Aww stuff on WP. I always say offensive things and either not realise it was offensive, or do it and feel terrible afterwards. Short fuse. Tactless. Un-empethatic.

Don't we all do that? Last I checked most of us have an autistic spectrum condition diagnosis :P

I think that people just need to say something if someone says something offensive.

I often say things out of ignorance but if I knew better I wouldn't. People assume I said it on purpose (how could i not know that it was offensive after all) + the people that witness it secretly tell other people and my rudeness because common knowledge.

It's happened countless times, it takes so long before people get glimpses of the real me that it's no wonder that very few people get past first impressions. Although I'm stubborn enough to say f**k em, their loss for not looking deep enough, maybe it's a good thing for the time it saves.

That's my favorite kind of girl seriously. I'm dependent, immature & protective so I think I'm most compatible with clingy, immature & daddy issues & I'm also quite attracted to that

•Prone to bouts of mutism. I’m normally very quiet unless I have something to say.
•I don’t know how to handle arguments or disagreements.
•Slightly overweight, but I’ve lost 75 lbs so I’m getting there.
Low self esteem, but I’m working on that as well.
•Never been jealous before, but past boyfriend (who had Aspergers) talked constantly about hot, beautiful women he wanted to date while he was dating me then he followed through on it. I ended it when this happened. Don’t know if that would come into the next relationship. Didn’t like the feeling at all.
•Take relationships very seriously.
•Prone to emotional meltdowns, sometime in public.
•I’ve been married twice to emotionally abusive men. Divorced the first one, and in the process with the second (I think he has Aspergers as well).
•Was sexually abused and raped by several past relationships so I’m very insecure about sex and would need someone with a lot of patience.
•Have 4 kids. 3 are adults and one is 17. 2 have Aspergers.
•Very blunt, but I warn people when I make friends with them.

Be careful what you wish for......after spending my first few post-puberty years with barely so much as a hug, I was longing for a clingy one to happen by.....but when I got one, it wasn't as nice as I'd expected. EVen now, being kind of lonely again these days, as a gut reaction I'd like somebody to stick to me like a limpet - but it's only a reaction to the current loneliness - it's a rare Aspie who can permanently pig out on the company of a partner without trouble.

Also, if neither partner is at all mature, it's going to be hard to fix arguments.

Don't get me started on daddy issues. I don't think it necessarily means anything so benign as just needing a bit of extra protection from a big man.

Still, I think it's good if people are matched up in the "possessive v. independent" department. A mismatch there can cause an awful lot of completely unnecessary anger.

And anybody who is aware that they have "daddy issues" is likely to do a lot better than somebody who has the same problem but doesn't know it.....if you know your main strengths and weaknesses, that's a great help.

oh this sounds like fun! right then:

- awkward in social situations
- small boobs/boyish figure
- low empathy
- short temper/verbally agressive
- unreasonably pessimistic about insignificant details & disturbingly optimistic about serious problems
- keratosis pilaris on both my arms and legs
- "meh" attitude about relationships
- extremely messy/severe executive dysfunction & ADD

actually I could go on but tl;dr

;_;
