Central Ohio here, and I would be interested in doing something. There have been a couple groups started on Meetup.com for the Columbus ... |

| I quit going to church for a while because I got tired of being a social pariah. Now I go to a big church where a lot of other people are sitting by themselves so I blend in nicely. But I still question why I bother showing up when I could just watch a video of it later. Maybe because I can shake ha... |

| I was well into adulthood before I had a concept of what flirting is. And even now, I think I manage to pull it off once in a great while, but I'm not really sure. |

| 33 and still haven't had a proper first kiss. That doesn't mean you should wait as long as me, but I also don't think it needs to be seen as a rite of passage either, like it often is in America. The one thing that really got me was when I was creating an online profile for something, and one of the... |

| I received a diagnosis just a couple of months ago, at age 32, so this is a pertinent question for me. I actually struggled with anger a little more before my diagnosis, or at least exasperation; whether it was at other people for their dismissive judgments of me, or at myself for the nagging doubts... |

| Ah yes, the story of my life (except that I'm a guy, which I'm not sure makes it better or worse). Fascinating how people conclude that the only possible reason you don't talk much is because you must be shy. Most of the time I have learned not to argue about it, as that only seems to validate what ... |

| Thank you everyone for your replies. It's real interesting. I can't help but feel kinda less human than you guys though... I don't have so much emotion about things anymore. things are what they are. Of course I do feel emotions but everyone else seems to feel things more intensely. Weird that. And... |
