| Transgender doesn't only have to mean transsexual, MtF, or FtM. Just like autism has a big spectrum, so does gender. Falling under the "trans" umbrella are also categories like genderqueer or gender-nonconforming. That means you could be both masculine and feminine, or neither, or identify... |

Does anybody have good books they have read with dating and relationship advice, or online advice websites? I want to know books and sites that specifically would help me for asperger's and autism and dating. Thanks!  |

| I am. I am in a concerning situation right now though--there's somebody new I like, and I think the feeling is mutual, but not sure if he's down with poly stuff. But he knows I am. Sigh. Having open relationships makes some things harder and some things easier, I think, at least for me as an aspie. |

| Maybe some of you can relate. I have the hugest headache and feeling of despair even at the thought of dating right now. It just drains all my energy. Of course at the same time I want to date, and I would like to "put myself out there" but when push comes to shove I just shut down and do nothing in... |

I understand what you are saying, and I am sorry that you had that experience.  I am not changing the survey again, and so I hope other people will take it!  |

My grandma just died and I am in shock and very sad.
I feel like my ASD is making me feel more intensely sad and alone now than ever.

At first I thought it was the fault of the person I am with, but I guess I realized that things are awful all because of me. Sad because I'll say ins... |
