| First serious talk with a girl: 25 First date: 27 First held hand: 27 First kiss: 27 First sex: 30 I seriously considered visiting a prostitute when I was 25. I shied away because of possible legal repercussions and because I was afraid the prostitute would say no. Yes, my self esteem was 0, because... |

| Thanks for your reactions. Limerence (without an "a" ;-) has been brought up in an earlier response. I did not understand or appreciate it at the time. That has to do with the fact that English is not my first language; in my first language, the translation for limerence is the same word that is use... |

| Long overdue for an update. Much has happened in the meantime. First, a bit more information: it all started, a year ago, when I met B. at a sports activity. At the time, F. wasn't present due to an injury. For a very long time I didn't see B., because of injuries and different schedules. Last June,... |

I have told only one person that I have AS.
I have an WP account, but you can't relate it to my "real world" identity. No one else needs to know. It's still a taboo, where I live.
So officially, I don't have a WP account. Unofficially: hey, here I am. |

| I think it's a great idea, the trailer looks very good. However... (you knew this was coming) the world we live in does not really accept Aspies. I am afraid to come out of the closet, so to say. The country I live in is very tolerant of LGBT, but not so much of autists. I know a lot of Aspies, but ... |

| I say you should let him know, but I have no idea how you could do that. I was 46 when I found out about my AS. I would like to have known it about 30 years earlier. But again, I don't know how you could bring it to him, you being his ex and considering the painful break-up. You could send an anonym... |

| @hyperlexian Apologies that I took so long to respond to your reply. Your reply certainly deserves an answer, so here it is. I did not get any help for the depression. That question on the suicide web site "How would your family, loved ones react to your suicide?" really did the trick for me. Two mo... |

| I have been in your situation and I know how lonely and depressed you can feel. I had my first date when I was 27. What helped me was advice from and conversations with women. I see that you already had some contact. At one point I just asked a woman: could you give me some pointers on what to do/sa... |

| This is the story about my life (46 year old male with AS), with the focus on love, crushes, and dating. Maybe it will help you, if you recognize yourself in my story. It was not long ago that I diagnosed myself as having AS. I wish I had known before, it would have saved me lots of pain and frustra... |
