    Aspie boyfriend?

    I'm very sorry to hear that. I'm sorry you lost your wife - both ways. Marriage did the same for me - before it was bad. I felt safe and I felt like I belonged somewhere in the world.

    I can't tell you how much I appreciate your input. Here I am in your space, asking questions and I'm grateful for giving me some insights. Your story of your first girlfriend reminds me of my second date with my Aspie. I told him I was still married. His face completely changed and his demeanor...

    Aspie boyfriend?

    Wow. You're right. I don't get it at all. I think it's endearing, to be honest. The closest I think I can understand is the mode I go into when I'm helping troubled kids.

    I was mostly sad that Aspies end up as exes.

    Wow. I grew up next to a tape factory (Tuck Tape) and smelled adhesives all the time. I had chronic everything.

    Wow, that's fascinating. I wonder if it's coincidence or if there's a connection.

    Many of us with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities also have sensory processing issues. I've been that way since I was a kid, but I also have severe sensitivities to VOCs and fragrances. I can 100% relate to noise and light overstimulation. I can't handle loud, especially loud pitched noises. Car...
