What is the point of fidget spinners?
The toy has been promoted as helping people who have trouble focusing or those who may need fidget to relieve nervous energy, anxiety, or psychological stress. There are claims that a fidget spinner can help calm down people who have anxiety and other neurological disorders like ADHD and autism. https://www.google.com/search?client=fi ... t+spinners

Just Thought I'd ask because finding people with similar common interests is an easier way to find friends. I know this sounds pretty corny, but it's true.

You will probably have to settle for a long-distance relationship if she is interested.
I have the impression she is a "Jet Setter".

I believe LC was in Paris yesterday.
Who knows where she is today.

Cyberdad,
You don't seem to be very popular here, in this thread.
Perhaps you should skedaddle.

Yep,
There are always exceptions to the rule.

Not sure actually that international flights have been fully resumed in Europe , it would require 14 days self- quarantine anyway moving from country to country. Nobody is "jetsetting" these days IMO.

That is the case here in Australia,
No international travel, unless you are a citizen coming back home.
But I don't know if this is the case in Europe.
Maybe LC is just travelling around France by plane, but France isn't a big country and I would have thought road travel would have been the go.
Or, perhaps she is being repatriated back to Canada.
Whatever the case,
My best guess is that LC likes to globe-trot,
But I have been wrong about her before.
Which is surprising to me, because I'm usually good at sussing people out.
If LC comes back, she might be happy to inform us.

Have you tried dressing like a man? I mean pants, no jewelry, no cleavage showing, cut your hair like a boy.. try to make yourself less attractive to men. This might help them not be as quickly attracted to you. It's just natural for men to be attracted to a nice, talkative woman who is interested in being close to them as a friend, but romantic and sexual relationships often first start with that friendly closeness, and that overlap is irresistible to men to engage in wishful thinking or to imagine a sexual relationship in the future. You cannot be open, talkative and nice to men!! ! They find you attractive because you are pretty and the combination of the two is irresistible. Most women have learned this lesson when they were five or seven years old, but you have not gotten the memo due to Aspergers or Autism or other social developmental delay. You are now coming to realize this (that you cannot be open, talkative, nice to men because they will want sexual and/or romantic relationship) because you've become more mature due to life experience. For most women, it is obvious that being open, talkative and nice to a man is unsafe due to the sexual approaches or desires to approach with that from the man that will follow, so they only do it in safe and controlled situations, where they know the man realizes it is impossible or they are able to control and curtail the man's expectations! I think it is also a good life lesson to keep 'your mouth shut' and not be so naively talkative as it can get you in trouble with people as much as it can be an advantage.
Rather, most women use this ability for fun and to their advantage - be it to make friends at work with more experienced employees, to sell something, to make a man feel better, etc.

To this day, I’m pretty decent friends with two of my former professors. If I would “try anything,” I would be out on my butt
I’m able to “keep my hands to myself.” Other guys are able to “keep their hands to themselves,” too.
Please note that I’m not knocking women. I’m just saying that guys aren’t just whirling dervishes of hormones.

Most men can control themselves Kraftie but there isn't scope for a long term "platonic" friendship if the girl/woman is single.
In the real world I have good working relationship with married women as there is a mutual understanding. Indeed I am able to catchup for coffee with many of my married female co-workers.
Single girls don't make good co-workers for males for reasons I don't really need to spell out.
I've never understood this kind of logic
. Since you're married yourself why would it make any difference if she is or not? One of my closest friends is a woman, our friendship goes back over 3 decades and she has been diagnosed with AS as an adult too. Along the years, sometimes she was single, sometimes I was, sometimes it overlapped. A really good friend is someone who is going to help you when you're down and stand by you, I can't even imagine being such an a-hole to ditch her just because she happened to be single when I got married, no wonder some people can't make and keep good, loyal friends (not directed at cyberdad, others often claim here that you're supposed to cut off your single opposite-sex friends when you're in a relationship

Sarcasm: You just explained the gender opportunity gap and pay gap in IT (and many male-dominated workplaces). Gee, if I'd gotten married earlier, been less attractive, more NT, not mentioned breastfeeding, or perhaps simply homosexual or male, I could have been a contender.
It's ok, Sharon, this is not necessarily the norm. I've gotten very good at "compartmentalising" such things, it's called being professional, and what with HR breathing down people's necks, others had to take a crash course in it too
We're sexual beings, but that's not all there is to us and anybody can learn to control their sexual impulses and how they react. It's also useful, as one can miss out on great opportunities otherwise, both personally and professionally.
