| I am always amazed at the different preferences of people. For me, I like guys that are thin but not weedy; they don't have to have large muscles, but they have to be there somewhere. My boyfriend now has an eight-pack which is extremely alluring! I also prefer them to be shorter than me but for som... |

| Diving is a pretty safe sport and not hard to learn, especially when you have the passion and urge to explore underwater. Aspergers itself is definitely not a problem for diving. The sorts of problems people could have that might make it hard are - asthma; ear problems; bleeding problems or certain ... |

| I'd like to get into shake making, but I can't find a good protein powder. Good being defined as one that blends well, isn't gritty, doesn't leave a funny aftertaste, and doesn't do strange things to my stomach. I've had smoothies before made at actual smoothie bars, and I really liked them, but I'... |

He said to me once in regards to working out at the gym "I have a better foundation to build on at the gym than you". And also "building up a lot of muscle would not suit you because... |

| Oh yeah I forgot to say - don't expect a quick fix for something so longstanding. You might be going there for 6-12 visits over 2-4 months! Sounds like it would be worth the money though. Ask them for ways to exercise with less chance of re-injury, until they say you're ready to exercise fully again. |

| Does anyone know of a good treatment for this. It is an injury I got about 7 years ago whilst doing sport. About twice a year it rears up and I am in complete agony and unable to function for about a week, or sometimes more. I can feel it coming on today. Any advice appreciated. Wow man sounds bad!... |

| I'm an anaesthesiologist and we have equal training in such things in Australia. The heart is normally predictably rhythmic - that doesn't mean it's always the same. When you breathe in, the rate should increase slightly; when you breathe out fully, the pace will soon slow a bit. You will notice thi... |

| I'm not an expert of dating, but I think going to a movie on a first date was a bad move. Go on a date where you two have a chance to talk to each other. I advise bowling, mini golf, billiards (laid-back atmosphere, lots of time in between to talk, feel it's a good aspie spot) or a zoo. If you two ... |

| It's so very fraught, this dating thing. The other points and advice were really good! Firstly - online there are none of the usual social cues about a person; when you see each other across a room and meet in real life, you can see what you like about their posture, laugh, eyes, confidence etc. Tha... |

| AS is nothing like being high. I have a really concrete sense of reality at all times; the closest I'm usually getting to "high" is a sense of confusion and detachment from the reality of others. Still, everything seems real. "High" can mean so many different things. Probably the most usual is havin... |

The main advice about napping is very well established: - never nap longer than 40 mins; most people should nap for... |

| I would recommend never to do it online. In fact, it's safer to do it in real life, because online it's recorded permanently and potentially seen by dozens of people. In real life, it might be just the two of you and not recorded. Think first, "will this make me feel guilty?", or "will this make my ... |

The problem I find is just getting to the dating stage. Our focus on logic and efficiency makes the first part of the... |
