| I concur with Willard. Sexuality at your age can be a tricky confusing thing. I think deep down you're attracted to this girl even if you don't consciously realize it, it may even be that you're attracted to the fight. Either way, a dream is a dream not an action. We can't control what we dream and ... |

| but, i'm just more embarrassed with these things now, since I can't tell if he's interested, or if maybe he doesn't want to know (because perhaps he thinks that, by me disclosing things to him, I will become too emotionally clingy.) He's an aspie, not a zombie. Unless he has some other disorder he ... |

| Called sluggish cognitive tempo, the condition is said to be characterized by lethargy, daydreaming and slow mental processing. Could they come up with a stupider name for it? :roll: Assburgers? Yes, if my condition has to be called assburgers then these twits should have to have an equally disturb... |

| Anyone that relies on Jenny McCarthy for medical advice gets what they deserve. Yes, yes, it's unfortunate that the poor little children should have to suffer deadly disease outbreaks because their parents were moronic enough to listen to miss bimbo fun-bags, but in all honesty it's just natural evo... |

| Something about inhaling the smoke is quite relaxing even if it is harmful....not sure I will ever get over enjoying that. I stopped smoking about three months ago (started @18 smoked for 14) and I felt/feel the same way. It's not the nicotine per se, it's the rush of the smoke filling the lungs th... |

| It used to make me jealous when I would see others wearing wedding gowns or see them start having families. Exactly! Why put yourself through all that? Facebook is not reality, it's a social game where the main point is to make your friends jealous of some vanity. In a sense it's the post-modern ap... |

| I was lucky in that I had an ex who flat out told me I was physically irresistibly and she wanted to jump me the first chance she had but I know few women are direct like that. There you go: next time a girl smiles at you assume she's non-verbally saying the same thing the ex did. What's the worst ... |

| @Aristophanes I share the same sentiments as well. Speaking of being the "go to" person for last minute papers, test tutor, and outside of lecture class teacher, doesn't that end up not being a real friendship but rather almost like those people are taking advantage of you? (It seems like a one-way... |

| Solution: don't use Facebook, it's merely a tool for NT's to attempt to 1-up each other. I've never used social media and I have to believe my sense of self-esteem and general mental health is better for it. |

If I'm going to fill my mind with information I'd rather it be something with true value, something that lasts longer than a month before it's no long... |

Your Aspie score: 164 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 44 of 200
I can also add in 3 separate clinical diagnoses, 33 years of ridicule due to eccentricity, and 333 over stimulation induced finger taps to establish my credentials-- but I still think I'm 110% normal. |
