New! Looking to learn about AS

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

I joined this forum because I am in love with a man with AS. I am a 36 year old NT woman with an advanced degree in Psychology and I run a private clinical practice and also teach college classes. I have a lot of "information" about AS but I have realized that integrating that into day-to-day life with someone neurologically quite different from me is challenging! I find myself "knowing better" but still taking certain things he does (or does not do) personally. Anyway, I look forward to sharing information and perspective with people in this community.

Thank you!

Christy

Welcome!

Hey Christy welcome.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

hi, christy. welcome. got any other interests you'd care to share about?

Thanks everyone! @cathylynn I'm interested in health and fitness, yoga, hiking, naturopathic medicine/neuroscience, science fiction and fantasy, history, anthropology. That's just off the top of my head. I'm usually reading approx 3 books at once, all different genres.

christy, that's an impressive reading rate. i'm also into healthy living. i love cooking mediterranean diet foods for me and my husband.

@cathylynn id be interested in learning more about the Mediterranean diet! What are some good resources you have found?

i learned about the mediterranean diet from newsletters such as harvard women's health watch, johns hopkins mind, mood, and memory, and tufts health and nutrition newsletter. the diet is heavy on fruits and vegetables. it includes fish at least twice per week, some poultry and very little red meat. nuts and olive oil are featured, as are whole grains. benefits have been shown in less cardiovascular disease and dementia.
