| Scary, isn't it? I mean we think we're making rational selections but the unconscious, subliminal stuff makes a mockery of that every time. I think that is a very good point and something worth thinking about. I fought against the subliminal and gut feeling in my last relationship and suffered for ... |

| I These days it's just a few women I show affection to.....and there's always something unconventional about them, so I guess they remind me of the old days. I've often noticed that a lot of my Aspie traits seem to vanish when I'm with the right company, and this is the most noticeable example I ha... |

| I don't have much advice, because I haven't really been where you are- my longest relationship was only nine months long, but music can bring comfort and strength. Check out Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" lyrics...in fact, check out her whole "21" album (its post breakup material) I just listened to... |

| Lack of motivation is a symptom of inattentive ADD. My son has been battling this, and meds have helped a lot. You may want to talk with an ADD specialist about this, if you come to the conclusion that this might apply to you. So it actually may be separate from Asperger's, not just a part of it? I... |

Welcome Marissa :o)
I hope you benefit from all the post on here and eventually get comfortable posting yourself.
Getting feedback and simply just engaging in something outside of myself (with people who can relate) seems to be helping my outlook on life.
Take care! |

| I'm not sure if I'll be of any help, but I figured I should try considering I have been there. Yesterday I reviewed my transcripts from college and noticed Fs and withdrawals right alongside As and Bs. I remember knowing I needed to do the work, even being somewhat interested at times, but as the ti... |

| There's passive, assertive, and aggressive people. "Passive" ones think everybody else has all the rights, and they don't have any. "Assertive" ones think everybody has rights. "Aggressive" ones think they have all the rights and nobody else does. That is a great way to summarize those -I need to w... |

| Without it, I would have very little personality. There are times when I feel this way, but... maybe having Asperger's just brings out your personality (yet sometimes hides it). I'm hoping this identity crisis thing doesn't last forever (mine). I signed up for livingsocial recently- hoping to find ... |

I do it subconsciously and have made an effort to stop and have made some progress. I'm kind of with you- I haven't needed cream or anything, but there is eviden... |

| I "massage" the tops of my ears, rub cotton-like my jeans, finger tapping, bit the inside of my cheek....I always wondered why I rubbed my ears. I try to hide it and sometimes it is under control, but on occasion I catch myself doing it when I'm out and about. |
