    Curry poll!

    I love a good Japanese curry, they're thicker and more robust, but the BEST is an Indian curry with chicken or lamb. When I make curries I include a veggie with the meat, either bok choy and celery or eggplant. Both are AMAZING in curry! Poured over an organic brown basmati cooked in chicken...

    $1.6B Powerball Jackpot!

    If I had any money to spare for a ticket, I'd throw my hat in the running! $1.9B is nothing to pass up....might actually get an amount I can live on for the rest of my life at that level! At least I'd be able to go back to school :)

    Asperger's and jobs

    I'm on SSDI, make less than 1k, can't find a relationship, so I'm alone, and living in an abusive situation with my family. I would KILL to have your life! I'm still trying to find a SO to pool resources with, but its proving difficult for some odd reason. BTW, minimum rent in my area is 1200k...

    Temperature survey!

    I love a good rainy day in the 70's. I exist best in the 65-75 degree range during the day. I do love an OCCASIONAL cold day with snow, but not more than 2-3 days in a row.

    Depression

    Yeah, the social isolation and misunderstandings get me all the time. I'm depressed over not being able to find a job, my various and complicated medical conditions, PTSD, an inability to make and maintain deep friendships, the inability to find a partner for a physical relationship, being...

    Oversharing

    OMG, all the time!! I have to be SO CAREFUL about who I tell what to! It helps that I was raised in a culture of clinical confidentiality and Operational Security, but I have really spilled too much info at times about people when I TOTALLY should have kept my mouth shut. It's like I just can't...

    Have You Ever Had An Uncommon Diet?

    I've got a long history with food. Done it all, just trying to find SOMETHING that didn't irritate my digestive issues. Vegetarianism didn't last long, although I tried it for several years at least 2x. I've discovered a good diet for me is a blend of Zone, Blood Type, and Paleo. While I don't...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Recovering from abdominal surgery, just started reintegrating weights in my workouts. Also, doing PT for rotator cuff injuries. This week my workouts were 35 minutes on the elliptical, shoulder PT exercises, seated squat machine (90#), yoga, and falling practice for Aikido (restarting classes...

    I think I finally burned out my therapist

    We had a good session and talked it all out. We're good! Yeah, he was definitely dealing with some stuff, but he worked it all out and we had a very productive session. I'm so glad, because this is the best therapist I've ever worked with, and I'm not ready to stop seeing him. He has a unique...

    Demand Avoidance

    I find I have a weird mix of things going on. I definitely have some PDA, but for the most part, its not a major player. HOWEVER!!! I've discovered that the time-constraint and reliance issues are certainly a thing for me, but I've discovered that the best way to get me to do something is to...

    Are you "noticeably autistic"?

    I'm not obviously autistic until I open my mouth. Then I just get stared at while everyone shifts about uncomfortably. The longer the interactions go, the more I get pushed away for not fitting in. So frustrating. I just want to actually connect!!

    I think I finally burned out my therapist

    My plan is to offer a break. We spend the rest of the month tying up loose ends and clearing the air, then take a break for a month. Check in after the break and discuss where we want to go from here. I know I do trigger him in some ways, but its only in the last few weeks that its really...

    I think I finally burned out my therapist

    We've been working together for almost 7 years now, but the last few weeks have been....rough. He's been short, impatient, and has mentioned ending therapy for several sessions now. I don't even know what happened! I mean, I can tell when I say something that really rubs him the wrong way, but...

    Your forum has so many adverts that its annoyingly impenetrable

    Yeah, that ads have been way over the top lately. I changed desktops, reinstalled Norton (its supposed to have an ad-blocker), downloaded Firefox as my browser, but still have so many ads I can't even navigate the site here! I'm on disability and operating at a $500 a month deficit, so I can't...

    Infodump about your Special Interests!

    My special interests are stress and trauma psychology, dogs and horses, martial arts, and learning to speak human more effectively. I've learned not to info dump, but to let conversations occur organically, even thought I STILL tend to teach instead of support in interactions with my friends!

    If you could have any classic 80s video game character as a pet/roommate....

    I would totally want Ryu from Street Fighter. What a great roommate!! Sparring partner anytime I want!

    Burger poll!

    Beef is my go-to (grass-fed, of course) but I also love a good Bison or Lamb burger. Turkey is ok, Salmon is amazing, but I really prefer red meats.

    Food spiciness survey!

    I prefer flavor to heat, although I'm not one to shy away from some zing. Lately I've been having trouble with reflux and stomach pain if its TOO hot, but I still love a good cry when I eat sometimes. My friends love to tease me when the Thai place over-spices my plate and I sit there crying and...

    Would aspies be interested in a companion doll?

    I would totally get a sex doll. It's been nearly impossible for me to navigate this level of relationships, so a doll seems like a great way to fulfill my physical needs without major issues. Knowing me and my need for realism and texture-friendliness, I'd go with an expensive model, but I would...
