Do Aspies attract other aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

Recently I watched a show on TV, had young Brit Army men in Afghanistan, doing service

Could not believe how many were AS looking! Unbeferkenbelievable!!

I never would have guessed the army was full of HFA's!! !! !! !

I guess they are clever loyal soldiers, never fitted in back home, like the rigid army structure, want to kill some NT's, do what they are told.......

and wont be missed that much!!

PERFECT

That is true. In our house, my fiance and I have two computers set up. When he comes home, we sit in the same room at our separate computers. He does his photography scanning, and I work on my creative writing. We are content this way.

Nagging has always sent me the other way, though maybe it depends how it's done. It's not the only thing that makes me want to keep NTs and mainstreamers at bay. I can't relate to the judgemental, excluding thing they do, or the speed with which they expect me to respond to them.

I would say both my parents have the traits (definitely my father does, however, my mother can just have bad upbringing and childhood experience, not sure) and consequently all of their children are at least a bit "special" and most of their kids too.

I think for them it was logical to get together, because my father (a scientist) is very introverted and not very social and my mother too (for whatever the reason), so I guess when all the other young sociable loud people went of to pub together they started to talk together.

And I too tend to get friends in the circle of quiet philosophical, spiritual even, people who read a lot and of course some of them admit they do have the AS traits too. But surely I like the fact that they are mostly coping better, so they are able to order meal and drink for me .

And love-wise, I actually fancy the image of me and my hypothetical AS partner going to restaurant for lunch, ordering food of the right colour, and courses in reversed order, by writing it down for waitress . (That is how I do it anyway, OK, maybe I should get someone at least a bit more sociable ).

They sure attract me. I like people who know interesting things and can talk about them, and that's practically the definition of a special interest. If I meet a new Aspie, you are likely to see me trying to figure out what they know about and getting them started talking about it. It's like a free lecture!

Well i would have to agree on this point, as a child not knowing what was wrong with me i developed a hatred for my traits.. when i saw others that were quiet or antisocial i took out my hatred from myself on them...

now knowing that im ok and that the social problems i have are not a global problem, but rather a problem with a specific type of conversation, i look at things differently..

but trying to be an nt my whole life (not knowing about aspergers) has changed me, i am more on the fence between both worlds now, and i wonder if i can firstly be entertaining to and aspie and secondly be entertained by one.

the nt convos are very hard to keep up with and even harder to participate with. but they are funner,

nt's will try to help you enjoy your time with them and few do understand us enough and succeed.

i cant see myself having the skills to make another person feel like they are having fun.
