| Trebornos64 ... now that I know you had a chance to read my original post, I've removed it. Sadly, I'm not anonymous here anymore. In other words, there are people IRL who know both me and my WP identity. That's the reason I don't hang here much. But, hopefully you were able to see my point. And you... |

| I've never even been in a relationship. And I'm almost 24. It's annoying being awkward and not extremely bad looking, because then guys just assume that I'm snooty, or dating someone else. Maybe guys just don't like awkward girls? Who knows? But I believe that the time comes for everyone. It's not ... |

| I'm looking to see if anyone here likes listening to classical music, and if so who and what do you like to listen to? Definitely. It's not the only thing I listen to, but it's the only thing I seriously listen to -- if that makes sense. I'm mostly drawn to Baroque keyboard music, but I'll listen t... |

Drums were the first instrument I le... |

Yes, it's cute. But, it would be much better (IMO) if you could say all this in person. Why do you need to send a letter? |

| I agree with the folks above. Everything you've said in your self-description is consisent with AS (AFAIK); and nothing you've said is inconsistent with AS (again, AFAIK). But, that's still a pretty long way away from a diagnosis. How about finding a doctor who might be of more help? Living in Swede... |

| I would definitely bring that list if I were you. So far as I understand this, diagnosing a 4-year-old with AS is extremely difficult to do, and anyone who tries is likely going to need lots of your input. Of course it's going to influence the diagnosis -- hopefully toward the most accurate one poss... |

It's actually a pretty appealing invitation, and I'd be surprised if you don't have an e-mail buddy by now. If we were age-appropriate, I wou... |

| People get married at any age. The age is not that important, but it is a little more difficult for women over 40 to get a partner. Why? Just because there are more women than men, and on top of it a large part of the population is gay, the by the time you are 40 the amount of men that can marry yo... |
