| hi ekm79 - I read your post with real sadness. Obviously I don't know you and have no idea whether you have Asperger's or not, but wow that is not on, what you were subjected to. My diagnosis follows many of the posts here - a whole bundle of tests to be done at home, followed by a lengthy face to f... |

| so, the general wisdom coming through on this thread is, some people are just really understanding with us aspies, while others don't get it quite so easily? I'm really sorry patternist, you sound tortured. I am in exactly the same place right now and, to be honest, it is becoming a relationship kil... |

| swatthtefox: Don't be disillusioned - you need to find someone who understands adult asperger's, and high functioning at that. When I first went to my local support group, I couldn't believe how many stages along the spectrum people were. I felt like, inside, I was exactly like them, but I also knew... |

| I tried so hard to be a christian, for a few years. But I failed, they failed me, and frankly I don't see how it's possible for an Aspie to be a christian. It's black and white for me - either the bible etc is correct, or it isn't. And if it is correct, then boy I need to change my life. If it isn't... |

| While I can't give you any advice on what to do to get out of this, I can say I know how you feel. And that when I finally got a job, it was amazing how quickly everything changed - all the colours came back. It was like an instant fix. Could you do volunteer work? Could you study?

| I'm certain my sex drive is far above most NT men. And at the same time I think my ability to understand socially accepted sexuality norms is far lower. I'm lucky in that since my early twenties I've never struggled to get sex, but I've also never managed to understand my lusts for those I'm not 'wi... |

| Hi, my name's Craig. I live in Auckland, New Zealand, and was diagnosed with AS last year. I'm high functioning, but nevertheless it was a relief to know I'm not just a slow learner when it comes to social things etc. And to know there actually are other people out there like me. Also threw up a lot... |

| I had suspicions at about 9. So, i took the ink pad and a sheet of paper and wrote santa a note. It went pretty much like this: "Santa, I know you're real, but people at school don't think you are. So to prove them wrong could you please leave your thumb print using this ink pad and paper. I'll then... |
