aspies have more trouble with girls than guys?) Anyway, point is... |

| Yeah, I know what you mean. Well if a few days have already passed I'd leave it alone. If you suddenly decide to explain it now that will seem even more suspicious. With stuff like that, the explanation is best done early. Preferrably right away. |

| I'd like to interact with anyone, because it would give me a sense of balance and peace and order if I could connect with a neurotypical person. It's kind of like the stereotypical main character who's a social outcast, but whose best friend is the most popular person in school -- it sort of makes y... |

| I posted this as a reply on another topic, and then realized I'd do better to just make it into a topic: I'm pretty sure I have AS, and lately I've become fearful of my future as far as intimacy and romance and love goes. For a while I've been afraid that I'll a) never have a real boyfriend, b) neve... |
