You look like a celebrity. Is that really you? It looks like a 1950's picture out of a movie.

Oh my Goodness! 8O I want that snake! :D


How much room do you have? That was my Reticulated Python when i first got her earlier this year. I would expect her to eventually reach at least 16 feet, so they're true giant snakes. They are much more alert than many other large snake species aswell, so i would recommend that you have experience with large snakes before getting one. You can buy them from breeders online or at reptile expos, and they aren't all that expensive, though. The expensive part is buying or building a large enclosure and feeding them large food items. They are very nice pet snakes, but only for the right people who will keep them properly. There are also some different laws regarding keeping giant snakes in some states.


Wow. Obviously not a "Put-in-a-shoe-box-under-the-bed-snake" - Gorgeous none the less.

No, I was just being silly. That's Gloria Swanson playing Norah Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. If I post a picture of myself I'll get all weird and insecure (judging from past experience).

I can remember that you got nice critique from a picture you posted of yourself over a half year ago from someone, so why so shy? :D

here's one of me, though I know it's a couple years old. I still dress the same way.

You have no idea.


i have to agree with Sunshower, here.
Surely, the incredible beauty, coupled with the "invisible disability of AS" could actually lead to a whole host of other problems, particularly for young women. There could be issues of being targeted and manipulated sexually and/or on dates etc., sexual assault, date rape. Of course there may also be heightened expectations regarding "appropriate behaviour" from others, which may create added pressure to try to fit in and adhere to the group.

We need to be careful about assumptions regarding how it is for others on the spectrum......

Yes, being at least a relatively pretty/attractive woman with AS can cause a whole host of other "invisible problems" (alongside the usual ones you hear people talk about on WP). It certainly doesn't make dating any easier; the social complexities involved in the right ways to react when being hit on/having someone you just consider a friend try to take the friendship further/trying to deal with attention from more than one person at a time/and then ESPECIALLY with trying to deal with the things millie makes reference to, such as sexual manipulation, are beyond comprehension.

It's a whole new ball game, and it certainly doesn't someone make it any "easier" to find a relationship. Just because someone makes an advance towards you, doesn't mean your feelings are reciprocated. And vice versa. It isn't that easy.

And you don't even need "incredible beauty" to be in this situation. The combination of being pretty/relatively attractive and socially naive/socially blind is enough. I couldn't imagine the sort of difficulties and dangers someone like Heather Kuzmich would face on a daily basis.

While most consider me attractive though I am overweight and never wear makeup , the most complete and classic aspie I know is also the most beautiful and stylish woman i know. When her horse was taken away she switched obsessions to vintage clothes and gowns , she wore gowns heels makeup and all the accessories everyday, though she was absolutely stunning even when dirty and disheveled and coming out of a depression.


I would love to know who it is that you are talking about? She sounds very interesting. Will you tell us?

That picture looks a lot older than a couple of years.
