| I don't think this is an issue of self control but a biological difference in wiring. At least for me. I have to think about an emotion until it is rationally resolved. YMMV. |

| Thanks for the advice. Right now we are talking about it bit by bit, but the main issue is introducing it piece by piece so his emotional reactions don't overwhelm the entire discussion. I cannot handle strong emotion. He has relented about bikinis because I explained the difficulties re: sensory, a... |

| Mine was age 7. I'm 6 inches shorter than my mom because of it. It also means that my IQ is probably lower than it should be due to accelerated maturation. |

if he feels negatively about touring, then he is a hypocrite since he has done touring before
i don't see how having a kid would affect one's happiness. my friend had one when she was in 11th grade and it sucked she had to graduate late |

| Ok Cyllyla1 thanks for the tip. I'm just going to buy the bathing suit and not wear it around him. BTW my income is twice his. Slenkar I went to band practice at that time because it takes me 3 hours to get there via public transport at that hour. Public transit is far slower during 'off peak' hours... |

| First of all people in my area do often have gang fights and the like, but honestly I'd take that over NTs calling the cops on me over meltdowns like they always did... over and over. Cops are a major trigger for me. Some kid getting stabbed isn't. BTW Adamantium I don't know what you're saying. Wha... |

| Actually we get along otherwise, but our area is just weird because somebody stole my fiance's necklace before while we were walking around the neighborhood. There are some teenage crews in the area that bother each other too. However it's one of the only place I've lived where people don't call the... |

| Hey guys. I'm having some troubles with my neurotypical fiance. I'm around 30 and mid-functioning (more profound than Aspergers, but verbal 90% of the time). 1. I lost some weight through diet and exercise and he is prohibiting me from buying a bikini. When asking him which one is nice, he starts ra... |

| Bullsh*t. An autistic person is more likely to say something politically incorrect because they might not know how to filter out what is PC and what is not. But the NT is far more likely to actively have a racist or sexist sentiment. For example an autistic person might say the N word or homophobic ... |
