| Out of curiousity have you run across Aspie women attracted to your so called "Bad Boys"? Yes, me! I am sure I am not alone in saying this, but rule breakers can be very exciting. But more than that, I want “my guy” to show me the clubs, the bars, the lively places. PLEASE don’t talk to me about St... |

| Aeroz – this is hardly a new problem. It has come up in many contexts. For example, there are now ways to ‘correct’, or at least ameliorate, some forms of deafness. Within the deaf community this has caused anxiety; “Deaf culture is under attack”, etc. I believe it was Kay Redfield Jamison (in Touch... |

| At 30 YO, the trauma of school is past. IMO you need to stop looking for a “date” and just live your life. When you wear your heart on your sleeve, you are an instant target for defective, hostile guys whose greatest thrill is to humiliate some woman. Get out as often as possible. Volunteer at Habit... |

| One of the many reasons that I enjoy Blade Runner (aside from the amazing cityscape, the consistent dark tone of the acting & the credible plot … ) is that so many of the characters seem to be aspie. Deckard & Rachael seem particularly ill-at-ease in the world of emotion (for good reason, we... |

Perhaps the WP legal department could assign a few paralegals the task of tracking this down. :) Emails have far less impact than snail-mail. Company PR departments know that writing a "real l... |

| Not for me! In restaurant work (especially high-volume, like here in the NY area) you have to be ‘robust’ and roll with the punches (recover quickly from set-backs, etc). I tend to get very upset and that just starts a cascade of additional problems. You are in the middle of taking one order, and so... |

| I've had total strangers (males) pass me in public places, e.g. the library, and command "Smile!" Would they say that to another male? I don't think so! Unsmiling men are preoccupied, and should be left undisturbed. Unsmiling women are unattractive, and should be corrected. I have noticed this in m... |

| I would imagine that Aspie women who's condition is not Severe, who Have a sex drive/sexual interest in men, and who arent bad looking would be FAR more likely to meet and encounter NT men and to be approached by them. I think that the few aspie women out there IRL are snatched up by NT men ... I b... |

| We both like bowling (though Im not very good) so I guess I could ask him to go sometime. That is excellent! Instead of "asking him out", perhaps you could say "I am embarrassed by my poor bowling skills - if you had any free time, could you give me a few lessons? You play so well..." That might ap... |

Yes, it is my pic, and thank you - but it is about 5 years old, and I use it because it was a bit out of focus - so even when it was taken it hid some imperfections. Vanity! |

And he should stay out of the kitchen, because "that is a woman's job"?
Shy guys don't bother me. Rigid guys, on the other hand, are a complete drag. |

| A woman asking a guy out? That's new. I would think that you wouldn't have to, since it's generally expected that the guy takes the risk of being rejected. After all, if he can't do that, then he must not be worth a damn, right? Wow - your attitudes are like something from the 1950's. Maybe he is n... |

| What amazes me is that, as a society, we are so ‘down’ on prostitutes who make a living by providing a type of pleasure. Here, Savage, makes a living causing pain for others. He is a far greater evil, IMO, than any prostitute. If people care about this they can write to the advertisers are tell them... |
