| Sounds like someone has internalized aspie-phobia. Actually, I'm not sure that's true. I think the OP's sentiments are borne of frustration and not intolerance. It's not uncommon to find that people find lower functioning Aspies frustrating to discuss ideas with - not least when they exhibit highly... |

| I've also read that some experts have speculated that females as a group have a higher propensity toward 'soft science' interests, for instance languages, literature, sociology, history/historic figures, individual persons, than do males as a group. That's true too. My favorite subject in high scho... |

| Don't girls find that a level of inconfidence a turn-off anyway ? Some do, some don't. The difficult part is determining who does, who doesn't. This is why some stick with dating services and skip the bar scene. I don't know if the OP is the guy in Ohio complaining because Aspies don't spend enough... |

| I tell you what I do find a bit tedious with Aspoids. And that's I-Return's observation on them, that they can't generalise. IOW, that they can't see the differences between different types of people/situations/etc. A total wood for the trees blindness. Whether it's feigned blindness most of the tim... |

| Okay I-Return and MemberSix. Maybe it's time for you two to get out of the house go to a local bar and start hitting on women? I never hit women. ;) (Well, only if they ask) I've always been pretty reticent about approaching ladypeople. I'd always wait until they'd shown some sort of interest in me... |

| I've never met any aspies in person, or at least that I know of. I'm pretty easy going so it takes a lot to piss me off (or just a little bit of certain things). -They whine a lot. So do some NTs -They can't take any criticism. That I can see -They only see things from their point of view. Again, s... |

| Ok, where to start... etc. OK, dude. All is not lost. First off - anxiety is probably the most salient factor in your internal landscape right now. Fear is the most powerful human emotion there is. But fear not. It's surprising how MUCH you can achieve even when stressed to the max. AS is a spectru... |

| Sora, I used to be like that. My structured mind says "A friend of a friend means it's my friend that has to relate to them, not me." But nowadays I know better than to ignore them, it's considered impolite. A mild understatement, if ever I heard one. It's considered extremely hostile - or at best,... |

| I won't use a urinal if I have to stand next to someone unless there's actually a line. I actually prefer sitting, but it's easier to stand some times. I find my bladder isn't fully purged if I whizz sitting - necessitating completion on standing. That's why I suspect it's unhealthy for mums who fo... |

Ever tried running round a football field at full-welly for a while ?
Your mouth gets full of saliva and you're too out of breath to swallow it.

| I have Asperger's, but aspies in general piss me off because: -They whine a lot. Isn't that what the board's for ? (Correct me if I'm wrong) -They can't take any criticism. I think that's because so many develop a siege mentality, having been picked on wherever they go. -They only see things from t... |

I crave a fixed diagnosis, because it feels so hard to deal with something that may or may not be there. But I've heard that there's no such thing as certai... |

| Membersix, My dx has allowed me to begin to learn more about myself and accept who I am. I only got my diagnosis two months ago so its still very early to say whether or not it would help me over the long haul. I have some follow up sessions with the psychologist who dx'd me coming up soon, so I ca... |

| I can guarantee that a few weeks after the release of such a med, there'd be no more Aspies seen EVER again. Why ? Because you'd all realise what a monumental job of work being an Aspoid actually is. Becoming NT would be THE holiday of a lifetime. Imagine it - every day you wake up is a holiday, ho... |
