| Yep, when I am stressed out about something. I have two coworkers (non-Aspie) to talk to themselves all the time too. Out loud. One's a grumbler -- muttering irritated comments all day -- and the other spits out sentence fragments of what he's thinking about, as if the circuit in his brain that keep... |

nerdygirl, thank you for your response. That's exactly the kind of insight that I need.
Now that you mention it, when I've tried the apologizing thing before, usually people have no idea what I'm talking about when I start the apology. Then I have to explain, and holy cow, awkward. |

Ok, let me clarify something.
When I say I want to "cry on their feet", I don't mean that literally. All I mean by that is that I feel really bad for whatever it is that I've done/said to people, and I feel that strongly. I want to fix the situation, but I don't know how. |

| So, social awkwardness. I've got enough social skills that I can sometimes, when I'm lucky, manage a friendship when it stays one-on-one. When that starts expanding out to groups, like at parties or other social events, my social awkwardness gets downright epic, and I end up alienating, pissing off,... |

| Can an Aspie be a [good] parent? Depends on the person. I know some Aspies who are great parents, a few not so much though. No different than the general population in that regard -- some are good parents, some aren't. |

| What made me happy: while driving home from work at midnight, I realized that I was pretty much the only one on the road. ~That~ made me happy. That, and the fact that I got home safely, in spite of all the new, wet, slippery snow on the ground. |

| The only advice I have for you is to keep talking with your bf, every step of the way. Make sure feels like he's "in the loop", and if he starts feeling insecure at any point, you'll be the first to know. Also, make sure that he knows that he's your priority. Insecurity or jealousy can pop up in any... |

It doesn't need to be a strong, confident voice saying that... you can be discouraged and frustrated, and still try again. If yo... |
