| I used to look up and to the right when I talked. My brother is the same. I was constantly called on it. People would follow my gaze thinking I was looking at something specific. What changed I don't know. I think it may be that it lessoned when I started taking anti-depressants two yrs ago. Now I w... |

| Tough diamond, I have read your reply a couple of times. I know Aspies, male and female, want the other to make the first move. It's a conundrum isn't it...lol. I'm surprised our species hasn't died out all together!.. :lol: So...have you ever been the pursuer because you realized that if you weren'... |

| I am a 50 yr old undiagnosed aspie woman. I'm divorced and ready for a new relationship. The problem is that although I get a lot of interest from NT men, I find most of them uninteresting. On the flip slide, when I come across men I think are like me whether they know they may have AS or not, I can... |

| Hi TOS: speaking as an older aspie woman, there's nothing wrong with you but looking back how I wish one of those geeky aspie guys I had the hots for when I was younger had just made ONE move. I didn't know I was aspie back then but knew I was attracted to guys who were probably like you and I was (... |

| I started taking an anti-depressant for depression 6 months ago. It helped with that but to my surprise, it also reduced my anxiety to a normal level and my obsession with my special interests has become more manageable. For me it was a good move. I'm still quite Aspie lol but the parts that interfe... |

| Ya, I think that's common..when I lose a friend or suddenly find myself "out of the loop" it hurts. What makes it worse is not knowing WHY! I used to go over and over it but could not understand it. Now, if it happens, I just move on. I become indifferent. Ironically, I ended up finding a very few c... |

| I had a great manager once. When we first met he didn't come off as egotistical at all but he was very aware of presenting a good image. I didn't understand this until one day we were walking together drinking coffee when he coughed and a bit of coffee came out of his mouth. He was SO humiliated and... |

| Although I wrote about it in another post...I can look back and realize before I knew I was an Aspie that I have always been attracted to Aspie guys and indifferent to NT men. I must have a man who is intelligent, intense, and somewhat eccentric or I get bored. Looks don't matter much either. I'd go... |

| Speaking as an Aspie woman, even before I knew I had AS, I was rarely attracted to NT men, and looking back, I have alway been drawn to if not other Aspies, at least men who were intelligent, intense, and eccentric. I know for me at least, there is a built in attraction to you guys but must not have... |
