    Looking in the mirror (self-reflection)

    Recently a girl I've been seeing asked me if I was nervous around her. Being that I chose not to lie in my life today. I said that at first she did make me nervous. I was scared shitless but upon self-reflection it had nothing to do with aspergers or anxiety. My life is such that those are...

    Getting back in the game

    So I'm in that awkward stage of life where I was in a relationship for so long that I forgot how to pick up and date girls. In the past I never really had much of a problem getting girls. This was for various reasons, I've been told I was attractive, girls liked the bad boy aura I had, I can...

    Aspie central the book

    So I have an interesting idea. But I'm not sure if I'll describe it properly. I enjoy feeling like I'm not alone, like I'm not the only on who deals with aspergers and that there is other people out there who have overcome difficult times in there life to grow into better people. I've looked...

    Finding your tribe

    Odd how the NT world thinks aspies lack compassion, empathy and feeling. In my short time on these forums I've received more kind words, encouragement and understanding then I've received from almost anywhere else. It could be said the therapeutic value of one aspie helping another is without...

    How to seek faith despite logic

    I'm trying to find some more spirituality in my life (not religion just something greater the myself). I've tried in the past and frequently run into the issue of logic outweighing spiritual faith and I inevitably give up trying and continue to bump along in the dark that is life, with nothing...

    Let's talk Pirates, Buccaneers and Privateers

    When I was in my 20's one of my interests was pirates. Now my favourite pirate is Jack Rackham I even have his flag tattooed on my arm. How about anyone else was or is anyone interested in pirates and if so who's your favourite?

    Go to your happy place!

    I'm curious as to what or where people feel the most happy/comfortable. For me because of my job it's usually high up in the air walking on a 2 inch piece of steel. I'm happy up there because the world becomes a tiny speck in my peripheral vision, all the problems in my life seem so minuscule...

    Understanding the opposite sex

    Hmm I figured I'd make a post in the hope of getting a better understanding of the opposite sex, seeing as how I can be completely clueless at times. So here's my dilemma my "wife" and me are currently separated. We seem to be communicating better then we have in years. Over the last 2 weeks...

    Initiating and maintaining a conversation

    I know I struggle with both these things. I generally don't ever initiate a conversation with someone I don't know. The anxiety of feeling rejected if someone doesn't respond makes me just keep my mouth shut until someone says something and I can either respond or jump into a conversation with...

    Aspie Anger

    In many books and websites it talks about how people with aspergers are prone to fits of rage and anger. I've been on this forums and it seems like the only time it's ever really mentioned is when someone is talking about their spouse or significant other who has Aspergers. I for one hate...

    Aspie in 12 step recovery

    I'm wondering if anyone here is in a 12 step program. I've decided to go back to meetings recently because with the separation from my wife and total loss of security and a safe place to call home I've started to think drugs would be a good idea to ease the pain I feel. I'm struggling and most...

    Was there always advertisements on the taptalk iOS app for this forum. Or is it just that I never noticed them?

    Here's an odd question

    Am I the only one that rarely dreams when they sleep and I know what your thinking it's not that I don't remember it. I clearly remember most nights of dreaming of just sleeping. So the question is does anyone else rarely dream or simple dream the exact same dream every night?

    Too little too late

    So when you wait to long to address certain relationship related asperger traits it can lead to your wife asking you to leave. Now with hope and work she'll see you change and become the person that she married again but I can only hope for now. Has anyone ever managed to salvage there...

    Are you afraid of the dark?

    I'm curious as to what people are really afraid of and how it affects your life. For me the big 3 are commitment, change and being judged. Fear of Commitment has led to many fights and my wife in tears many times because I didn't ask her to marry me. Fear of Change has led to me refusing to do...

    Figuratively speaking vs literal thinking

    I find nothing more frustrating and confusing then when people decide to use a "figure of speech". As a kid my parents had to stop telling me to "stop talking" because I would literally stop talking until someone told to speak again. As a teenager I got in a lot of trouble when people said "they...

    Hello I'm new here

    Hello I was diagnosed with Aspergers 2 years ago. I spent all of my teenage years addicted to drugs and got clean when I was 20 years old. I've been clean and sober for 12 years now. I've been in a relationship for 10 years. We've been struggling for a lot of that but made it work, although...
