There is a difference between infatuation and love. When a relationship is new, it is easy to overlook certain things because of the intense need to impress your new partner. When that fades away, people think they are falling out of love. My perspective is, that was never love, it was infatuation. ...

I am going to guess that because Autism is in your file, is why he had the psychologist come in. I think that he could sense your unease, and as a M.D., he is not equipped to handle mental issues so he got her to come in probably in case there was a melt down or maybe even to try and calm you if you...

Hmmmm...you said in another post that you have PTSD. If you have it for reasons similar to why I have it, then this is ultimately going to lead to extreme anxiety for you. You should be honest with him about all of your feelings and why you have them. I think it's sweet that he loves you so much, bu...

I'm an NT and I have done that since I was a kid. I always eat all of one thing before moving on to the next thing, and certain foods can never ever touch!! I didn't realize that was strange though. :?

I deal with PTSD as well, that in itself can cause depression and so many other problems. I think the baby steps advice is good. But, I wonder if all of the medication you are on isn't interacting with each other and causing you more stress than you need? I'm not suggesting you stop taking it, of co...

"So here are just 2 things I can think of that you could easily do to help the situation. First of all, if a newcomer makes a post asking for advice, assuming their partner's behaviour isn't completely outrageous, it would help a great deal if at least one person could put things into perspective by...

Hello. That is a lot to contend with all at once and trying to start school too. Has your doctor recommended a treatment plan for you? I think that seeking a support system is very wise of you. Having that many diagnoses could be difficult. The first thing I would do if you are prescribed medicines ...

Honestly it could be anything from borderline personality disorder to nutrition. I agree that if it interfering in your life you may want to seek a second psyche opinion and talk to your primary care physician as well.

I moved out as soon as I graduated high school. But I am an NT and I didn't get my driver's license until I was 22. I think that everyone should just take life at their own pace and not worry so much about what other people are doing. If you feel it's time for you to move out, then by all means go f...

If she has children, she has been with this man for years. I doubt his behavior just changed one day. Many women feel trapped in marriages. I think she is trying to justify wanting out of it by blaming his disability. I have been with my bf for over a year. He is an Aspie and sometimes it can be dif...

I am an NT with an Aspie boyfriend. There are many hurdles that we have had to overcome, but he would never cheat on me like that. I have PTSD, and he gets frustrated when I get triggered, but he separates himself from the situation and makes a genuine effort to understand me because he loves me. It...

I had a creepy old man follow me around Walmart meowing at me. Sometimes the best thing to do is just try to get out of the situation, and like I said, be aware and don't put yourself in a spot where you will be alone. I went to a fair with my sister, and a man grabbed her breast. She jerked away an...

First off, I would get some pepper spray. It is not normal to be groped, touched, or kissed by strangers. Sadly, sexual assault is a real problem. I don't know the statistics in the UK, but in the US 1 in 5 women will become victims. The best thing you can do, which may be hard, is be aware of your ...

I smoke because it helps me with social anxiety. If i am in a stressful situation, having to leave to go smoke is a perfect excuse for some alone time to gather my thoughts.
