| Stop saying I love you to her and see if she notices. Something sounds interesting in this situation. Are you guys seeing other people during this break? Regrettably, yes we are seeing each other since we kind of parent a puppy together so it's kind of difficult to keep distance...I feel like she's... |

I just wanted to see if anyone could relate...I personally work CoDA steps for codependency issues and I wanted to see if there was any link to it being related to having Aspergers.
Anyone? |

| So my girlfriend and I are taking a "break" to find ourselves in the sense that we were in a very, very unhealthy relationship of codependency and now we're in a sort of relationship purgatory of not wanting to just be friends but not wanting to be in "a relationship" so that we can switch the focus... |

| 8O I literally was about to post about this....I have extremely horrible trouble with tone of voice. I hear my voice as flat monotone most of the time but I guess I tend to get a little loud sounding when I'm excited, upset, angry, or just trying to figure things out like I'm raising my voice or usi... |

| So I just am curious to know if anyone has one specifically for their Aspergers? I was recommended one for Depression/Anxiety and ADD when I was in the hospital on a 5150 by a psychiatrist and then again encouraged to have one for my Aspergers and PTSD recently. I currently have a pug who is 5 month... |

| So I'm having a bit of an issue with getting a summary report out of the doctor who diagnosed me. I am aware that I cannot have the actual copy of the report sent out to my other doctors as there could be possibly upsetting information in it so I requested that she put together a personal report cle... |

| So I was professionally diagnosed with Aspergers and PTSD yesterday after going through neurotesting. I'm still in a little bit of a shock and trying to process everything because I'm still in a state of mind of "No...this must be wrong...how could this be?" etc. I guess the stigma of the whole idea... |
