| Oh yes, I do. I miss my (recently, sadly) former AS sweetie. We were together for 16 months. I love him more than I thought I could ever love anyone. He broke up with me on Valentine's Day eve. I tried so hard to undersrtand him, to give him what he needed. But he would interpret some casual, offhan... |

| Vinzer, I started out working for my parents' business and it was kind of pointless work. My dad had a drug store and the store gave out free TV listing guides to all the local motels and restaurants in the area (and to customers) as a promotional item. We used a rubber stamp to put the name, addres... |

Hi Jetfox,
Sorry this is too late for your project, but there's only one true villain song, "Someone's Got to Do It," by Douglas B. Green (Ranger Doug). It's on the Rider's in the Sky CD Horse Opera, 1990, MCA Records. I think it's now out of print.
Yours,
Melinda, FGM |

| She is *not* trying to be your friend. She is trying to convert you to her religion and sell you her MLM products. You can treat her just like you'd treat any other sales person who's product you aren't interested in. You do not have to be nice to her. You do not have to make up any excuses. You do ... |

If you need adjustments, you can send it back and they'll fix it. Once you figure out your size, they'll keep it on record and you can reorder. Th... |

| I've never wanted to be a man, but I've always tried to be my own person and I did lots of things women weren't supposed to do. I have an AS friend who is transgender (or "gender flexible" as sie calls it). I just read an excellent book on the subject: The Riddle of Gender: Science, Activism, and Tr... |

| ryansjoy, This seems obvious and you've probably already done it, but if your son is not getting sleep and is tired all the time, have you talked to his pediatrician about adjusting his medication? Growing kids need their sleep and if his medication is keeping him up all night, that can't be healthy... |

| In chimpanzees (which we humans are one species of) and other primates, staring is seen as agression. That's why your parents told you "It's rude to stare." This applies in almost all situations. Since males are usually larger and stronger than females, it is especially intimidtaing when a man stare... |

| wobbegong, I think you may be right about Audditory Processing Disorder. I recently looked it up and saw that, at least in some cases, it is really a verbal processing disorder that also affects reading. My sweetie reads very slowly, too. When he was living with me he was using my computer and it wo... |

| Thanks Xuincherguixe and Popsicle for your comments. First, I don't think I'm in any danger. My sweetie does not seem to be violent towards me in any way. Guns are one of his special interests and he mostly collects antique guns. I don't think it's likely that he'd deliberately put a gun in his mout... |

| I'm a 47-year-old NT (or maybe a "cousin" since I'm really not "normal" or typical and I share some AS traits) woman. I am deeply in love with someone who I'm pretty sure is on the autism spectrum. It's a complicated relationship because I'm polyamorous (http://www.sexuality.org/l/polyamor/). We met... |
