Post Reply New Topic

These are things I like on TV or things I collect or like to do

pacifiers
baby toys
Teletubbies
Barney
Sesame Street
Supernanny
Care Bears
Tom and Jerry
oldies music from the 1950s-1970s
soft rock music from the 1970s-1992.
maps (street maps, geography). Been interested in maps since
age 4, when I could read.
kiddie rides in amusement parks
internet
Ebay
children, especially toddlers and preschoolers
old records 45 rpm records (but that has to deal with oldies music)
children's stuff in general
vintage 1960s-early 1990s children's shoes (Mary Janes, T-straps, English sandals, mostly)
weather
traveling (mostly to the Eastern USA, eg. Virginia, North Carolina,
Maryland. I've been in Virginia twice).

well, that about summarizes me

You sound like a match for me except I am taken and you live down in CA. Only con thing I see in the list is Barney. But I have the will power to ignore the Barney merchandise but I don't think I can take the shows on TV.


How do you get on the kiddie rides? Do they let you on them despite being too big for them? Most of them have height restrictions about how short you need to be to ride them.

Spokane,

by children's rides, I mean those that I can get on without a height
restriction. For example, I consider carousels (Merry go rounds)
and teacups rides to be children's rides. We'll just say the
more scarier rides are for adults (eg. roller coasters, swings
that go around fast, etc).

And you can go on some children's rides in some amusement
parks. Sometimes they have restrictions like you have to be
riding with another child (eg. your grandkid, child, etc). But
sometimes, as in Gilroy Gardens Park in Gilroy, California,
there are virtually no height restrictions on any rides. I've
noticed sometimes also in county fairs that rides that are for
children totally, are sometimes okay to fit an adult, because
I have been to county fairs and some rides in big amusement
parks that will be just for children and height restricted to them
will have no restrictions in a county or state fair. Usually
height restrictions for rides like that are usually around 4
feet 6 inches (54 inches), meaning probably some people who
have Down Syndrome or some sort of dwarfism could probably
ride on them, even with a height restriction. On some of the
smaller "baby baby" rides, some of them are only for children
who are up to 4 feet tall. It depends. Also, if you say you are
autistic or have autism, then rules can sometimes be thrown
out. It depends on amusement park too.

Take care

Teacups are fun... The ones at Disney World have a speed restriction on how fast you can make them rotate though, and I hit that limit. The equivalent at Canada's Wonderland doesn't have the same speed restriction, and I made myself sick in the head, and feeling really really weird from trying to find the speed restriction. When I got off, I stumbled from being so dizzy.

I see. I thought height restrictions had to do with weight. I also like merry go around and other rides that aren't extreme. I can't stand intense roller coasters and extreme rides. I go on ones that don't cause tickle in my tummy that bad. I don't understand how people can stand that high feeling. In my childhood, I was starting to get too big for them so it was starting to make it hard for me to go on rides because the bigger ones scared me because they were too extreme. Only ones I could still go on were the bumper cars, merry go around, the huge slide, ferris wheels, and walk on rides where you just walk in them and out like house of mirrors, fun houses, any rides that didn't tickle my tummy and I could still fit on that were for all ages. But Disneyland helped me over come my fear of roller coasters but I still don't like the extreme ones. I will not go on them. I can remember my mother telling me when I was about eight or nine, "you won't be able to get on lot of the rides there because lot of them are too scary for you and you are getting too big for the ones you aren't afraid of." Of course I always knew she was wrong because there were rides that weren't scary and everyone could go on them. I think my mother was just telling me that because she wanted me to overcome my fear of extreme rides. Sometimes parents will do anything to get their kids to do things or try new things, etc.

Well here's the problem:

You're a man.

Tere are autistic women out there like you and other women. odds are is that if not all, most are taken.
If you were born with a vagina you would probably already have a date.

I like to watch disney channel, i play with stuffed animals, i watch disney movies in spanish like bambi, and I am differnt. there are probably girls out there like me but the odds of me finding one is very low. And the girls who are like me may not even find me attractive, although i am physically attractive, they may think im weird or too much like them.

You were born with a penis. So you dont really have a chance with any women. im not being a ass about this, im just telling you from my experiences. I also saw your other thread and I waitch those shows.

An autistic woman can get away with that, but not an autistic man. But there are autistic couples that are strange and get together. Even if there are women out there that dont care about your eccentricities , what are the odds of you ever finding them. And alot are already in relatioships.

I'm not trying to bring your hopes down but i wanna be "real" and not BS you. I would love to have an autistic girlfriend who watches sesame street and all that good stuff. If i were an autisic girl would I feel the same? probably or probably not. i would think like a girl because i am a girl. Im a guy though so, but autistic men think alittle different than guys, just slightly different as you can see.

You can PM me and we can talk some stuff over if you're interested. Go for any girl you want, but if she's a b***h, then stay away from her.

my answer to your overall questiopn is NO. because women arent openminded in selecting men

I would have to disagree.

The 4:1 male-female ratio that everyone talks about is only those with a diagnosis. In reality, it is probably 3:1, 2:1, or evenly split. In either case, 1 out of every 150 people is on the spectrum.

As for relationship status, I don't keep track of that. A female would only have an easy time if she was desperate enough to go out with the first guy who shows her any sort of attention. In those cases, the woman is usually taken advantage of, or worse. I hope most people are beyond that.

and if a woman doesnt like you Geowhizkid26 then she is the one who is missing out on a guy who will respect her and treat her like a queen.

I think the best husbands are unexperienced men. I learned this in church. men talk about how they screwed every thing that spread their legs but then they had marriage problems because they were/are trying to figure out which womman they love the most.

the 1500 skirts they already screwed
or the wife that they should remain faithful to.

a strong man is one who can only make love to one woman only and only that woman.

basically what im trying to say is that God want men to be desperate so they can show their wives all the love they have, instead of screwing ever gril.

men are not suppose to be insecure, the only reason unexperienced men become insecure is because the social pressures and the fact that they are constantly rejected by women for being to into them or too nice.

this is why divorce rates are so high, because of lust and past relationships., but women are running the whole show, they set their standards too low and low means

-shallow and closed minded.

They should marry a man for his love. A man who loves a woman and is a bum, he'll become a millionaire to keep her.
A man who wants sex from a woman and is a bum, he'll make any lie to keep getting that p****

OK, these things are cool, and possibly useful material for attracting a woman. Even if a woman isn't familiar with vintage music, many women will surely find it an interesting learning experience. Scrap everything else, or keep it to yourself. You can have private interests, and you are not obligated to show everything about yourself.

I myself have denied having a current interest in star trek. I used to watch it, but I've gotten too busy doing other things to keep current on it, and I've realized I'd rather have real life adventures of my own, as disappointing as they may be at times, at least they're real. I can hold conversations about star trek if a person makes it clear she has an interest in it stronger than my own, but I don't come out with this topic uninitiated.



This one will come across as creepy at best if you don't already have children of your own, unless you work with children and frame this interest in the context of being nurturing and ready to care for children of your own.

Look Geowizkid, in the first place, I've looked at a few of your posts and asked myself, "What the hell?" I am not trying to be judgemental, but come on, pacifiers and baby toys? Moving to Orlando to be close to Disney World? I know you've asked in your last few posts why you can't get a girl, but don't you think perhaps you should think about manning it up a little bit.

I think I am on the opposite end of the spectrum from you to the point were I am "extreme male," and am completely colorless and desensitized. I understand how it is difficult to normalize and streamline your interests but I don't think you stand any chance of dating if you act like a 4 year-old. 99.999% of girls won't want that, I am sorry to say. Mabye you should think about, at least in public, acting your age.

You seem very intelligent and your writing is mature, so why the desire to act like an adult baby? It seems incongruous. I'm not trying to judge you, but I am just wondering, "Why?"

I'd argue that the true meaning of Love has been lost. it has been replaced with "I love Pizza!' and people don't even know what marriage love means anymore. The vows are something they don't even grasp.

Let me try to phrase it in a way that maybe connects more with the root of the current problem:

“Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable, it’s off. But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you are not married.” -- Joseph Campbell 1904-1987.

TobyZ - people should find people who are like them, that
have the same types of interests and hobbies. If you have
NOTHING in common, there is no iceball's chance in Hell
that you are going to have a relationship. I did that with a
girl, and got nowhere with her (and she did have Asperger's
Syndrome, but we were complete opposites. She was like
an 18 year old maturity wise and liked watching Desperate
Housewives, whereas I was watching Teletubbies, Barney,
and Care Bears. Totally not the same). And it didn't go
anywhere. After 3 months we didn't talk to each other anymore.

Brusilov - IT IS NOT MY FAULT I act like a 4 year old, dang it.
Having pacifiers and baby toys and wanting to move to
Orlando for a few years to enjoy Disney World, what's so bad
about that?? For crying out loud. Yeah, I can write well. I
can articulate well. But you realize that that doesn't mean
everything???? You realize that I can't help myself???! ! Do
you know what that feels like???! ! I have a friend who has
autism and lives independently in Burlington, Vermont. She
has an IQ of a 6 year old, but she can articulate well, and
she has written stuff in emails to me which are incredible. Some
of her word usage is unbelievable, using words I have never
even heard of. And I went to college. So that gives you an idea.
I'm sure if you were to hang around me for 24 hours for just
one day, you would see how I am like a 4 1/2 year old totally.
Just because I'm articulate doesn't show you really how
(#*#*)# disabled I am!! ! Yes, most girls would not want someone
who is like a 4 year old, even though he may be charming and
nice and funny and enjoy little kids stuff. But maybe out there,
there's someone who is mentally or socially/emotionally like
a 4 year old, that would enjoy being around me. And dammit,
I'm not an adult baby. If was an adult baby, I would have TONS
of friends. I in no way have a diaper fetish or an adult baby
fetish. It is not a sexual thing for me, I act like a child because
I can't help it!! ! When will you understand???

Sgrannel:
I love toddlers and preschoolers, yes, and let me tell you
that is my peer group. Most of the adults I know have
admitted that. Most of my friends are either people in their
40s or 50s, or elderly beyond 60 years old, OR they are
toddlers and preschoolers. I hardly have any friends my
age. I have one friend who is 24 named Caleb but I never
get to see him much because we met at college and he lives
100 miles away from me. And also, he doesn't like a lot
of the stuff I like. Someone suggested here I work with
toddlers and preschoolers and go into early childhood
development. Yes, I would, but the problem is that I'm so
afraid that I will be accused innocently of say, child molestation
that I don't even want to do that, to go into child development.
It's really sad because this whole worry about being accused
of child molestation and being innocent is driving men and other
well meaning people away from preschools and daycares, meaning that only people who don't care about kids, who do
it because they are getting paid a lousy income, do child
care or preschool. Seriously. I have a 5 year old cousin, and
when she was 2 1/2, my uncle put her in this daycare, and
they wouldn't change her poopy diaper for 8 HOURS!! ! Needless to say, she NEVER went back there again. But this is exactly what I am talking about.

Jemir - you are right. And whoever doesn't want to date me
or to meet me, is missing out on being treated like a queen.
When you give a girl everything she could ever want, she
won't want you, I noticed. No one ever, no girl, has ever
said to me in college or anywhere in school something like
"You are so cute" or "Can I invite you to a date?". NO ONE
has ever said that to me. I think people think that I look
weird when I see them (and no, I don't carry a pacifier around
with me), maybe it's just my look or my gait or something,
maybe it's because I don't comb my hair a lot, or something
else. Who knows???

Yes, I understand, it's okay for a girl to act like a 4 year old,
and that might even be an attraction for some guys, but
for me (a male) to act like a 4 year old, that is actually probably
a turn off. That's just so stupid though. But like you said, you
like Disney movies too and all that stuff, so.....I guess we're
kind of in the same boat.

Sometimes......I don't know.....I just wish that I never grew
up, that I took a horrible fall and broke my brain and
pituitary gland, and never grew up and remained a 4 year old
physically in size. At least it wouldn't be so bad. Sure, I wouldn't
have a girlfriend like right now, but at least, I could act like
a 4 year old and damn people wouldn't look at me strangely.
They would think I was just an adorable little 4 year old playing
with baby stuff, and just pass me by, like they would to any
4 year old. A proportionate dwarf that looks like a 4 year old,
obviously, but still people would think I was 4, and I would have
a high pitched voice so people would think I was that age.
There would be so many advantages in being the size of a 4
year old (read the post where I wrote about "Do you want to
be a kid again?". Actually someone else started that thread).

Have a good post memorial day.

He said you act like an adult baby. Didn't say you were one. Big difference.

I understand what you are saying and I wasn't trying to make fun of you or anything. I was just saying that if you want girls to look at you or people to take you seriously than mabye you should think about manning it up a little bit. This is just life and we all have to do things that we don't want to do. How much respect is an adult-toddler going to elicit? You wont turn a girl on with infantilism.

I know your proclivities aren't sexual(at least I hope not.) As far as playing with the baby-toys and what not, you should just keep it inside the house at least and try to butch it up in public.

There are certain weird things that I do and I have my own hangups in the privacy of my own home, but I just have to keep my s**t to myself when I go out in public. You shouldn't go around advertising the fact that you act like a toddler the world, and especially not to girls. I guess what I am saying is that we have to make compromises, like it or not. You just wrote 30 paragraphs on why you can't find a girl when it is clear you already know the answer. A girl won't date a male version of herself. If you were a woman your proclivites would probably be more acceptable, but as a man, the more you man it up, the more success you will find socially.

I have the opposite problem of you in the fact that I am a 90 year old stuck in a 23year old body. I have the mental outlook and social conservatism of an old man and I too have a hard time relating to people in my age range. I feel for you and what you are dealing with. Sometimes I wish I was an octogenarian so people would give me the respect commensurate with my mental age, but instead I get treated as a youth who has to be vibrant, enthusiastic, and a workaholic. Even though you want to be 4, you will never get anywhere if you Goo-GooGaGA in public, so at least try to be mature in the real world. You can act how you want at home. I'm not trying to be an @$$ or anything. I know how it feels to be a different age than the body you were given, yet still having to interact with others.
