| I've been going through similar, Mgran: I moved from one apt in my building to another, and I just couldn't even start with the packing because I would just freeze when I couldn't decide where to start. So, the day of the move people show up to help me, and they're just throwing things in boxes. Now... |

| I don't know, it's been so long since I was a girl...LOL...but srsly, when I was, I was louder than most girls, but also was still shy, which threw guys off: they thought someone as loud as me should be an assertive gal when it came to men. Therefore they would think I wasn't interested. In fact, I ... |

| I have been reading this thread with an increasing level of disappointment, to say the least. I'm a woman in my early fifties, who is pretty nice looking myself, although not looking for a relationship any more. I'm finding this thread disappointing because it seems like the values I'm seeing here a... |

| Wow, Patricia, you are a strong woman to be able to stand firm in the moment with that sort of situation. I didn't handle those kinds of situations too well when I was in college. I would be groping wildly for possible explanations, and often go off center assuming the worst possible conclusion. I j... |

| When I get far away, I start inadvertently making funny sounds and rocking back and forth and flapping my hands. I have always done similar to that as well, flapping my hands and whining, whenever someone "catches" me being weird, or even worse, I felt, was when someone "caught" me in the flapping ... |

| These are good suggestions, thanks especially AmberEyes, about helping people with something. I've found also that just being a good listener for a while with people, asking them questions about themselves, can help people to feel more open and receptive to hearing my situation. As for what kinds of... |

| Hmmm, I have mixed reaction to this idea. I'm in my early fifties, wasn't diagnosed until late. I did spend a lifetime trying to fit in, but was a bad chameleon most of that time. ViperAspis, I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the "% range you fall into" as far as whether that lifetime... |
