I can so relate to this, often I would obsess and wanted what I thought rather than what I needed, with me also its 100% or not, understanding does make a huge difference, at least we can explain we are not rejecting them when we need down time, need to be alone. I guess communication and wanting the same things which is key for any relationships. A great insight by Laura extremely well done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arCpl8SmfXk

I can't really see myself being in a relationship, at this point, in my life. I need to much down time, to have a man around.

interesting video. thanks for posting.

"thought looping" is a very good way of explaining. personally i have the most trouble with understanding other people's intentions, and will drive myself totally bananas trying to ascertain any meaning out of their behavior (since i can't read it properly, i am assuming) and am inclined to quit because the anxiety and frustration are too much for me to handle.

i'm glad to hear this is not the only conceivable outcome.

I am beginning to think that spectrum individuals develop later in regards to relationships and often problems are caused wanting to be like our peers growing up and we often it seems are not, in regards to relationships. When I was younger a total mess, far to naive and did not really feel worked until around my 30s, nd I have heard quite a few spectrum individuals say this, we seem to be younger longer :D would love your thoughts on this :?:
