| Priscilla -Queen of the desert. I nearly walked out. The Piano. I saw it on TV but turned it off it was disgusting. The Candy man. It was too violent I'm not into bloodthirsty films. Mamma Mia. I couldn't gel with the people in it the Musical was much better. Maybe "Mamma Mia" on film would have be... |

| I can sometimes have trouble giving expression to a concept. In the past I have found this can be due to the concept not yet being fully formed in my head. It is as though an idea or concept refuses to be born into some form of communication until it is fully gestated. Good point. Sometimes I have ... |

| I recently had a big social thing for work and went into the stress feedback loop for about 2 weeks before the event. Typically I can recharge for a day after something smaller but this has kicked my butt. It's been five days since I came back home and I have worked only one. I saw my pysch and she ... |

| Here is an idea that I have come up with that I want to run it by you. I understand social cues very well I have been studying them all my life. What actually causes me the most stress being in social situations is the fact that neurotypical people lie to each other constantly. Their mouths say one... |

| I'm 52 and I'm always told I look like I'm in my late thirties or early forties. I can rarely tell a person's age by their appearance. Is there something connected with AS and looking younger? |

| I have always felt like an alien or I'm programmed to a different frequency. There are so many things I comprehend and excel at doing- sometimes leaving NTs in the dust. But if it comes down to the warm-fuzzy interactions I have so much trouble. I've been compared to Spock on Star Trek. Logical, une... |

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! I am learning so much and it is so comforting to find fellow Aspies that share my experiences! I told my counselor I feel like I finally found my mothership after being a lone alien on the wrong planet  |

| I am the only one who thinks he was born in the wrong time period? Most of the time I think that I was meant to be born in either the 60's or the 50's. I sometimes feel anachronistic, but I'm unsure of the time period to which I belong. From personal experience the 60's were not a good time to be A... |

If I can find something neutral to concentrate on, it could be a lapel pin someone is wearing, or stare out the window or a poster in the room I am able slow myself down and avoid the embarrassment I'm know I... |
