| I'll turn it back to you... what does an "NT" woman do when she actually likes and understands a man with AS, has broken the "news" in a gradual and friend-like way, KNOWS that he likes her in his own way but just won't take that extra very very little step...? (the extra little step? you wonder? hu... |

| KatVonA - I'm in a very similar situation, with some differences. The man I am/was dating, and still keep in touch (mainly via e-mail these days..which is strange to me) is in his early 30's, but is what I usually call an "old soul". My friends also tell me I think too much like a "guy", because I t... |

| Thank YOU! MrKnowItAll! I can go on and on in silence and be very comfortable with it...I've done this with him...and I've done this in my dozens of trips, by myself, in the middle of nowhere...the latest one being, driving through the Mojave Desert going towards the Grand Canyon by myself...trust y... |

| Thank you. I think that I will probably just allow him to tell me (if he indeed has Asperger's). It seems to be a consensus that I shouldn't really ask. 1- It can potentially offend him 2- He may feel forced to tell me the truth (he doesn't really know how to lie) and will put him in a difficult pla... |

| I think the consensus here and elsewhere is that I should not ask him. I could be just my morbid curiosity which would make it very selfish and that is BAD. I won't ask, and hope that he is as open as you are, although I doubt it. He is a perferctionist and I can't see him saying sometheing that cou... |

| true, very true... but in my experience and through observation when that's the case, a guy will want to be as far away as possible now that he stated his position. He doesn't hang around, help out, and pay you "formal" compliments. But, all in all...I'd rather have him around as a friend than not a... |

| Hello, Not sure if someone here can help shed some light on my "question" (not really a question I guess), but I'll post here anyways. The main question is whether or not I should ask a friend of mine (who I've dated for a while) if he has asperger's. It it NOT because i need a label, but because it... |

| I can say that, for me, I definitely do not need the label, HOWEVER, as an NT, who is very reasonable, whose mother has worked with autistic and AS kids, and treasure many of the qualities of AS, I would very much appreciate knowing. It would help shed more light into my dynamics with the person. It... |
