| When it comes to dating, people want to be wanted for who they are as a person . They do not want to be wanted for their class, ethnicity, or the color of their hair. Attitudes like yours, often repel the women that you are trying to attract. This is perfectly stated. As a black woman who is attrac... |

| I'm specifically wondering about other women, but anyone can answer. When I really like a guy, I'm so fixated on them that it seems to disrupt my rational thinking. Recently, I've had a really intense crush on someone that has made me so anxious and very confused. I'd heard he may have had a crush o... |

| I have an intense crush on a co-worker of mine, and I've just learned that he has a crush on me too. Learning this confirmed my confusion about whether or not he was flirting with me or just being a nice guy (I can never pick up on the body language and "between the lines" communication that comes w... |

I'm under the Blue Cross PPO plan. Does anyone have the same plan and/or can recommend a doctor in the area? I'm seeking diagnosis a... |

| Also, this may be a weird question, but do any of you choose or like/dislike your therapist based on their temperament? It's probably not that important as long as they can do their job correctly, but my current therapist and the one I saw before that are both these really soft-spoken, incredibly em... |

| I had another session with her yesterday. At our last visit, she said she was going to ask her supervisor if there are any ways we could help determine that it's AS (without giving a diagnosis). Yesterday, she said her boss suggested that she keep talking with me first before we go that route. Then ... |

| I've just begun to see a counselor to finally discuss my concerns with possibly having Aspergers. I've researched and studied it obsessively for almost a year now, and to me I am 90% sure that I have it. I've only had a few sessions with this therapist, and she isn't an AS specialist, but has worked... |

| I have a problem where there are things that I really want to do, but sometimes I just can't conjure up the energy or the will to do it. I can talk and think about it forever, but when it comes to takeing action, something keeps me from moving forward. A few years ago it wasn't as big of a problem, ... |

| I think it’s possible that I’m a little less vulnerable than most people, because my mom was molested as a child she has taught me to be extra cautious and paranoid. Also I have been told that I radiate a “don’t touch me” aura. This is my experience too. My mothers' sisters were sexually abused, an... |

| Sometimes, I'm just as annoyed at myself as I am with others. Why can't I just blissfully ignore people and not let their behavior get to me so easily? Why do I have become irritated so quickly and let that irritation affect how I react? Often times I do want to be socialize or even just be around p... |

| I get what you're saying....for me its very hard to be open about that sort of thing. For me its hard because growing up I got used to people picking on me and proceeding to do it even more when it became apparent I was becoming upset about it. So I started trying to bottle things up not to mention... |

| Female, and my relationship history is pretty terrible.

Or even why I'm so uncomfortable when a ... |

| I think it could be an aspie thing. Aren't the minds of most if not all people with AS based on truth? Which is why we don't understand or like playing social minds games and have issues reading between the lines? We assume the words that come out of peoples' mouths to reflect exactly what they're t... |
