| Just to get it right. I think a few people here believe that BPD is Bipolar disorder. It is not. It is Borderline Personality Disorder. Two different diagnosis. I can understand where the mixup in the acronyms might make you think otherwise. Bipolar is only BP. |

| I am writing a paper on Asperger's and I was hoping I could get some help. There are many terms that I have forgotten to define some of the positive and negative aspects of having AS. One in particular is high language skills. I can't find it looking backwards on the internet, maybe you can help me?... |

What else are you going to do that's a better idea?
Have you thought of how she is going to feel if you reject her?
Are you going to go through you whole life without friends?
What's wrong is that you have nothing to fear and you know it. |

| It depends on the level of trust for me. What the subject is and have they proven themselves trustworthy. Those people who seem to like this woman may not necessarily like her, but they may be nice to her because they know how much she can hurt someone's reputation. People like that are to be avoide... |

| The sooner the better... be honest with him. If you give him any hope, you'll never hear the end of him. "I'm sorry, I just don't feel any chemistry so we probably shouldn't be romantic" is just fine. You don't have to be unkind, just firm. |

| After years of dealing with this same issue. I have come to the conclusion that if you love him as he is and you know it will work, then stick with him. If you don't think it will work like he is. Then leave him be to find someone who can love him for who he is. Love with someone who is aspie is no ... |

Or maybe there were a few he didn't notice. Or possibly there might be someone on the internet dating sites. The problem with n... |

| There are a lot of pages for aspies on facebook. All you have to do is type in a search. There is also one for Wrongplanet. If you like facebook, which I do personally, look it up and send a join request. If they don't add you right away it is because sometimes the admin doesn't log on often. |

| My theory is.. brain damage is complete loss of the use of a part of your brain. Autism is a malfunction of some part of either your brain, or some other system that is used by your brain. The result of both are a lessening in brain function but Asperger's/Autism actually enhances other parts of you... |

| This may help you to discern the difference between the relationships of aspie to aspie. Just because you find someone who is aspie doesn't mean it will work. The key here is to like yourself and find someone who likes the aspie in them. I met someone who I knew was like myself. We were together on ... |

| You might want to change the way you reveal yourself. When you find her or yourself getting into the romantic stage, let her know what it is and what your weaknesses might be. This way she can trust you and will take the time she needs to decide. |
