| True, it mainly applies to dating and long-term relationships, but also "players" do tend to pick out a girl they find attractive - and some girls will find that flattering. Whereas the perpetually single will here seem to pick out a girl who looks a low enough league that they might stand a chance... |

| One "problem" I have noticed with a few male posters here who complain of being permanently single is desperation. I don't think this is the main reason they're single - the reasons are deeper and more complex. But it can't help. There's a reason desperation is unattractive: There are posts that ind... |

| Your sources don't really prove your point. The OCD article you linked to discusses problems for both genders, and problems doesn't necessarily mean never having a partner, which is the problem you're talking about I think? Your stats from the dating site may just mean more men have AS/autism, more ... |

| Maybe you just got this impression because there are more men with autism than there are women? Or because women don't get so obsessed with being a virgin that they post about it excessively? Or hundered of other possible factors. You've based your assumptions on few articles/documentaries - maybe t... |

| Do any of you just ignore Christmas or other holidays? I stopped giving or receving presents or taking part in Christmas dinners or other festivities. The expectation that I should be greatful for a gift when I'm miserable and when it's from a relative who hates me makes it too fake for me to bear i... |

| I'd much rather just do what i would normally do, and meet women during that process. I agree; I think this is the best approach for many people. I think the reason so much focus is on dating in some formal and deliberate way on this forum is because many people here have found that just go about d... |

| 1. Are there people you can look in the eye and touch because you want that intimacy and you trust them? Yes. 2. If you loose their trust, do you find you can't let them touch you/look you in the eye? I don't think so, but I can't think of an example where that's happened. 3. Do you ever get so abso... |

| I guess an inability to focus on fun diversions would be unpleasant. Aspies are supposed to be overly prone to becoming absorbed into special interests. So, far from being AS related, it sounds like what you have is quite atypical of aspies. Is there a name for this syndrome? There outta be. Are yo... |

| Time went normaly for me as a child, it was in my mid-teens when it started slowing down. The things I described in my post above evolved very gradually. For me it's an entirely negative sensation. |

| If you want to be in a relationship simply for the purpose of being in a relationship, you completely do not understand what it means to be in a relationship and therefore do not deserve to be in one. I don't think anyone wants to be in a relationship with someone who only wants a relationship for ... |

| Does anyone else find their time perception is skewed? Time seems to go more slowly for me than for other people, and more slowly than it used to go for me. I mean the minutes/hours. Weeks and years go fast. Sometimes I have nothing to do so it makes sense that I'd be bored. But even when I'm busy o... |

| I feel like that pretty much all the time. But I'm never suicidal - I don't literally want to die, I just don't particularly want to be alive. I think I'm also worried that I'd mess up a suicide attempt and end up in psychiatric care. I just kind of get by, with this hope that it will all end but no... |

| Partly. I had friends, and did well at school (very well) and had no developmental delays. The main problem was that I didn't speak- I had selective mutism. But this wasn't regarded as a big deal by my parents. It was just a speech problem. Then, when being assessed for the cause of my being mute, i... |
