  • My wife and I meet at a small cafe in my hometown, we talked for a while. I had no thoughts or feelings like a nineteen would have towards a young attractive girl. Soon to be my wife, Rita had no clue as I had no clue there was anything wrong with me. Rita helped me over the last 30 years to find love and affection. My psychologist can't understand how I got these new feeling and emotions helping me to feel love for her. Along with another psychologist who can't believe what I can feel today.

  • i have Asperger Syndrome, this is very inspiring, unfortuneately, Asperger Syndrome or any Form of Autism hurts males way more than females, since we guys traditionally, always have to be the ones to make the first move, initiate the date and relationship

  • @neuroleptika Hold on, hold on. Now, I'm going to vouch, as a high-functioning autistic and neurodiversity advocate who has lived and worked around autistics from all over the spectrum and with neurotypical parents of people from all over the spectrum, that treehugger has a point- it may be a spectrum, and it may not be a one-dimensional spectrum, but it's true that classic autistic people have a MUCH harder time communicating and functioning in NT society than 'HFA'/Aspies do.

  • @Treehuggerapryl You really don´t get it...autism is not something that is easy to understand, everyone is not like your kid, the spectrum is big but it is absolutly the same disorder in various variations....it´s a braindamage (I choose to call it that) and the brain is very complicated, and all braindisorders are very unpredictible and hard to understand, people with the same disorder can have very different symptoms but the base of it all is the same. It also has to do with how they grow up.

  • My daughter has autism. She cannot speak, hurts herself and hurts others. She is still in diapers. This is nothing like autism. NO it's NOT 'almost as bad as low-functioning'

    Asberger's maybe. Autism, no. Label is being used for everybody nowdays.

  • I couldn't deal with the gum chewing either!

  • i feel happy for them.
