| I am NT sometimes come here with questions about someone with autism. Asparagus farmers that had me cracking up. I just came to bring an NT viewpoint. I believe its the buddhists who say the reason we suffer is because we want things. This applies to all humans. Like today in my line at work one of ... |

| I am 100% sure that my latest ex boyfriend suffers from BPD. He would threaten suicide to get me to see him after I had broken up with him, cut himself for attention, told me he loved me within a week of meeting me. A major concern for me is that I will consistently end up with men like this, since... |

| I'm not sure if I explained correctly. I meant that this other condition, the "hypersexuality", is not necessarily related to, nor due to, nor a part of, Autism . Note also that autism is not the only "condition" that can cause a person to miss social cues, if I judge by the things you said about h... |

| Being fair I think the response would've been similar even if it was him posting. It sounds like you were both in the wrong, personally it sounds like he's far more in the wrong, but that doesn't necessarily change things. You both f**** up, it doesn't matter which one is NT. I think the decision y... |

| I would sit down with your friend and have a good old 'heart to heart' about how the issues between you are affecting the relationship. Thanks this was positive and helpful I'd say you were both in the wrong for many points, yet you've kicked your addiction and it sounds like you realise you were i... |

| um, actually i don't think it's fair to call that mental illness--what i would call him is a sex offender. being hypersexual is no excuse for assaulting people, and this is coming from someone who identifies herself as hypersexual. his behaviour needs to be addressed immediately, because one of the... |

| Just a thought: are you sure his "hypersexuality" has something to do with Aspergers? It could very well be another condition, like sex addiction (whatever the technical name would be - one doesn't exclude the other, you can have Aspergers and other conditions). Also even if he has sex addiction (o... |

I've hurt a lot of people including myself and I regret it every day. To the other poster - You really have not experienced au... |

When i would invite him to gym, he would go into discussions of how worthless an endeavor this was. It has been a sore point because i could not shar... |

Later as read about autism, worried he is trying to overcome sensory overload and other symptoms with alcohol... |
