I'm a terribly bad liar. I wouldn't be able to tell a convincing lie to save my life.
...You didn't believe that, did you?  (:lol:) |

| I used to be a member several years ago. I joined because I thought it would be a good place to learn things, do courses and stuff, but I found out it's just a social club, and nobody needs a high IQ to socialize. I certainly didn't need that, so I left. |

| I used to be very pessimistic, but I've learnt to see difficulties as challenges to overcome. I consider myself quite optimistic now. |

It happens to me constantly, specially if someone talks to me in a noisy environment (while walking on the street, for example). Sometimes it's like if I was in a foreign country where I didn't understand the language.  |

Father: NT, with some AS traits.
Mother: NT / ADHD.
Sister: NT
Nephews: Too young to tell. They seem NT by now.
Rest of the family: NTs, several of them in the highly/exceptionally gifted range. |

Mother: permisive.
Father: neglectful.
The only rule at home was: "This is wrong, you figure out what is right". I never quite did, by the way...  |

I don't like it at all, even if it's in a "clean" way. It makes me feel very uncomfortable and I usually become verbally agressive.  I guess I am more of a predator than of a prey -regarding relationships at least...  |

Maybe it's an aspie trait. I lost "it" in a bathroom, too.  |

NT + NT = trouble?
I guess it depends on the two persons in the couple. It can work or it can't; the two members of the couple having AS doesn't guarantee that it will work or that it won't. Just wait to see what happens.  |

I guess we show our AS in different ways and some people may find looking after their children easier than others.
In my particular case, I know I wouldn't be a good mother but I've been told I'm an excellent aunt. And, well, none of my two nephews run and hide when they see me, so... |

| Having ADD as well as AS I can't concentrate to do many things. Meditation is one of them. Besides, I'm not much into "alternative therapies" and such, so I've never really tried. |
