| Maxine Aston is a quack. Don't listen to anything she says I've heard this before but I wanna know, why is she a quack? Maxine Aston is not a scientist. The conclusions she presents are based on anecdotal evidence. Anecdotal evidence is still evidence, but when it's analyzed without the rigor of th... |

| OP, I'm going to encourage you to put aside your concerns about your husband's diagnosis for a moment. What's coming across in your latest posts is a story of a couple who seems to be locked in a power struggle. You want him to be medicated; he wants you to stop your medication; you want him to be d... |

| OP, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, and I'm sorry you've been given such a hard time. Look, there are some hard truths you have to face. None of us here are qualified to diagnose your husband. That said, lots of lots of Aspies are self-diagnosed, and accept their Aspieness without ever get... |

| OP, you are on a very dangerous path, and I hope you can find the strength to turn yourself around. Your posts in this thread detail the many ways you've chosen to invalidate your own worth by allowing other people to define it. You're okay if a girl wants to date you; you're okay if you're as good ... |

| i had been thinking of a different idea i guess, regarding the Hall of Fame thread. i had thought it would be isolated posts, in no particular order, to highlight some of the best posts from members. sort of a non-linear scrapbook of sorts, which would be fast and easy. i can see that it wouldn't w... |

| First, to clear up any confusion, the replies in the “essential” post are supposed to contain threads. However, those threads are supposed to be voted on by the membership, so the replies are simply placeholders for suggested categories. They’ll be populated with threads that have been approved by t... |

| Rather than making one thread with a variety of different posts, I suggest creating several posts according to subject matter, e.g., the challenges of mixed relationships; flirting; interpreting interaction with the opposite sex; recognizing abuse; understanding the difference between autism and cha... |

I sometimes used to think of myself as shallow because of it, but I realised that nobody should have to date someone they have no attraction to.

| He's not that bad really, just very messed up. He was only diagnosed a couple of years ago and he's the same age as me. He spent a lot of years with angst and wondering what was wrong with him. HIs self-esteem is just the lowest of the low. Luckily, I'm pretty tough and can take it. He doesn't real... |
