| I've been trying/needing to learn a foreign language for YEARS for college. It's made me not able to graduate so many times. Do Aspies have a harder time learning a language? Part of it is just practical... I hadn't studied the language in a few years, then tried to pick it back up. I still find fo... |

| This is how I completely feel except in my heart I've kind of accepted I'll probably never meet a life companion and I'm gradually trying to think and do what I truly want to do with my life. I received a great feeling of liberation from this but when the sexual impulses come I feel really bad and ... |

I have seen so many threads with this kind of title on WP and since you only joined WP in Feb and this is your 8th post, I wondered if perhaps you are a troll?
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and suggest you read some quality Asperger's reference books to answer this question. |

| I was in London in 1996 and went to see a doctor (GP). I had been reading about ADHD (ADD as it was called then) She hadn't heard of ADD. When I mentioned that 15% + of children (at the time) had ADD, she stopped writing, put down her pen, crossed her arms an told me that this was 'normal'. The body... |

| In answer to the actual thread question..... In social situations, I am instinctively in collecting and exchanging information mode. It is analytical and formal. I am now aware of this and very occasionally can dumb it down to social situations. This generally involves following instead of leading w... |

| My former therapist gave me a copy at this book at the end of our last session together. She was in tears when I left. I really enjoyed this book and it was very easy to recognise myself in the character of The Little Prince. I think I will re read it this weekend. Thank you for reminding me. |
