Yeah. I'm having the same problem (with girls), except I'm 21 and at college. I've just started school, so we'll see I guess. I have no idea where or how to meet people who I might be interested in. Maybe someone out there has suggestions for us?

There is a basic idea that autism and psychopathy represent two extremes of social cognition. Crespi & Badcock appear to equate any form of psychosis to psychopathy, when they are not the same thing. I read the paper, and my impression is more that they equate psychosis more with schizophrenia....

Yes, rejection hurts me very much. Just because I am different does not mean I am not human. I am a social animal, regardless of how socially capable I am.

Combine social interaction with a highly-stimulating environment and you've got a great experience for your typical NT (such as the experien...

I've lurked around these forums from time to time; today I've decided to join you all!
