| Can I get a version of this for the phone? An automated voice that comes on when you pick up the phone and says: "This person has aspergers syndrome, please hang up immediately". The GPS lady could do it, if she's free. |

| Can completely relate. Everything I say to my parents about what I struggle with they reply with: "but EVERYONE feels like that to some extent". I guess I was naive to think a Dx would lead to understanding and support and not a list of things I could/should be doing in order to "get over it". I don... |

| Imitation whore, right here. I'm like the Aladdin of imitating people, stealing the unleavened bread and bird tongues of other people's mannerisms and ways of speaking. Including, for a time after the film came out, Aladdin. |

| Meditation has helped me immensely, once I found out how to do it properly. I used to think meditation was something you have to try and do, and that you have to sit in an uncomfortable position and have your eyes closed and burn incense and have your nipples clamped etc. in order to achieve a state... |

| Gathering what I could from he last few words of your post, I agree. I post on this site in order to entertain the infantile part of me that thinks posting on here will make some kind of difference to my life. I pretty much regret every single post immediately after I've done it, including/especiall... |

It is too late in your life. Give up.". And do it until I'm sick with misery and feel numb to everything else. And then... |

I recently heard a person saying they were having a dream in which they were having sex but they were alone. Another person broke in and said "You... |

| The point is that there is a certain non-verbal give and take that you need to understand in order to be able to tell if the other person has any interest in you. The thing about small talk is how it works on the female brain. Women get a certain rush of endorphins from talking. If you can trigger ... |

Good video for turning us all into robots who want robot girlfriends, but I can get a robot girlfriend anytime I want without even saying anything, even if it is slightly more expensive than getting a "re... |
