| I have the same trouble in forums as I do "out there". I try to fit in. Then I don't. Then I withdraw. I am into cars and motorcycles and have been a member of numerous forums over the years and just "peter out" of them. Mostly I just lose my confidence. Or the little bit that I have........ Same re... |

It was recently our 19 anniversary. We did go to New York City and stay in the Palace. Plus we went... |

| I love pizza and eat it twice a week. My food routine presents me with frozen pizza on Tuesdays. One weekend night my wife or one of my friends and I love the original "Regina's" in the North End or if we want to do thin crust that always means Emma's in Cambridge. Yes, food is a routine with me. |

I confess that I love miniature donkeys and actually "sponsor" two of them. This Sunday I am going to spend some time with them. They're very affectionate.
I also confess that the biggest rush I know of is driving my 6 speed Corvette Grand Sport. Going through the gears is intoxicating,........ |

I have been doing this for years and cannot stop it. It actually works out to my benenfit because I am in very good shape for my age... |

| Throughout my years Ive had friends and still have about 4 friends who I see regularly and consider close. With my past friends and even these 4 people, I am considered their friend but I get the feeling like they dont feel quite as close to me as I do to them. Its probably because they have so man... |

| Most NT's I know love to tell jokes. I don't like jokes and usually don't get them. My wife tells me that most of the time I have a very intense look and I know that many times I have the "death stare". She tells me that I look unapproachable. I do show emotion though and have always been one to "sh... |

I'm back living with my parents in my mid to late 40s after living many, many years on my own, although with considerable financial help from them. Wish more good jobs were readily availab... |

| I suppose it depends on what you mean by struggle. I was extraordinarily lucky to marry a women that was adept at the details of living. It's not an exaggeration for me to say I would have ended up a wild eyed homeless man. I'm not convinced that I wouldn't end up there if for some reason the marri... |

| I am lucky that I work in a place where the people are very nice to me. My co-workers and bosses alike. They do know that I learn very slowly and can get confused easily. They're also aware that there are a lot of routines in my life. Like food for instance. Outside of that it's hard to say because ... |

| I get many looks because of my appearance. First off I look like a "hood" from 1970. My wife always tells me that I have a "death stare" a lot of the time. She says I look intimidating......Yet I am a very nice person. |
