| "Autistic" has become the new "ret*d" sad to say, and I'm not sure what can be done about it. ^^ This. My husband joined a Warcraft guild recently and all the younger players were using it. He casually pointed out that they weren't even using it appropriately, and btw my son is ... |

| I wouldn't discuss it at all with your dad- maybe just your mom if she's more reasonable. All the stuff they did to you is absolutely horrible parenting. Seriously wtf they are giving you terrible advice, regardless of your child's issues. I don't think there's anything you can do to change their mi... |

| If the relationship is that boring then you're probably not with the right person. There are plenty of women out there who are happy to be spontaneous or don't want to be with you 24/7 (find an introvert, or someone emotionally secure). I sure as hell don't want to see my spouse all the time. Both p... |

| 1. Dating sites would probably be your best bet. Do your research to find out which ones focus more on relationships and less on hooking up (Tinder is a hook up site, not sure about the rest). 2. There is no guarantee. I would go into it with an open mind and just looking to learn. Even if a relatio... |

Be real WP ladies, stop always trying to sound so ridiculously ideal. You nurseangela have said that you would never date ugly men, and you have complained several ti... |

| Pretty creepy, but at least she didn't see you. Most people do a little recon online, but few would drive by the house unless they actually had plans to meet up there later. I would take a step back and concentrate on getting to know her. Keep in mind that asking out coworkers can be socially unacce... |

| As the creep is talking, just casually reach up and start picking your nose. Bonus points if you stare him in the eye while doing it. I have tried belching loudly in front of guys I was trying to deter and it only made them like me more, so this could backfire. :lol: This wouldn't be great for her ... |

| Part of the problem is that you're trying to be polite. Just give a stern "bugger off, mate". If that doesn't send the message then you know you've got an incident worth reporting on your hands. Some people really don't understand how much of a nuisance they're being until you make it cle... |

| I have a teaching credential and probably have Asperger's. While I'm not currently teaching, I did student teaching in grades 1-3 and taught pre-K. I'm a little serious by elementary teacher standards, but other than that I've done okay. I would probably be much better at it now that I have children... |
