| Who is shelby or is it that you have an obsession with your job - like the famous aspi guy in New York City back in the 80's who loved the subway system so much, that he would pretend to work for them and even fix the subways and stop them - which he was sent to jail for say 19 total times and even ... |

| Mr. Tim_Tex: it could be fate – you may find that she has a talent or passion that drives you wild – but of course looks are biologically as important as speaking English with someone who knows English and not just Aramaic. You are desperate in the sense that you are afraid to miss out on something ... |

| Snake – are you good with art or writing – your anger could be most beneficial for the arts – if you have no such talent – then you probably just haven’t found it – Could not some of the most successful artists and writers of the past have been aspies. Their lack of human intimacy may have driven th... |

| Good Ventilation – hot air. This girl let me into her close circle twice and latter got creeped out by my aspi’s when I told her why I was weird (after she told me why she thought I was weird) and now she ignores me and is very rude – so, being that I communicate best by writing fiction – I’m writin... |

| High School – yes, a very dark time (maybe because the lights went out quite often during the day). I was the band kid who wrote poetry and hung out with the goth kids and who also played football – so, the jocks/preps didn’t know whether or not they wanted to slap me on the butt in the shower (the ... |

| For some strange reason, I feel most comfortable at work or Army. I force people into my comfort zone, which forces their comfort zone onto me. Normally I’m quite bizarre (according to the normal folk) in my attitudes. For example, I’ll just spout out random lines from a movie, a book, a song, or a ... |

| But what is the best way to not aspi out in front of a nice lady. I already messed up on one – she let me sit next to her and aloud me to converse with her – now she is creeped out – she won’t even wave or say hi back. My best conversation skills for new people are asking questions which for some re... |

| Making friends at school is hard. I hate just talking about the “assignment” or “class” with people all the time. Two weeks ago I tried opening up myself to a girl but my damn aspi’s kicked in. The second time was even more awkward because she already formed an opinion and the third time was in a st... |

| English comp may be your best way to communicate and once you succeed in making good grades, you can start talking to the teachers outside class and even in class. Let others see that you analyze the topic on a whole new/rational level. |

| Some Aspi’s may not have yet had the opportunity to find what it is that they’re good at. It wasn’t until getting kicked out of college (F’s), going into the Army, getting arrested (they’d been wanting me for years – yes), then finally dropping 2 classes that propelled me to become a writer. I do ve... |
