    Autism and children

    No need to answer all the questions here. Just a jumping off point, really: Did you also have a parent with autism? If so, how did that go? Did you learn anything from their mistakes? If you are a parent, do you consider yourself a good one? Do you think your children are negatively affected...

    "I don't really listen to music..."

    ... is my answer whenever someone asks me what kind of music I like. What weird habits or preferences do you have difficulty explaining to others?

    Suck it up, buttercup

    I'm torn between the two points of view: 1) that Aspies face special challenges and are misunderstood and undervalued by NTs and need to be given a break/special tolerance sometimes ...and... 2) that life just isn't fair and you need to pony up and do whatever it takes to succeed at life in the...

    Are your relationships transactional or inspired?

    Which of these quotes applies to your romantic relationships? If the last, then doesn't that make you a kind of prostitute or mercenary? If the first, then why do you suppose relationships fail? Because people change? Or because they fail to change? And if that's so, if there's something missing...

    Ooops, I did it again...

    I hurt someone, perhaps irrevocably. Didn't validate them when they needed validation. Didn't read the subtext. Didn't offer support and encouragement when they needed it. Again. I just said what I thought. Are Aspies better at understanding other Aspies? Or are we just doomed to keep...

    How do you react to people who are different or slow?

    How do you treat people who are different or slower than you, for whatever reason? I tend to see "differentness" as something positive, even aspirational. I think it's foolish to expect everyone to think alike, act alike. Oddness is often thought provoking and always entertaining, though I do...

    How do you get your emotional needs met?

    Do you ask directly? Do you ask indirectly? Do you put on an act/play a role (the good boy, the attention whore?) Do manipulate? Do you ignore other people and go your own way? Does what you do work? Are you apt to meet the emotional needs of other people when they need it? Do you have...

    singing off tone (two part thread)

    (pulled from another mental health forum) When you commit a social faux pas, sing out of tune with the choir: Is this because you actually don't hear the tone they're singing is different than yours? Or you do hear and you just don't think it matters, for some reason? Or do you hear it and...

    How do you handle workplace bullying?

    How should an Aspie handle workplace bullying? Assuming that ignoring it or making a complaint to the management would not help? Assuming that it's not possible to absolutely prove that the person is being targeted because of their Asperger's and not for some other (legally permissible, though...

    How do you use the internet?

    I find I interact with people on the internet very differently than in real life. Online I seek validation and attention, develop ideas, process my thoughts, practice empathy, and build an identity. The rest of the time I zone out and just ignore people. It's strange. Interaction with people...
