| Eventually for one reason or another somebody gets fed up with the distance and then it will be in person. Yeah, I wouldn't mind an in-person relationship, but personally for me, I think long distance would hurt me more than anything. I'm horrible at personal communication (clearly), so electronic ... |

| People constantly ask what's wrong, when nothing is. They also think I don't appreciate anything based on my reactions, but I don't know how to react with mah face. |

| Lately, I've been talking to a girl from another country over the Internet, and I was wondering how well Aspies fare in long distance situations. I'm not saying it'll happen; I hope it does, but there are no guarantees. I would think Aspies are really well-off in long-distance relationships. We tend... |

So, I've been reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. If anyone has read it, I would like to know if you think Charlie has Asperger's syndrome or not. I think he does, personally.
I haven't read the whole book, so NO spoilers, please!  |

| I have to say no. No one really understands it any more than they would have had the show not been popular. They just think his awkwardness is funny. In fact, it's not helping at all. |

| A few weeks ago, a co-worker brought me some banana bread. I took one bite and ended up spitting it out (all over the place) because of the texture. Hahaha, that's so odd. That happened to me a few weeks ago (not with my coworker though). My stepmom had made banana bread and I was overjoyed until I... |

| It's also part of the reason I always wear the same clothes. It's easier to not have to deal with the choices and narrow my focus down to a small number of choices. Oh, I definitely get that. I cycle between a few outfits and people always ask whether I wore that shirt yesterday, or this shirt the ... |

| Is it an aspie trait to be very picky and narrow? Like, if something is not precisely and exactly what you want it to be, you don't want it. For example, if I'm shopping for clothes, and I'm looking for a pair of jeans, there could be a pair of jeans just like the ones I'm looking for, but the brand... |

| Yeah tumblr is great, although I think a lot of the people there play up their social awkwardness because on tumblr it's like 'cool' to be awkward. I always wonder how people make friends on tumbr, because I've never been able to :? Yeah, I've seen people play it up, too. But a place where it's coo... |

| Does anyone else hate being teased and joked with as much as I do? I can never see it as teasing, and I always feel like I have to defend myself and I take the teasing heavily. It's why I hate hanging out with groups of certain friends. They tease each other and tease me, and I end up disappointed b... |

| Recently, I've been asking my neurotypical friends for advice on socializing and sometimes relationships. But after certain pieces of advice, I've come to really dislike the social world. This is especially because of one thing my friend said to me. Once in a conversation, he said, "You have to appr... |

| I usually just have this weird feeling in my chest to let me know I'm happy. It sounds weird, but it's almost like having butterflies in your stomach in the way it feels. I don't usually smile to indicate that I'm happy, or anything that an NT would do. When people ask why I'm never happy because of... |

Oh, but losers are the new winners! 
I wouldn't give up my gifts and talents for a social life by any means, but that's just me. |
