| Hello likedcalico, I read your post on the other forum and can relate to some extent to your relatively detached view of the event. I wouldn't say that it was "cold hearted" - it was more a matter of you remembering your own personal experience of the event. The moderator's response can be explained... |

| Hi Laura, There's quite alot in that video, I think I'm going to have to watch it a few times to really pick up on everything. Just thought I'd say, however, that I would tend to agree with you as regards the overlap between personality disorders and PDDs like Aspergers Syndrome. I first reached the... |

| From a personal point of view, my OCPD traits never looked that bad although I did start to have perfectionistic tendancies that meant projects that I was working on got ever more complex and, gradually, I would be daunted by the scale of projects. But, a CBT approach to this is really just looking ... |

| Hi Groovemeister, I self-diagnosed OCPD a couple of years ago -- as although my behaviours (from my perspective) did not seem particularly extreme, I recognized many if the life issues I was having were reflected in a paper by Dr. Steven Phillipson ( http://www.ocdonline.com/articlephillipson6.php )... |

I can understand that. |

| You gotta be kidding! Regardless of your preference a BAR is not the place to go if you truly are looking for relationship material person. A definitely not gay bars having been to a few of them myself. Bars are where you go to pick up someone for quick sex who is more likely to carry an STD becaus... |

| With respect, it doesn't sound like your not bothered: in fact, your postings suggest you're very bothered with the whole situation. Club/bars etc. aren't the best for everybody, and I'm not sure as to your social scene, but I've found that getting involved with team sports can be quite good -- the ... |

| Sopho, You seem so negative about the prospect of finding a partner. I assume this is more down to the availability of women as opposed to men. Are there not bars and clubs where you live that cater for your preferences? Would it not be worth trying to strike up even the most rudimentary friendship ... |

| Has anyone actually found counseling helpful? I was reading in Tony Attwood's book that means of support appropriate to NT's -- like counseling -- aren't typically helpful to AS types. It is said that AS-types probably benefit more from social guidance/education, than a person to share feelings with... |

| Although I concur with others as to the meaning of the statement - that it is better to have had the feeling of love and having lost your love - I'm not really sure how appropriate the statement is to AS-style relationships. My own experience has been that in the few relationships I have had the str... |

| Sedaka, You mentioned that you can normally catch on quite quickly when people are talking to you. I just wondered whether you often had meetings or other discussions that seemed circular - you cover the same ground over and over. I'm never sure whether I'm the one causing this repetitive style conv... |

| Thanks for your replies DD and Beenthere. I've had a look at some of the other posts, I have to say that many of them seem more in tune with what I have been used to participating in the OCPD forums. Actually, the main thing that lead me to the original OCPD diagnosis was the effect that partners al... |

| Hi, I wonder if you can help me. Background I'm not actually diagnosed with aspergers, but suspect I may have it. I'm 33, so would most likely have missed any trend towards diagnosis of such disorders at school. Originally, I thought it was OCPD [obsessive-compulsive personality disorder] - but (bas... |
