| Kjas, thank you for your input. I have to tell you I am still a little in shock because this is the first time I was conscious of what I was observing and understood the implications. His lack of nonverbal communication made me questioned the nature of our relationship in the past. I thought he was ... |

| Thank you for all the help. I am sorry for making you my support group but I looked around and found very little in terms of people who understand the issue. It was one thing to read your comments—it was quite another to experience what some of you were talking about. I was in a meeting today and he... |

| Aspiesandra and ManicDan, this is really eye-opening -- I can actually see how these seemingly obvious and taken-for granted phrases can cause a great deal of confusion to someone who thinks critically about them. What I miss about him?—Conversations and his sense of humor. I was chatted up by a man... |

| Stalk—that makes sense. Thank you for pointing it out; I will try to harmonize my nonverbal cues with excplicit verbal messages so he can learn to recognize them. ManicDan, thank you. I hope that you will find someone who will embrace you for who you are because unconditional acceptance and love is ... |

| Kjas and aspiesandra, thank you so much, ladies. I spent the last few hours jotting down notes based on your posts and coming up with a series of strategies that I hope will make this thing easier. I guess, I am at least getting the making lists thing down. I few more practical questions occurred to... |

| Kjas, your insight is absolutely priceless –there is so much I don’t know. What worries me is that according to your interpretation he may be exposing himself to a very unpleasant experience in order to spend time with me. As much as I cherish the precious moments together, I don’t want him to hurt ... |

| Thank you for advice everyone. Aspiemike--great info, thank you. I don’t think that the bullying issue is particularly useful here since NT children, myself included, become victims of playground bullies as well and I simply have no evidence that my friend was ever bullied in school. Besides, it has... |

| Kjas, I found your post incredibly insightful. I am an NT female who just began a relationship with an Aspie man. I care for him deeply and want to establish a strong foundation for our relationship by understanding the aspie perspective. I feel that you managed to articulate a major difference betw... |

| Thank you for your comments! Do people with Asperger’s often feel like other people are out to get them? As an NT, I don’t have this kind of thoughts. Reading posts in this forum made me realize that perhaps differences in perception constitute the biggest obstacle to aspie-NT relationships. That’s ... |

| I am a NT female who finds herself caring deeply about a close friend with what I believe is an Asperger’s syndrome. My friend is generally well liked but also known for his unusual quirks. When I started working with him on a job-related project, I realized that he is also an exceptional human bein... |
