| When you say leaving him alone does that mean even a phone call can stress him out? I am going to his place this weekend cause he wants to take his cat to get fixed at the vet cause it's spraying his house and it smells bad. I think that is causing him stress. I told him I will stay in another room,... |

| I have been socially awkward my entire life (46) and have found ways to avoid being in crowds since very young. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression but I take medication. I used to rage or mini rage when I was upset but the meds helped take care of this. The only place I really acknowledge m... |

| I was bullied from 3rd grade through 8th and after 8th switched to an all girls high school. During that time life was miserable. I would go play with the first graders during recess or lunch or help teachers to avoid the playground and bullies. I cried alot. In 9th grade I knew I wanted to fit in s... |

| My father had schizophrenia and at an early age we'd observe him attacking my mother. Setting her on fire, hitting her head with objects, etc. She divorced him when her arm went numb with her doctors advice. He later killed a man in a bar so she made the right choice. He went to a mental institute w... |

| Thank you for your responses. I personally don't want to place a label on my orientation since I can be bi or not and I can be monogomous or poly. I just want to be on the same page and understand so there will be a balance. If he is poly, then he most likely wouldn't mind if I was although he said ... |

| I've learned that my AS may have a problem with being honest and going to craigslist and having sexual casual encounters with men and women. Is it possible for an AS male to love a woman but still seek pleasure outside of the relationship and lie? I am an aspie as well but I would never do that so n... |

| I read that but it doesn't have answers to my questions. I'm just wondering if anyone reading this has experienced shutdown for a long period of time and what helps bring them back. My AS fiance started his shutdown/overload three weeks ago and he's not back to himself yet. He functions at work only... |

| Can anyone explain to me what it is like to go through catatonia. Where you go on sensory overload and your brain starts to shutdown certain functions that impair speech and motor skills. Can you tell me what causes this to happen to you and what you do to get well and back to normal and how long it... |

| Life sucks here too. My bf was my best friend and lover and he's now detaching me for the past three weeks to get rid of me. Because I'm so stupid, I never saw it coming and thought everything was great. didn't see signs if there were any and he never said anything. He's not calling me at all, etc. ... |

If I am going to a club (when I lived in Vegas for two years coworkers would go on Friday nights and in... |

| Thanks for that. Logically in my brain those thoughts came to mind. I keep letting him know how great I feel and I'm healthier than ever. I have a great job and go back to work in 1.5 weeks so he knows that too. In fact, I was in the hospital for two weeks and then at his house for one week. After t... |

| Thank you for the advice. I will wait thru the process. I agree with the sex comments which is why I stopped dating because I wasn't being fair to the men who found me attractive. I know that my physical appearance is what brought my Fiance and I together in the beginning. The OCD on sex changed the... |

| I personally do not tell people I have anxiety or depression. It's on an 'as need to know' basis. In the workplace I think it would be career suicide. People do not do research like we do and would just pass judgement based on ignorance. I tend to be a very private person so I don't call it hiding. ... |

| Hello, I came upon your site while doing research on aspie meltdowns, avoidance, detachment. I'm an NT with lots of aspie traits (or an undiagnosed aspie not on the extreme side of the spectrum). When my fiance and I first met 1.5 years ago he told me he was an aspie and I loved it because a part of... |
