| When I'm lucky enough to make a friend, I see their mind's inner workings and slowly put together the pieces of their unique puzzle, so that I know what makes them happy, sad, or anything in between, so that I can try and be a good friend to them. I also work out their emotions, experiences and opi... |

| I used to think I was, but interacting with people here and reading on their lives and thoughts I've come to the conclusion that I am most likely not on the spectrum. Maybe I'm on some other spectrum, I don't know, but knowing isn't as important to me as it once was. |

Same. Though I probably am boring so it isn't too difficult.  |

I'm skeptical as to whether these exercises actually work, but that's not the point of this thread.
What do you think a larger penis will help you gain? Friends? A lover? Social acceptance? Maybe you can start by thinking about that, and then come up with other means to achieve what you want. |

| I'm going to be frank with you, it's not about downplaying intelligence, its about giving off that "I'm better than you" vibe. It comes off as obnoxious arrogance and people generally don't take to that too well. For some it's a difficult balance to attain but it's perfectly possible to be... |

| This has happened to me a few times, usually when talking to my mother. When I say something, or try to initiate a conversation, and she interrupts me to talk to someone else, or turns her head and looks/walks away. Looks like a dominance issue. Do you feel you have to shout to be heard or noticed? |

| Unfortunately smaller institutions with smaller and sometimes closer-knit communities can be more that way, it's all about networking and contacts, not grades or other achievements. In a larger group where people don't necessarily know or interact with each other things can actually be easier for an... |

I love, love, love soduku puzzles! I bought a few sodoku magazines and completed a couple. Hundreds of puzzles.
It's a logic game. Divided into boxes, lines and columns, each of these has to be completed with the numbers 1 to 9 (in no particular order). |

| An easy way to start is to find something you like about them and tell them you like it and ask them about it. That usually breaks down their defenses and it softens them. Then thank them for telling you about it. You may have a similar item that you like. You can share about that with them. Just d... |

| Maybe pride is the wrong word. I think autism pride, like gay pride, just means not being ashamed of being autistic or gay — or rather, not thinking of autism or homosexuality as something defective and shameful. So you need a word that means the opposite of shame. Unfortunately, English then just ... |

| Hi, my name is Caomh. First post, so here goes. I've learned I had Asperger's like three months ago, which was surprising before making a lot of sense. I am now working hard to use that knowledge to help me with anxiety and stuff and am in specialised Asperger's therapy, which I have found helpful.... |
