My noticing the location of the post was purely a fluke and I should probably mark it on my calendar... 
And I'll restrain myself from further borderline-OT-ness, but yes, I saw the topic and couldn't not put in a word of encouragement/understanding on the issue. |

| I've had gay dreams and I'm quite straight. I just woke up, accepted that I'd felt that way, and moved on (MorbidMiss' "That does not mean you have to do anything about it" was very on-target). Sexual attraction is a fluid thing with a wide array of influences at different times. And especially duri... |

| And the author (Soleiyu) is using misusing stalker for cyber activities. ....... Sol/Adolf has been going on about ithis because he loves the attention really. I also like to add that he desires to be raped too. Lmao....Well, if he's such a stalker magnet, maybe he'll get his deepest heart's desire... |

| Love you too, dear. Even if I'm an enslaved mind for turning ideas over hypothetically on the basis of "If you're telling the truth, then XYZ" because that's all we have to go on for anything experiential (and I was responding to his stated experience with certain individuals, not any wide group) th... |

| I am a stalker magnet actually. I wish I wasn't. Eek. I wish there were a "grimace-for-another's-sake" smilie. Beyond what's already been proposed here for theoretical answers to what you asked, about all I can say is that I wish I could help more in some practical way (like telling you how to avoi... |

| I've been stalked a few times in my life for longer periods. All my stalkers have been people with some sort of AS who just don't listen when I've asked them to leave me alone. They are like the clown in the box who just bounces up again with the same oblivious smile on their face when knocked back... |

| NY Daily News is a cheap tabloid rag, sort of like the Daily Mail in London. The site looks professional, but any New Yorker can tell you that the Daily News is shoddy journalism. Good to know it at least isn't an attempt at real coverage---makes it easier to dismiss along with the crap at grocery ... |

| This one sounds crazy and possibly passive-aggressive. But minorly entertaining, though I might think otherwise if I had to work with her on an ongoing basis....and didn't have this annoying concern for her pregnant/worried situation....Do they have a pill to get rid of a conscience? I like being a... |

| Willard---"So many" is not "all," and not everyone thinks in clinical, logical detail about wording anyway, especially if they have actually had an unpleasant experience. If an individual and a friend/associate or two have had similar experiences and compare a certain common trait in those experienc... |

| Thank you so much. This girl leans more towards being a neurotypical and sometimes doesn't understand Asperger's Syndrome and why I act the way I do. For instance, she made a really big stink about my cutting my chin length bob into a really short pixie myself and shut down when she saw my hair. I ... |

| I barely glance at SNs and avatars---I don't care what people call themselves in a largely anonymous forum, and a friend of my husband has a comical Hitler obsession (anti-obsession?) and would likely use such a SN and avatar. And I don't see anything inflammatory about the post. I'm going to respon... |

What I speak is what I mean (and I'll be downright vicious with someone who doesn't believe it and tries to get pushy-touchy), and I deliber... |

| I can't identify with it either. Well, I guess I can at least understand the basis of feeling behind it, it's just not something I'm at all likely to get caught up in to that extent. I've only recently begun to look into details about AS, but I came across something saying "partner obsessions" are a... |

| You sound like you would like to be able to help her in her worried state. That just makes me smile helplessly---I usually recognize a need for personal warmth well after the fact, and shy away from doing anything about it with someone I'm not very close to (I had to read your post a few times throu... |

| All right, so I've never worked closely with a child with severe autism. The slant of this news article just disgusted me, though. Am I viewing it with my own slant? It seems to me that rather than focusing on the mother's very obvious, serious personal problems, it makes it look like her son was ju... |

| Are these good, close heart-friends, or just people you go hang out with on a monthly schedule because you figure you need the socializing? Personally, I'd be inclined to severely limit my contact with them after such a thing, if they fit in the latter category and would likely just laugh about it b... |
