If we're discussing that first infatuation feeling, people can definitely be annoying with it. But it's important to remember that their behaviour stems from a societal or cultural set of expectations -- in other words, it's a big social show of who got with who, and it's not every culture that does that with such flair.

That said, I love love, from the first chemical rush of infatuation down to the last comfortable feelings of deep companionship. It's by far and away the most fulfilling experience I've had. I'm ADHD, though, and not ASD, so that may have some impact on how I feel about it, which seems on par with most of the NTs I know.

I had an ADHD boyfriend and we got along well. We was both just as hyper and immature as each other. It was lots of fun. He thought I definetly had ADHD and I said "no, i am not as stupid as you." - in this case (no offense)

I get the feeling that ASD and ADHD aren't all that different, certainly not symptoms-wise. People don't guess me as ADHD at all, but I have the classic symptoms of impulsive-hyperactive, hyperfocused, but not at all inattentive. I'm too fast for most people and generally scare them. In other words, I don't think I end up looking terribly stupid. ;)

But my boyfriend does, and I'm here since I thought he may be ASD. I'm pretty sure I'm just discovering he's probably inattentive ADHD instead, which makes us almost complete opposites. It drives me insane and has really put us through hell, but that feeling of the deep bond I'm talking about is what's keeping us together. I'm not even sure what started it, but it's not ending easily, that's for sure. Our bond is just too strong now, I guess.

And that's why I love love. :D

I don't know about that. People with AS are more obsessive with fixated interests than ADHD people typically are and have more sustained focus.

That is what I have noticed except I couldn't say the same with me. As a child I was always in a dream world. I never focused on anything so was extremely inattentive. I don't remember ever understanding what the Teacher was saying. I just heard people talk. I didn't ever read or comphrehend. I just read. If I could have concentrated I would have understood. There is nothing wrong with my IQ. In some areas above average. I excelled at sport and I am well co-ordinated.

I guess people being on the autism spectrum AS or not, every one is so variable. It is a complex disorder.

I know high functioning autistic children, frequently exhibit some of the same symptoms as with ADD/ADHD. Such as lack of sustained concentration, impulsivity and hyperactivity. ADD children have similar brain wave activity characteristic that has been seen and tested in HFA children.

However, the reality should not be over looked that autistic children have more complex deficits than do ADD children.

I have heard ADHD is minimal brain dysfunction or impairment. So what is HFA and/or AS? A brain dysfunction worse? I don't know. The only reason I know some is because my DD scored highly probable for ADD and was dx with High functioning autism. She is alot different to me or I ever was. She is more obsessive. She can concentrate and has an IQ very superior or gifted.

She is very bright but so slow in some ways and I do not get along with her. We clash especially now she is 11 year old girl. She is so bossy and thinks she knows everything.

Me too, couples have the right to go gaa-gaa over each-others and boast about their relation. I can be annoyed because it's something I'll never get.

I don't like people having sex or looking like they are about to have sex in front of me. With tongues down each other throat. Not if I am by myself.
I am like 'Go some where else you dirty c***s and I can't stand it when they and act like babies talking to each other. Like ret*d monkeys or fat ass pigs rolling in mud kissing each other, like they got... I feel like..

I can still pitcure my mom bending over sticking her ass out when I was a kid. She is skinny but it made her ass look fat and gives me this annoyed feeling and her stupid dancing. I can't stand it when parents have sex with people you know are creeps. It's pathetic and it makes me feel :eew:

I maybe lonely but the truth is, I know deep down that I am better off being a alone. I'm a free man. I can live by my own rules and do whatever the heck I want. I don't have to answer to anybody. I also don't have to go through the whole bull crap drama involved in relations and not have to deal with people's problems because every person has their own problems. I want a girl's company once in a while like anyone else but I know I would never be able to go through with it. I probably don't deserve a girlfriend for thinking this way but right now, I really don't care. So the answer is yes, I don't want to fall in love. If it happens, it happens but I will never force it.

Really a couple who are very much enjoying each other even if not being indecent is probably one of the most irksomely inconsiderate human packs you can find. "We just shoved that guy into a snow bank - but that's okay cuz we're in love la dee da :flower:"

My crystal ball tells me that Bella Donna has a good story to share with us.

Have you ever had sex in a public place?

I have to admit that I wouldn't be offended if I caught someone trying to be discreet and have sex in public, but I find it utterly offensive when people shout out headlines on their blogs about their love interest. It's offensive because it's annoying.

Pix or it didn't happen.

Wait, I know it didn't happen, but you can still entertain our imaginations with a few found pictures from the internet, I'm sure.
