| i like the spoon theory, but it is too complicated for most of the people who have been close to me. i keep it simple. Aspie means i 1) have trouble reading between the lines the way "people" normally do 2) i don't get jokes because i'm very literal and 3) lights and sounds and textures and so fort... |

| 1.) Yes, a few years ago. It was a friend of a friend who became a friend of mine and a few others. 2.) It never became inappropriate other than to myself. I knew it was wrong and I struggled with it. I struggled with the thought "why am I so obsessed with this person? Why am I thinking about them d... |

| I rarely remember my dreams, and when I do they are hardly realistic. I remember one a few years back where I was riding a bike on a tour. Not long after that I was doing some mapping stuff on Google Earth (map geek), and I saw these placeholders along a particular highway. Turns out it was a guy's ... |

My parents, my family, my co-workers, my friends, my bosses, none of them know. My gf was the one who told me one time that she thought I seemed autistic. The li... |

| When I look at pictures of myself as a child and teen, my eyes look like they are starring far off somewhere and are not looking at the camera. This is so even in some photos where I am actually making "eye contact" with the camera. It still looks like I am looking somewhere else, like I am looking... |

So sorry about the things you're going through. Maybe a little time alone could help. Away from all of these people?
50 is not too late. You deserve to be happy and to be treated well. |

| Sounds like you're conflicted whether you're in a fog or not. You don't deserve to be this way. The question is, how to find satisfaction. Maybe clarity is what you need, but you just need to see something good. Perhaps getting away from your routine can help some. |
