| Autism is defined by the medical community as a list of negative symptoms. Cure the negative symptoms, cure autism. The negative symptoms include: * Oxidative stress and overworked immune system leading to blood-brain barrier problems and neurotoxins in the brain, brain rise in temperature and part... |

| I've been with this site for several years. I don't say a whole lot, mostly lurk, because usually people tend to figure things out on their own without my contributions. But I really do take exception to the concept that "autism is curable." It really really upsets me. It upset me no end w... |

| Personally, I'd want to avoid anyone with addiction problems, especially during their recovery period. In fact, most professionals would agree that for them to have a relationship during that time would be damaging to the recovery process. A psychologist once explained addiction in this way to me: I... |

It's just you. :lol: It's more like a prediction of what would happen if you were not being yourself, followed by a suggestion to be yourself, just jumbled together in the same paragraph. Immediate success, followed by long-term failure... or imme... |

| Makuranososhi, This is sort of similar to what I've described in another post, and what I said there in a nutshell is be a part of yourself until you're comfortable enough in the encounter with being your entire self. I don't agree with the manipulative connotations that are now taking place in this... |

| I think that perhaps there may be a lot of over-generalization with the "why can't I find a mate" subject. I think that perhaps the most important challenge that we have to overcome is the anxiety that comes with social interaction, and this isn't really AS specific. There are a lot of "disorders" t... |

| The biggest reason why I spent the money for an official diagnosis was for protection at work. I've gotten tired of being fired from jobs simply because there were unwritten rules I wasn't aware of. The Americans with Disabilities Act protects me now. |

| I prefer to view my living space as "organized chaos"... it only looks messy, but I usually know where everything is, especially if I'm the one who put it there. At work, I'm compulsive about putting our daily paperwork in logical order, and I'll sometimes go to the unused cubicles and pick up the s... |

After I eat, I might go to the designated smoking area and listen to the other employees, but... |

| As much as I hate to say it, this does sound somewhat similar to me... If he will NOT say, "I love you," then it is most likely that he doesn't feel it. Couldn't really tell you what changed; perhaps he wasn't getting enough "personal time", and felt like you were constantly in his personal space? T... |

| I suggest using your sense of humor to your advantage. Just try to make them laugh, almost any way you can. You don't have to have serious conversations when you're just getting to know someone - you can save that for later, after you've shared enough good laughs to feel comfortable around each oth... |

| I reccomend showing him your post, so he has your concrete feelings on paper. A good idea in theory...but I'm too much of a coward to because I'm intensely scared of getting hurt. If he ends up not liking me, not only will I be emotionally devastated but it will probably be awkward to be around him... |

| I'm having the same problem, and it never seems to work with the women I work with. My mom suggested going to church, but that seems a rather hypocritical reason to go to church. Sometimes in the newspaper are lists for different group meetings; I think I might try that. (Quilting, anyone? ) |
