Is Wrong Planet kind of like the blind leading the blind?

Depends on the person. Keep in mind that people can be loaded with good advice that's true regardless of whether they themselves can apply it. With AS as well, social skills are 1/3 knowledge and 2/3 will your nervous system let you apply that knowledge? When you're wired differently it means you'll have slightly different wants different needs, and just like enough intelligent NT's can tell you - you don't need to be a basketcase to fail spectactularly in dating. Its actually almost the opposite - if you don't have enough of an animalistic side to draw on you're more often doomed.

No....it's like the people with foggy vision leading the visually impaired leading the blind. Much different.

Well, I feel like a total freak, even for an Aspie, as I've made it to nearly 29 with no romantic contact with a female ever, so obviously I must be doing something wrong. Everyone here has more experience than I do, so I don't necessarily think it's a case of the blind leading the blind.

mmm.am going to ask a philosophical question here...Is sight the only sense to lead by?
I have a family friend and had an great aunt who are and were blind plus a good friend of mine from my university days as a visually impairment. All three of theses people perceive the world in a diffenent way that relies on the other senses!
Can NTs perceive the word like we on the spectrum perceive the world, NO! Each and every one of use had an unique and individual percetive on life.

Yes and no. It's a bit like the question of whether an Aspie is better off having a relationship with a NT or another Aspie. At least we understand the syndrome from the inside, but I don't think everybody on this forum makes enough adjustment for Aspie behaviour, and I think that's what drives a lot of the nasty posting that goes on.

I think it sort of is. Even in the literal sense it is people with the same type of impairment helping each other.

I think this is a good thing because the people posting the questions are not ridiculed for being different or strange because the people answering understand the difficulties they are facing and may have had similar problems them selves, so can hopefully offer tried and tested solutions.

I sort of think of life as a puzzle you need other people to give you the keys to get through it. And aspies tend to have the keys that other aspies find useful. And NTs have the keys that NTs find useful. More often than not NTs keys dont work in the aspies puzzle of life.

problem is hyper, you're not the regular type of woman. And i say that in a good way. But that kinda leaves the advice of what works on you to be debatable on working with the general
