| I think I read somewhere that John Elder Robison now sits on one of their boards. Yes, he's a curebie who's turned himself over as a research guinea pig in the hopes of finding a way to "fix" it-- but be realistic, it's a neurotypical world, and a humane cure would be the best thing, realistically,... |

| I don't seem to attract that many or perhaps I attract more than I realize but I am oblivious to any possible interest. ^^^this for sure! I think though it is hard for even NT's to know if someone is attracted to them or not. I recently thought someone was attracted to me (a long-time friend of the... |

| If you are an introvert I would suggest finding someone who isn't one. Very good, if not the best advice ever . I think this is good advice for some but not for all. My experience with dating extroverts has not been positive. I think there are different types of introverted people: those who would ... |

| I don't really have many social problems, so I can generally chat with NT girls. I dated an aspie girl earlier this year, didn't work out because when our relationship hit the realistic stage she just left me. And, she refused to make any changes or sacrifices for the realistic stage. I can't stand... |

| I was wondering the same thing (if AS+AS=Success), I put an ad in OkCupid and specifically stated that I have autism. Turned out there was someone there with AS in the same city. We have met twice and communication is comfortable. I have had relationships with other people with autism and everyone ... |

If you are an introvert I would suggest finding someone who isn't one.
I have recently started dating someone who is an introvert and so am I.
I am really hoping it works out, but it seems to be extra hard to keep the conversation going. |

So Monday afternoon we met for coffee (tea and soda actually as neither of us like coffee) and then wandered around in a bookstore afterwards. Both of us are introverts so I'll just s... |

| I think that's a good profile but do you feel it's important to tell people about your Asperger's before even meeting them? To be honest I still haven't decided if I should or not, but I figured I would give it a try and see what happens... and actually I have been talking for about a month with on... |

| The kids are _adorable_. When you mention how important they are to you, it's super genuine and sweet. I think you kit just the right note there. Maybe include pics of them without crops. I also like the goofy picture - it makes you look fun. You mention a lot of stuff you don't like, but not a lot... |

Your Scores
Viscerotonia = 16
Somatotonia = 10
Cerebrotonia = 22
Scores should range between 8 and 24.
Scores from 8 to 13 could be considered "low,"
from 14 to 18 "medium,"
from 19 to 24 "high." |
