| I'm not sure if "we've all been there," or this is specific to me (because of all my co-morbidities). If it's just me, please say so, and try to do so in a helpful fashion if you'd be so kind. My question actually stems from something that has been bothering me for quite some time, including before ... |

| I'm a computer technician and IT consultant by trade, though I'm currently between jobs. My last job was split roughly down the middle: ~50% actual computer repair and the like, and ~50% customer service and support. This was interacting directly with the customer, sometimes working while they're st... |

| I also have a strange physiological aversion to ringing phones, especially when it goes unanswered and then they call back and ugh. It's usually for my father, and it's usually important, so I generally don't bother answering anyway (unless he's out.) I just had a job interview a few hours ago for a... |

OkC sends out e-mails? I must have disabled those in a spell of common sense way back when I made a profile.
I check it now and then because no matter how creepy the marketing staff may be, the users themselves always beat them in that department... |

| I feel naked without my phone (and my wallet and my keys) because I don't know I just do. I need my phone. I bring it everywhere because my parents sometimes call or text me out of the blue and it's always something really important and I just can't risk missing that, you know? That said, I almost e... |

| Last night, she got really upset about something and I started to panic because I can't ever perceive or understand what's wrong in any situation ever, and like most Aspies I have a very difficult time with comfort or empathy...I can emulate it to an extent and even feel it I guess but certainly not... |

| Most of us are like that. I have learned to know what sarcasm is but still don't quite get it, which is a problem because my girlfriend seems to enjoy using it a lot. I have horrible time management but then again I have bad ADD, so yeah, no surprises really. I'm not too worried about her knowing, w... |

| Thanks. Having it colored by my tendency for panic attacks was/is a big concern of mine. I don't want to freak out trying to tell her, because then she'll just get worried. Hmm I could definitely find some things that having AS would certainly explain. Like how I have five times as many computers as... |

Usually people have to force entry into my life and expend all their energy just to get close to me, b... |

| My mother is like that (with books). She's actually the one who initially "diagnosed" me when I was about 15. Being 15, I blew her off and refused to believe her because well I was kind of stubborn and ignorant. She has a doctorate in pharmacology and is extremely well-educated about any kind of neu... |

| My best friend of over 5 years does not believe I have Asperger's. I think she's under the impression that "autism" is characterized by a specific set of traits, most of which I admittedly do not exhibit. I have tried to explain that AS is high-functioning autism and that the reason I don't always c... |

Apparently, in the future, we'll all be wearing unisex, one-piece jumpsuits, so it shouldn't matter! :lol: Seriously though, yes, for some people it is.

Neither of us wants to transition to the other biological sex, but I suppose we are "transgender" insofar as the word can be twisted to mean " trans cending gender" :) As if I wasn't "different" enough, right? I mean, I look and act fairly m... |
