Yes I get lonely a lot

Failed to get around to :. Making friends, get a job, clean house, cook dinner, sew clothes

My former employer had Autism Awareness Day. Great America. Do not know of anything else anyone is doing. Besides ignoring people that are different from them. Which is much better than San Diego

Cracking knuckles





What are you procrastinating doing?

I'm procrastinating putting an app on my phone, printing some papers, and finishing reading the book I love.
Only two more chapters. It's likely I don't want it to end.

Describe a time when you felt very proud of yourself. Why?

I mix happy and proud up.

I loved my cat a lot. I liked to show her off. I guess that's pride?

Do you ever pick your nose?

I was proud (and happy) to have many pets who lived very long lives.

No, I don't pick my nose, at least not where people can see me do it.

Has anyone taken up a sport at a late age? I started taking tennis lessons at 50.

no, not really..

Have you ever felt you've come across people whom are prone to emotional dangers in a manner of speaking?

Are you asking about a tendency or lack thereof of meeting or being around people that are emotionally unstable (a potential threat) or people that are emotionally vulnerable?

Can you rephrase the question?

I apologize for not being clear in execution of my inquiry;therefore, have you come across someone whom literally makes himself/herself more vulnerable to emotional danger?

I think I understand what you're asking. Forgive me for my questions I need for clarity. "Emotional danger": do you mean someone who makes poor choices in life and as a result of their choices they end up causing themselves emotional trauma (e.g. depression, etc)?

Yes, making poor choices resulting in trauma..

Yes, I've known people who almost seem to make poor choices on purpose. I believe such people are addicted to chaos. Perhaps their self-sabotage is intentional on a subconscious level because the poor choices are regular fodder feeding the chaos in their lives. My experience is that such people don't listen to or follow advice.

I'm very cautious about fraternizing with such people because it's difficult for me to have sympathy for them if they refuse to try to make their lives better and they refuse to learn from their mistakes and I refuse to get sucked into their drama.

I often used to put myself in emotional danger

Now I just avoid almost everyone usually

Too much giving the benefit of the doubt

Too much splitting fine hairs

Cost benefit analysis usually not worth it

Precious lil "people" are usually not nearly as important and awesome as they act like they are





Right now I am 35 and that does not sound old. Do not play sports. Unless you count aikido, but started 25


Proud of being the first woman in the men's locker room (UCSD 2006). Homophobic simpletons destroyed my emotional resilience

Not to say that I ever had emotional resilience

Proud of structural engineering, even though I flunked out. Got to Solid Mechanics. Moment area method

Proud of weight







What did you want to do, that your parents did not let you do?

Essentially anything Ive ever wanted to do in life lol
Date who I wanted, do the sport I loved, join the club I liked, go to the college I chose, select the major I was interested in, literally every big decision ever made in my life....
Even little things like cut my hair how I wanted or wear the dress I really loved or freakin eat the food that I like
But the biggest thing is probably not being able to accept and embrace the fact that Aspergers is a part of my life and not going away anytime soon

Same q

They didn't let me go to a Husker Du and Replacements concert when I was 15. Granted, it was at at a bar, but one of my friend's mom was going to be there and could have chaperoned.

Other than that I had few restrictions. Probably too few in a way.

Same q

When I was younger, living with my parents, I wanted us all to move to Kentucky and get a horse. It never happened.

What state would you like to live in that you have visited?

I've visited several, but I wouldn't want to live in any of them. I like where I live now.

What country would you like to visit that you haven't seen yet. For me, it would be Italy, Spain and Japan.

I'd like to visit Scotland before I die. Other "runner ups": Finland, Norway, Sweden, Argentina and Russia.
