| Thanks for the new responses guys! I appreciate it! At least I know now that that was nonsensical. This guy was REALLY bad, at best he was a jerk, and I think just plain incompetent. Unfortunately I've gotten nowhere with this since. I have no idea what to do to possibly get help of any kind, no ide... |

| Couldn't agree more, Twilight is a pimple on the arse of the vampire myth. The last good vampire movie was Let Me In, which featured a creepy,yet bittersweet performance from Chloe Moretz. I liked Let Me In and Let the Right One In, but I like the Twilight series better (the books) but they're radi... |

| Yes it's pretty common, but not universal. There is an online test you can try, google "mind in the eyes" This will show how good you are at reading facial expressions. Jason Well see that's the weird thing-when I've tried those tests, I'm really really good at them. Like I get most of them and it ... |

| Yeah, through into my early 20s I had problems looking at people's faces when I talked to them. Still makes me uncomfortable, though I kind of "practiced" with this guy at work who's friendly when we'd be talking a long time, and I think I can sort of do it okay now. I don't know, like looking at so... |

| Are people with AS bad at recognizing facial expressions? I don't know for SURE if I'm on the spectrum or not but have been suspicious for years. Anyway I JUST found out from my girlfriend about all these faces I apparently make, that I didn't know I make, and she asked if I could read her body lang... |

| If his pupils dilate, he's interested. This can be slightly hard to discern if he's an aspie, because he might just be looking through you. If you were making eye contact, it would be easier to tell because his pupils would be dilated WHILE he makes eye contact (assuming he's not aspie), but you pr... |

I'm reading about what they are (the one, and in that article there was a link to the other), and it seems like a lot of the characteristics could easily b... |

I am simply not fit for relationships: it would be frustrating for me and even worse for the woman involved. Yeah. this is how I'm feeling. Every time I fail, it just makes me more sure it's nev... |

I do click with people much better with higher matches, so I think there's something to that. BUT I'm no... |

I'm confused by how someone would know what to do (even if I appreciate the gesture). I guess I don't und... |

Now it's not that I don't care, I do-but I'm not necessarily going to even KNOW someone's sad/depressed unless they tell me. And the... |

Yeah, location would be the minimum I'd need to sort by. Well, location and gender. (Actually a separate system for friends would be fine too.) |
