| I just thought of a third technique that I use fairly frequently - stop where you are & let the other person move around you. I do this the second I realize we are in the "dance" of both moving the same way to get around each other. That's usually my strategy, but I want to prevent the awkwardn... |

I met this girl there and we chatted for several hours and we had a lot in common. I asked her out and she gave me her number and vice versa. After waiting Sunday I called today and... |

| I think it was ok, Uncyclopedia is an equal opportunity offender so I can't I'm offended by it. I think the article on Neurotypical syndrome is funnier but I have to admit it gets stupider farther into the article. Satire has always been a favorite form of humor for me. http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com... |

| I'm not gonna lie, for the longest time I had this arrogant attitude that dating attractive women was some how my birth right and Aspergers was simply denying me my birth right. What has this attitude given me? 21,dateless and still a virgin. I've come to realize many NT men have come to face this r... |

| Just out of curiosity, what is prop 48? I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you read it wrong. basically its a play on words on Prop 8 (H+eight=hate). If you don't know what prop 8 is it was a proposition last election to ban gay marriage in California and deny gay rights. A lot of people say thi... |

| If I recall correctly the California courts are now trying to figure out if the people had the right to strip rights from people in the first place. I personally think that just like in our last civil rights movement, it will be the national government that finally grants the needed freedoms. I hav... |

| Why,some might ask. To put it simply us and the gay rights movement have a lot of similarities and face the same challenges. Both of us have a mental difference, we can't help it were just born the way we are. Since both of us differ from what is seen as normal naturally the Neurotypical population ... |

| My reasoning for Aspies to be more conservative is that we have a tendency to dislike change. We like our routines and it bugs us when things change. I'm just curious if this adherence to routine and resistance to change also effects our political ideology. I also threw up this poll to see some numb... |
