| The best thing I can say is you have to remain positive even optimistic. You call it an illness and that needs to change in your head. That'll help you with accepting it and will be your first step in what you are looking for. Are you superficial with people? It is ok to be that way and I know it do... |

| Have any of you been out on a date where the other person out of the blue starts talking about Asperger's? She called it Asperger's Disease!! Those she knows with it use/ view it as a disability.

| I've been volunteering now for various organizations for the past 10 years. At first I must admit it was to socialize because other volunteers wouldn't judged too harshly. I enjoy volunteering a lot but I have to be careful where I do. I get burned out quickly where I have to ineract with too many p... |

| Maybe its just me being an Aspie but I give off some gay vibes according to coworkers. I don't talk about woman or pay the attractive ones any more attention then I do another person. I also tend to be able to honestly look at a guy and say what is attractive about him. I'm 100% heterosexual and hav... |

Is anyone else interested in a computer game called The Movies? I've always wanted to see some of my short stories played out. It seems this would even improve my writing.
Oh and Shining Force 1 for the Sega Genesis is a great game if anyone still has that system. |

Has anyone else taken up martial arts to help with this? I've been doing martial arts now for a year and have noticed a huge difference. My movements are still not as good as those with half my time though.
What activities do you do to help overcome your lack of motor skills? |

| Self talk, coaching, was mentioned and it interests me that it was said AS people are poor at it. I do that enough when I am by myself but when I am talking to someone I just can't stay focused. Is there a way to keep the sensory overload to a minimum when interacting with people? Does anyone else h... |

My parents though refused to accept it and just said I was lazy and worthless amongst other things, I'm sure most have experienced being told those things. I just am not sure if that memory is real or not, as why would my parents n... |

| Has anyone had a problem with accepting AS? I feel myself trying to avoid who I am now. Its starting to bug me as 'I like me'. Now that I know I'm unique because I'm an Aspie, I feel ashamed.
