| Hi all, So, last night I am at a get together at a friend's house. He and his wife are seperated, but still do some family social functions together. Both are nice people, and her personality is loud, and a sense of humor where she comes off a little obnoxious at times (when her brother gets a littl... |

| Good points! He is often pretty busy, so if he seems busy, I will just say good morning, and I'll be on my way. If he engages me in conversation a little, I stay and chat. It does come down to reading body language and picking up on social cues, which can be difficult at times. I find that as well -... |

| He doesn't initiate contact, but then again, neither do most of my work friends that I talk to outside of my aisle, so it's hard to judge by that. It was funny, he was busier earlier this week, and then Thursday, I was on my way out to walk, and as I passed the elevator, and he came out. We did have... |

| Thanks - I think that's it - I am so conscious of my feelings, that I think that maybe I overstepped here and there. Making it worse in my mind is that while seeking advice on another forum, someone said it sounded like I was stalking, but I really don't think he thinks that. I'm sure I am just bein... |

| Hi all, Since learning last year that I have Aspergers has really made me understand so much of my life - the difficulties, the anxieties, the obsessive interests, etc. It was the missing piece of the puzzle, but a frustrating piece. Here's my dliema. I have a friend at work, casual at best, but we'... |

| Hi all, I have a situation happen last night that I probably let bother me a little more than it should have. I wnet to a fundraiser last, hosted by a (casual) friend and co-worker. I got there late due to a previous engagement, and he was busy (understandably) being the host, greeting people/saying... |

| I al a self-diagnoses aspie, read about it last year, reading many (but not all) of the symptoms reads like my autobiography. Also, many of the threads here and on other forums I can totally relate to - most of us with it are pretty much in the same boat. I have told family and a couple of friends a... |

| Hi all, I am employed with the same company for over 20 years, and I've mostly worked with women. I find them easier to talk to then other men. In observing women in conversation, they usually keep the conversation going pretty well, with few lulls/gaps in the conversation. When I am talking to othe... |

| Isn't it a great feeling, finding out that there are others like you? :D In my opinion, don't bother with an official diagnosis if you don't think it'll help you, especially at 47. I'm curious- by "legally blind," what do you mean? Can you see at all? If so, how well? Yep, it is a great feeling to ... |

| Hi all, I am new to the group and pretty sure I has aspergers. Reading a lot of the symptoms of asperger's syndrome is like reading my auto-biorgraphy. I am 47 years old, and finally feel as sense of relief at finding the "missing piece." Just to start off right, I want to explain my other difficult... |
