| I'll binge on albums or movies in the same way. Back at Christmas I discovered Boney-M song Rasputin, and I got hooked on that for about 2 months. I'm over it now, but it's a fantastically addictive song. |

| It sounds like a odd way of saying "not likely". Or perhaps "I'm involved with another guy, but it's not working out with him, so I don't know". If she can't say more clearly what the situation is, you're heading for more hurt between the pair of you. Confusion is the hardest thi... |

| It's problematic for everyone I think. Not just Aspies. The girls themselves know they keep changing their minds, but they don't know why they do it. It drives them nuts as well. Relationships are hard. Everyone will tell you that. Trust that it is true. Which means, if you do want to get involved i... |

I always get offended when people ask me where I work. It feels very private to me, and I don't want to go telling everybody I've just met where I work. |

| To SocOfAutism I think I would count myself as one of your "Invisible Autistics". To get a positive diagnosis means that you pass a 60% threshold of associated disorders. This means that they are Autistic / Aspersions. I think you're confusing yourself about other people's difficulties, or... |

High functioning refers specifically to Executive Function. The frontal lobe. If that is untouched by autism, the pers... |

| I've never found a good online resource. Books are good to understand the condition, but they won't help much with those questions you pose. So, I could only suggest an autistic/Asperger group in your area. If this option is available, it'd be a lot cheaper and you get to meet other people in a simi... |

| I was 46 when I discovered Asperger's, and was diagnosed soon after. Over the next two years, I bought every book I could find on the web. I found Olga Bogdashina to be the best author for anything Aspergers or Autistic. I can't praise her books enough. |

I've been wanting to go to the local topless bar for years, but just haven't gained the courage to do so yet. I'd probably be bored silly ... |
