I'm still waiting for my kiss.
How comes so many aspies kiss so young? How is this possible?
I ask myself the same thing. Still waiting, and I just turned 29
So many kids here who have so much more experience than I do, and yet they're all Aspie. What is wrong with me?
Several reasons: people diagnosed younger, plus diagnosed in more recent times, have a higher change of developing improved social skills at a younger age (due to earlier intervention). Plus the criteria for diagnosis is looser, and rate of diagnosis has increased, therefore there is an increase of less severely socially disadvantaged people with Aspergers.
Another thing I have noticed, although I would definitely hesitate to state it as accurate as it's based of a very small and probably non-representative sample of aspies, is that on this forum there is a definite discrepancy between males and females regarding sexual experience. Female aspies in general seem to have their first sexual experiences at a much younger age than male aspies in general. I think if the poll was subdivided into genderized categories the data would reflect this. I think this probably happens because the social culture of sexual pursuit has the male as pursuer, and female as pursued. Regarding sexual experience, at least, (but not necessarily healthy or long term relationships), I think it's generally more difficult for the male aspie to obtain than the female aspie, not to mention that due to naivety female aspies are quite vulnerable to sexual predators, so many have more sexual experience against their will.
I thought I was going pretty well, having my first kiss at 19, but when I compare myself to all the other female aspies who have posted their first kiss age in this forum it seems I am more towards the edge of the bell curve (when compared to other female aspies).
*The diagnosed younger and less-efficiently is true.
*Ha! Story of my life has had me be the pursuer, and guys the pursued. Though it never worked out
I would ask guys to dance with me and I even had to ask the guy out on my first date. Though, that's not true with my boyfriend now.
*Excuse me? Naive and vulnerable HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Nobody *dares* to mess with me. When I was little, I was so strong , my parents had to ground me instead of spank me because thy were afraid of what I could do if I reacted. Don't get me wrong, I was a little kid and dumb once. But I played by MY RULES. If I didn't want it to happen I was going to make *DANG SURE* that it wouldn't.......or at least put up a nasty fight.
*What do you mean towards the bell curve?
*I will probably get mine soon and I am 18 almost 19
