| Actually, I haven't played 4th edition but simplicity isn't necessarily a bad thing. As a DM you don't have to follow what any of the books say. 3.5 I feel takes a while to set up & here's the thing if you're trying to get a game going 4.0 gives you everything you need that stated Wizards isn't ... |

| But does the above method actually work or do those who use what was given in that book find it not working as in others thinking that you are too mechanical? |

| Honestly the relationship jungle is tough as it is and if the other party feels that you are picking up on their "signals" then it will turn out to be an epic failure. I would second working on the social skills but to anneurysm can Bonnie's parents help her with the social skills as well? I know th... |

| I wouldn't say that Neurotypicals have a social autopilot but then again it varies and even those who are not aspies have difficulty reading signals from people as well (to the point where misunderstandings can happen) |

anneurysm
I second setting up "social dates" would be beneficial to her as well. The simple fact that you are trying to guide her through the trickiness of friendship (which is something that can be difficult) is a great thing. Let us know what happens |

| dark mage, I did my undergrad in Management, but it's something that bores me stiff. If you stopped there, with me, you'd lose me. I would be more inclined to ask or comment something related to the event or venue: "how do you know the host(ess)?" or "how do you like the paintings?" (at a gallery, ... |

| Yes it does seem like an acquaintance flowchart because flowcharts lead to programming algorithms (not so much mathematical). Now after the exchange name a friendship is not necessarily achieved but at least you know someone new (and took a risk) now to expand on the original (version 1.5) Walk arou... |

| For those who aren't familiar with this On the show "The Big Bang Theory" Sheldon Cooper created a friendship algorithm (and wound up needing to modify it) to complete some research. If you could design such an algorithm what would it be or how would modify your existing one? Here's mine for start W... |

| There is nothing wrong with playing video games at any age. I would rather play video games then go out on dates (but I think that might either a) end or b) be a secretive pass time to hide from my girlfriend but we'll see on that). Anyways video games help me exercise my mind much more then useless... |

| Especially the fact that in the Season 2 final Sheldon had the others working in subzero temperatures until Leonard comes up with the idea to assemble everything inside and then take it outside (Sheldon's response I haven't thought of that is perfect for him reminds me of a brain freeze) |
