I thought your description of a "zing" going down your spine and tense muscles was "spot on"! I don't undetstand it, either, man. Sorry. In college (g... |

| Welcome I'm glad you're here, now ("signed in"/ a member), because I think, from how you've described yourself, you'll find lots of people, here, who are similar to you; I think you'll make similar-personality friends :) To me, it sounds like you're on "The Spectrum", but I'm new to all of this, too... |

| I think it depends on what you mean by "marriage". For some it's a romantic idea, for others it's a commitment within a religious context, for still others it's a legal arrangement that confers some benefits over just living together.

I commend you for learning about ASD (and trying to understand your friend and yourself.) You're right in that -- you just hafta be yourself and allow others to be themselves.
It sounds like you're being patient .
I'm glad you've found this site helpful. (I have, too.)
Good luck |
