| Greetings, I am proud to announce that Heather and I are a newlywed couple, both of whom are on the spectrum. Here is our story. When I embarked on my very first solo cruise on 25 July 2015 aboard the Norwegian Getaway, all I wanted to do was to celebrate my 50th birthday in a very special way. With... |

| I believe that it is imperative to keep the dialogue and the story as believable as possible. Make the characters as multidimensional as you can. Make your readers feel like they are sitting in the middle of the action by describing the sights, sounds, scents, touches, and tastes in your narration. |

| I must share a few notes from the above scene. David is an Aspie and has to deal with the conflict between his Aspergian nature and his desire for social interaction. Ashley, his leading lady, is the prototypical Southern socialite who leads him out of the darkness and silence of his life and turns ... |

In this scene, David (my Aspergian narrator) brings out his laptop computer and uploads t... |

| Hi, I recently completed and self-published two steamy romance novels featuring an Aspergian narrator/leading man in each story. They are actually a two-part series. The first novel is called "Topless Delivery - The Myrtle Beach Experience". The title refers to the car, not the driver. :P David, my ... |

I've had a few life-threatening experiences in this realm. I have learned to maintain a 2 ... |

Women can file false claims for any of several different reasons, including attempts to extort money from a man or revenge for a relationship gone sour.... |

| Judging by my own experience, ogling is viewed as sexual harassment and, therefore, a criminal offense where I come from. To make matters worse, the charge can come from a third party such as a possessive spouse or partner. It is now no longer enough to "keep our hands to ourselves." We must now "ke... |

| Please keep in mind that the name "Asperger House" is merely a conceptual name, rather than the actual name of the house. The house would be for all students with all Autism Spectrum Disorders. Would the name "Alpha Sigma Pi Fraternity" sound better? ;) The house would look and function more like a ... |

| Disclosing your diagnosis can be a very touchy subject. Unless your behavioral anomalies are likely to become obvious, I would recommend a wait and see approach in "coming out". I use the term "coming out" because disclosing AS is very similar to a lesbian or gay man coming out of the closet...and f... |
