  • I have known several girls and women that were HFA or AS. It was like two magenets and no work or little effort. I've known some NT women and those didn't go very well. Once with a women who has her own issues and I was not able to realize anything. She could lie and I could not tell.

    Now that I am older it is much harder meeting women. If I were to meet another HFA or AS women I would try again.. Till then, I"m fine being alone.. No more NT women for me.

  • You did a fantastic job of explaining things in a way the average person can understand. It helps so much to have access to this information you are sharing . thank you so much. Can you give any suggestions about how to stop the "thought loop pattern" once you reconize you are doing it?

  • Laura, this is Stephanie.

    I'm gonna be honest with u.

    I do not agree with your video (as far as I'm concerned)

    I do not want to be lonely for the rest of my life b/c honestly I don't like it it depresses me.

    I want to fall in love with someone who is sensitive, creative, caring and funny.

    Mind u, I have been 'In love' with a german singer named Bill Kaulitz for a year now (I refuse to say obsessed b/c my love for him is more of concern)

  • too much in any relationship, too much is obsessive and thinking too much

  • @healthmusic Congratulations to you both!! My partner has AS and although I love him dearly I do struggle sometimes. I was wondering what challenges you both faced along the way ?

  • Wow, this makes so much sense, this is really helpful for me, especially since I'm a teenage girl

  • Relationships, I will be the first to say they don't come easy for someone with AS or other HFA's. However, I am living proof that it is not impossible. On June 13, 2011 Sharon and I have celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary. We are still very much in love; love has passed the test of time. 

  • @Thanos700 Much of what you have said is very true. I wouldn't say most people; a lot of people associate autism with MR. It is possible for one to have both; but they are not the same. Yes, in some cases autism, especially classic autism can cause MR. Asperger's may differ from Classic Autism or Rett, or PDD. Asperger's is of the high functioning forms of autism; normally have a higher than normal IQ. We're half in our own world, yet connected with the real world.
