| Hi. I'm sorry you've been getting so many rude responses. For what it's worth, I found it really helpful when my mother informally diagnosed me with Asperger's a few years ago. Partly, I'd always known I was different, and having the quasi-diagnosis gave evidence that I really was different and it w... |

| How would you feel if someone said to you that they could never enter into a relationship with you because they were repelled by the idea of you having A.S.? That would hurt, right? Prejudice is prejudice whichever way you look at it. Seriously? IF?! I've been unable to have romantic relationships ... |

| Well, I am different from Kamchatka's girlfriend in that I like to cuddle with a girlfriend when I have one, so I can't speak to that directly. The biggest single symptom of my Asperger's is that I'm really really bad at reading body language. So, since I realized I have Asperger's, these are the ru... |

| Do you guys think you can cope better with AS if you were a woman? Not that girls have it any easier but...since they have an easier time getting dates and such....would you want to be a woman for simply more acceptance or whatever? I'd certainly pick being a woman if I had the choice. Partly becau... |

| Ironically in one session we spent most of the time explaining how things work to each other. I explained computers in depth (mostly the office suite programs and basics of Internet privacy) while she explained the dynamic nonverbal communication of a nightclub. Sounds like she's a friend :) . (No,... |

| here in canada another approach was tried - educating the Johns and providing social services for the women. it was a huge success. legalization and criminalization do not have to be the only 2 choices. As somebody living in Vancouver, where Canada's oh-so-awesome "system" set the stage for Robert ... |

| I am not justifying it at all just pointing out how many people will see it. Nonsense. You're doing everything you can to legitimize it. I am not a Muslim but I would say that yes I would see it as an attack on 'average' Muslims. She could draw jokes about Bin Laden, Ahmadinejad, Al Qaeda, the Tali... |

| I feel like I made a new friend. I agree. There seems to be an email functionality on this site if you want to try it? I was rude to you in that last post, and apologize for it. However, I do think the feeling that you are martyring yourself is unhealthy. To the extent that you're gambling for a ri... |

| Hey there again. Well I'm glad you took my biting your head off over the "he's not unsuccessful" thing as constructive :) (it was intended that way, but one never knows how these things will look over the Internet). He is devastatingly handsome ... even the other alpha males were terrified of being ... |

| "The vast wreckage of his life"? He has a "rock-solid" career, good health, a woman who loves him, and a child. If that's "vast wreckage" I want some wreckage :P (I have 2 out of 4 and consider myself blessed: if you have good health you can get the others.) Yes, there is that minor ;) detail of an ... |

Sorry not to post earlier, but I didn't see the message until just before I had to work. To understand the context of my finding out about having Asperger's, you have to know that ... |
