| I wonder why at 52 I have a much more positive outlook on life than the original poster? Sure, we share dental problems but apart from that I'm physically fit and I'm having fun. I still have a full head of hair but I resigned myself to turning gray a long time ago and I'm certainly not vain enough ... |

| Interesting thread, if only because I have a girlfriend right now who's turned on by rough sex. So for starters here's where I disagree that porn movies can't be educational because I needed to find out about rough sex and buying a book probably wouldn't have been enough. I ended up downloading and ... |

Two things:
1) Group Therapy was really useful when getting used to the outside world again after the hospital.
2) Meditation means that I'm calm and relaxed most of the time.

Always eat a pack of sweets in colour order, almost always the same food every week, same exercises each time I visit the gym, I even scratch myself the same number of times when I get an itch (seven times).
Weird huh!

| Met a pretty redhead once thanks to a spider. There was Mr Slice in his apartment watching TV and there was a knock at the door, on opening it I found a neighbour in a bathrobe with a slight spider problem. She was very impressed by the way I dealt with the spider without killing it and the thank-yo... |

| I got my bike license 18 months before the car one but my parents (yeah, it was that long ago) insisted that I also buy leathers and a full face helmet. After coming off at 45 Mph I appreciated the wisdom of their advice. Yes, bikes can be fun, but get the right gear and watch out for the bozos. Van... |

I have mixed feelings about this. I don't regard myself as disabled or sick but as an aspie I had terrible trouble holding down a decent job. So, having been sacked from yet another company do I apply for unemployment benefits? Hell yeah!

| I stopped watching the Eurovision Song Contest a long time ago. I remember the days when a song would be shown each week on a Saturday night and the TV viewers could vote for the best one, with the songs being sung by a well known star such as Cliff Richard or Olivia Newton-John.

Nope, you are certainly NOT the only one here who does this. It's also been the cause of a few relationship breakups in the past.

No problem with eye contact here and I never have. Looking into the eyes of a pretty woman is one of the finer things in life.

Aspie? Maybe, I am not sure. The reason I say this is the nudity thing, I would find it surprising if an aspie wanted to do this.

An interesting but slightly different reaction. When going out I feel much better if I am carrying something, either a carrier bag in my hand or a sports bag over my shoulder. Walking down the street without baggage feels very weird.
