One way to let someone down gently is to claim that you don't want a romantic relationship at this point in time.
Slightly deceptive though it may be, it's often kinder than stating that it's them you don't want to be with - the latter is often taken as a criticism, and can leave them feeling low. |

Your son appears to be more interested in the internet, as opposed to computers, so perhaps HTML would be a good language for him to start with as it would allow him to find out how websites are written.
W3schools is quite useful as an HTML reference, at least in the beginning. |

| I've tried looking up solutions to this, but so far I've found nothing useful, so I'm hoping someone here has had a similar problem before. I'm installing Red Hat 9.0 [Shrike]. I downloaded the .isos [from here ], checked the md5sum on each, burned them to CD. It was going alright, up until the inst... |

| Problems are bound to arise when Asperger's meets BPD, as the latter seems to be one of the "needier" disorders at times. When someone seeks constant reassurance that they are valued, and their Aspie partner cannot take their cue to provide it, the relationship is doomed. My boyfriend's depressed/po... |

| don't know how old you are Perhaps I should have mentioned this in the initial post; I'm sixteen, and my boyfriend is seventeen. If you are very worried, maybe show him your post? Therein lies this problem: if I ever mention the relationship, he takes it as a criticism. I think there is a possibili... |

| I'm permanently worried that my boyfriend [NT] will find it too hard to understand me and find a different girl. He suffers from depression, and I can't usually tell what he wants me to do when he is feeling bad. By nature, I am a problem solver, so simply offering hugs or sympathy isn't really in m... |

| I've had a boyfriend for 10 months and I think the relationship is starting to fail a little. The fact that he is, by nature, an unpredictable human makes understanding him very difficult. When I get questions such as "do you still want to be with me?" I agonise over why he would ask such things, wh... |

| You'll read anything? What is your main thing that you are so very into? Yes, I read things from most genres depending on my mood.

| When someone comes up to me and says "hello", I'm often inclined to ignore them. Some people have told me that this is rude, and I'm meant to respond, but I can't grasp the need for this at all. I mean, it's obvious that the person is in the room, so why must they be acknowledged unless you are goin... |

| I get frustrated when people interrupt me or start to talk when I'm not at the end of my train of thought, and speak louder to hold their attention. This usually results in them shouting back at me, so I never even get to finish my point. It's incredibly confusing. I'd much rather just pen essays fo... |

| Romance is just an umbrella term for clichés such as watching sunsets with/buying flowers for your partner. I think that people are cynical about 'romance' because it has always been a cliché in itself; the word exists to describe those cinematic, overblown gestures. People confuse these predictable... |

| I'm still awaiting official diagnosis for Asperger's, but I seem to fit the stereotype in every aspect of the diagnostic criteria. I'm sixteen years old and have had a difficult time in school - people tend to 'take advantage' of the fact I take their actions at face value, which has led to a lot of... |
