| I do have a friend I've long suspected is an undiagnosed aspie, and he frequently compares himself to Hamlet. |

| Does anybody think Mark Oliver Everett from Eels has Asperger's? My case: 1) His autobiography and lyrics (I know you can't judge from lyrics, and they must reflect the human condition if they're so popular, but - like Morrissey - he persists) talk a lot about alienation, not having friends, saying ... |

Hallo,
Ich komme aus Irland, und jetzt wohne ich für einen Jahr in Süd-Deutschland. Ich möchte jemand finden, mit der ich auf Deutsch sprechen kann. Wir können Tandem-Partners sein.
Gibt es hier jemand von Baden Württemberg oder etwas ähnlich?

Yeah, I think leaving the relationship would be the best thing. I know it's tough, especially after that much time, but there will be someone better out there.
Someone who's in jail for murder is going to attract chaos; and I'm guessing, as an aspie, you're not a fan of chaos. |

I don't agree about saying "I need you." Obviously it's different with different people, but that would scare me a bit.
Anyway, he could just want to talk about privacy etc, it's not necessarily a break-up. Wait and see what happens.

| Thanks guys. Yeah, I go to an art college, which is where the National Film School is housed, so I know a few of the students and a lot of them are pretty mad. I'm still undecided between film, or an MA in Screenwriting. I like the point about socialising being based on a common goal (i.e. making th... |

| I don't know, it sounds relatively harmless to me. It's hard to say without having first-hand experience of the situation but I'd guess it's a friendly joke. I wouldn't confront her about it. If she knows about your Asperger's maybe you could gently and politely ask her what she meant by it (make su... |

Just wondering if there are any aspies here who've done that, and how did they find it? I know I'd be good at the technical and artistic aspects, and I figure if I ... |

Okay, I may have jumped the gun in setting a deadline. I've set up a facebook and twitter for the group. While I'm building that I might have to let the entries trickle in until there's more of a presence.
I've never done this before, so it may take some time. |

| Hey guys, I'll PM you all now in a second. I should make it clear to everyone that the zine will be 100% fiction. Short fiction, and comics. The reason for this is that I think it's better to focus on filling a niche, rather than trying to do everything at once. So there won't be articles or columns... |
