| yeah, now that I read your OP again.... I'd take a serious break from the relationship. I like the idea of writing the letter. If you find you love him and really want to be with him, you'll probably get back together. Doesn't seem like he's going to hook up with anyone else very soon. Anyway, you a... |

| I need at least one long, hot, bath a day. If I can stay in an hour and a half I will, but 45 mins is doable. Someone said, it's the only way to be alone....and it's true. I like to think of it as a hydrotherapy squeeze "machine". The pressure of the water on my body soothes me. also, my kid never l... |

Maybe I can assist from afar. The only way I could come would be if I could get paid. Yeah I know, right? Very supportive of the ... |

| I wouldn't do either. Confrontation seems so offensive. Maybe counseling would help? Sexual counceling? Focus on the conflicts in your relationship, not if he is or isn't AS. Is he open to an open sexual relationship? Maybe just researching adaptive therapies and suggesting he try things could help.... |

| Also, what problems could an official dignosis of Asperger's cause me in the future? I wish I could see into the future and answer that for you....but it seems that people in this thread have only mentioned problems, not benefits. the #1 reason seeming that health insurance could be impossible to g... |

| Yes. I am. I was much more when I was younger. I think now I am able to see myself doing it more and back off on it. I used to do it to my boss all the time (luckily she's also my best friend....still is). I was working as an AV tech at a College and she'd tell me to do something and I would spend t... |

I did talk to someone at Fraser who said they were developing systems of diagnosis for adults and I should get back to them. I still ha... |

Your Aspie score: 167 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 48 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie
not surprising.

I guess my son's diagnosis is enough for me right now, though reading this thread makes me want to be tested.
where is this quiz that so many of you have scores for in your signatures?
I'll try to search on "quiz" and find it. |

Well, I'd say at even 6 or 7 yrs old I was sexual with boys in ways I didn't understand I shouldn't be. But they were my age, and kids experiment with each ... |
