| I'm not the original poster, but I think I have an idea of what had happened. OP's husband's family is very bizarre except for his grandparents, who she likes even more than her own family. They're very dear to her. OP had her wedding party, she was very busy trying to fix all of the technical diffi... |

| Most of my choices aren't specifically related to my being on-spectrum, but because I'm trying to eat somewhat cheaply and lose weight. I only have a granola bar (usually a high-fiber/high-protein variety) for breakfast; it's almost like clockwork. I do not have the energy to cook in the morning, an... |

| I've been a diagnosed Asperger for as long as I can remember. (I am almost 23 now.) High school is a complicated answer in my case. I did not drop out, per se, but I failed a compulsory math test that was required to get my diploma, and none of my teachers, nor I, found this out until too late. With... |

| I literally don't care either way about him as a person, as for his music, at least he doesn't sound like a dying cat (to my ears, anyway. But then again, if we're going to go into Justin Bieber vs. reliving emotional traumas, then Bieber, please.). Though I definitely think that the hatred he's kno... |

| I not only got mistaken for being male, I spent years passing myself off as a male on the internet. I don't do it anymore. Am fully honest about who I am these days. I'm pretty upfront about my gender, too - but it never really seemed to stop the confusion in the past. This is probably partially be... |

| I think there is genuinely an improvement in potential if a child is diagnosed early -- as opposed to being diagnosed in later life -- because lack of knowledge and lack of understanding of someone displaying issues can only lead to damaging and inappropriate handling of that person's issues - and ... |

| I'm not available, but even so, I definitely do have traits I find attractive and unattractive in a person (I'll use male pronouns for this theoretical person, I don't really know myself, but I know I like males thus). I need someone who can be both a friend and lover. This is pretty much a literal ... |

| I don't think I'm really either. Visibly I probably come off more masculine, but it's mostly for comfort and a distaste for wasting money when I don't need to. I like more masculine-associated things, such as video games and tech (I know it's a bit more evenly spread now than it used to be) and I do... |

| I do not. My case manager is the closest to one, and she's trying to do what she can to help within her means and role, but I've been a case where formal counseling has generally not been beneficial. (Counselors tend to ask about your life, etc. as part of their jobs. I'm the sort of person who does... |

| It frustrates me so much how I'm dependent on other people to do many things in my life. I live on my own, but because of the lack of license, I can't drive myself places and am dependent on my aunt to help complete most errands - groceries, laundry, most things really. Thing is, my aunt, and most o... |

| With brushing my teeth besides forgetting to do it a lot I don't like the taste of mint and most toothpastes are mint flavored. Definitely a huge issue with me. I use a children's fruit-flavored toothpaste, and it makes the process more pleasant. I don't brush my teeth often, typically once a day o... |

| I think our loyalty is very deep and not given out willy-nilly to everyone. If someone is committed to me, I am deeply, deeply loyal even when I don't *feel* like being loyal. But, that is hard to find. Loyalty goes beyond a job/work. Work is a contract. It is impersonal and centered around the ide... |

| I don't think one should alter their behavior just to be nicer to someone because "that's how society works" Just like one shouldn't look for ways to be rude to someone intentionally and use that as an excuse for asperger's. I agree with this one. I do make a conscious choice to be nicer, but not f... |
