| Indigo children is a bunch of BS... Aspergers Syndrome is based in neurology not some new-age stupidity. That time of the month, is it? :wink: I've wondered about this. The description on the website is like a zodiac sign description--pretty broad, and difficult to apply to any meaningful test. Nev... |

| Gotcha. My advice: go listen to the Sublime song "What I got" about a dozen times. That might help. And remember women are people. And People get confused and make bad decisions with alarming regularity. People invented the A bomb, and reality TV, and Cheeze Whiz. I mean, Paris Hilton is a person (t... |

| It needs to end guys. All I can see is a lot of misunderstandings and misinterpretations ... That's sweet, Fiz, and good of you to try to inject rationality. But I think you're missing the point: they are having so much FUN arguing. :D I mean, this argument has no real stake. Nobody knows about it ... |

| She smiled at me first, and I actually started the conversation, asking how she was doing. She was with one girl and one guy, and she said that the guy was "just a friend" and that she has no date for her upcoming prom. Yeah, the one NT thing you did was follow up on the smile. From then on, she wh... |

| She ran into someone after shopping theres a video on TMZ.com someone said the paparazzi disoriented her. I went and watched the video. It's kinda cool, actually. I've been in that parking structure on Robertson. It's just off Burton. I jog by it several times a week. They can be tight, those Bever... |

| it was probably the same girl. How long between the meeting in the cafe and when you called her? I'm not so sure: From the way EL describes it, it sounds like he's been the instrument in a simple practical joke. The reason I say that is "Chrissy's" behavior at the table. See, no girl on the level w... |

I really want to sit down and talk with her because she is also going through a variety of family issues, and she just dosn't tell me. I wish she would. I still do love her alot and I've been through this much with her... |

We might end up forming an aspie support group/friends circle. Would that be interesting ... |

| Perhaps recording your thoughts in writting then taking the writting into your doctor. Good advice. What you're experiencing is classic side effects of the the mood variety. If you keep a log--even a brief one--of what you're feeling and when, your doc has a better chance of dealing with the proble... |

I also have trouble really reading between the lines when someone is talking; I just take people at face value. I understand. Then I concure... |

| Is it because they are better at "mirroring" actions than I am? Pretty much. I wrote a story for the site on mirror neurons a while back when it broke. It's interesting stuff. It affects everthing: actions, emotions, socialization, learning ... I don't think it "explains" autism, as some claim, but... |

You spend all your time playing games with people, that's all you're going to have in the end. And if you EXPECT that everyone is out to play a game on you, then that... |

I'm sorry, but that's unacceptable. You'll have to rephrase that in an aphorism.  |
