When I was young, I stared. I just didn't know any better, or what else I was supposed to do.

It would be nice if we could display our age in our profile. I like to know if I'm reading a young fool or a wise old fool. |

Divorced, 1 year. We split June 10 and signed papers August 30, so I consider July 20 our anniversary, D-Day. I'm looking, but at each stage of my life it's been difficult to find potential partners in my age group. |

I was routinely called “fa***t” throughout my school years. I understand now that it was an attempt by low-self-esteem NTs to pump themselves up by putting me down, making me one of “Them.” (Us vs. Them, the Evil Others) In fact, I grew up believing that homosexuality was a myth, a name kids called ... |

"The talk around the water cooler in my office this week was not that Ken Lay had paid a terrible price for his crimes but that he had somehow gotten off easy." Sometimes those NTs just crack me up. The headline is funnier than the article, which is posted here: http://health.yahoo.com/experts/thepr... |

In kindergarten we have two rules: 1) No hitting or yelling. 2) If you’re going to hit, yell instead. When my 9-year-old neighbor was 4, we spent a lot of time together while his dad was at work. He would hit, I would yell. ”YOU DON’T HIT ME, IF YOU’RE MAD AT ME, YOU YELL!” I would always apologize ... |

It seems that lots of aspies are “too nice.” We seem to fail to develop a sense assertiveness, a sense of boundaries, “this is acceptable, that is not.” And not just aspies but lots of NTs too. One reason for non-assertiveness is a desire to be liked and accepted. Another is guilt. It’s a survival m... |

Richard- I think the vast majority of AS are open, honest, sincere and accepting, sometimes to a fault, at least when they feel safe. (But not always.) You should be prepared to be likewise. Don’t be ashamed of your ignorance. Be right up front about what you think you know and don’t know. Ask perti... |

Hi Blue Bean- I’m pleased to hear you reconsidered. If you really need it, the hospital will always be there. Your employer may or may not be angry about your marks. They may require you to repay some or all of your fees. If you think you can afford it, you might consider a pro-active approach. Take... |
