I have a BIG sweet tooth. I'm a big chocolate fan, for that.
That said, some fruits stand in quite nicely - bananas, pears, apples, etc. |

When talking, I establish and often maintain eye contact. When listening, I often look away. It insults some people, but most people understand (by the second or third response) that I really AM listening to them, intently.
I'm in my late twenties, about to enter my thirties. |

| My wife and I watch this show weekly (I'm AS, she's NT). Randomly, I turn to her and ask if it's like looking at me. She just shrugs and says that the resemblence is uncanny sometimes. When posting this, I saw two options - "New Topic" or "Post Reply." As mine is a standalone comment on a thread, it... |

| For what it's worth, I met my wife through Match.com. I was in Minnesota and she was in Oregon, where I was headed after an internship. At the time, it was about $26 a month (I'm sure it's gone up), or $51 for six months. I found it better than eHarmony, which was $50 a month (again, this was 2005),... |

| I'm working as an Archaeological Technician and loving it. Lots of variety and switching gears all the time (facilitates my atypical ADHD without hyperactivity), research and organizing of records and artifacts (OCD), and working within my field (BA, Anthropology). I'm enjoying it thoroughly. |

| So, this is my first post on any board on the web. I was diagnosed a little less than a year ago. I'm a high-functioning Asperger's-diagnosed person who struggles with those ______ social subtleties. My girlfriend has been a lot of help to me, though, and I am very grateful for her willingness to he... |
