    Positive thinking - the path to happiness?

    Yes, I think it very useful and a simple way to improve quality of life.

    NT with aspie bf witth anger rants

    Anger issues rarely go away in NTs or Autistics. If he isn't interested in addressing it immediately and full commitment I would depart I'm afraid.

    Self-flagellation

    I have always thought it dum. Why would you want to hurt/injure yourself? But when you think about it it has occurred in many places and times around the world as a cultural practice. In our own time we have seen a sort of epidemic of self harming (ie. cutting) and some report a sense of...

    I'm not sure if this is the last of her

    This has disaster written all over it and I only read about 1 paragraph.

    Time Isn't Real

    Time may not be the same everywhere, but if you ever needed just one moment more to complete something, you know it is a reality.

    Autism Speaks and the Color Blue

    I see Autism speaks as a early support/action group. But not for autistics. It was for family members primarily at first and then anyone who has to deal with autistics. They got some heavy weigh support because there wasn't much else out there and autism was exploding in the public...

    Extrovert, Introvert, Ambivert, Omnivert Poll

    I want to invent a new Vert. Blabbovert. Not an extrovert in the socially aware sense. Just will not stop talking. Ever. ;)

    What song are you listening to right now?

    Extrovert, Introvert, Ambivert, Omnivert Poll

    By nature definately an introvert. With masking skills and experience I can mimic extroversion but only do so when I have to, not by choice.

    Wedding Dresses

    I guess the dress is important but I believe the ride more so. ;)

    Lifetime VIP Pricing Returns to Normal Soon

    Yes, thanks @Satal for keeping the community going. This might be a good place to make a suggestion for an additional level of membership. Something I tentatively call 'Eternal Membership'. What it is, is that for $45 your brain gets donated to AutismForums whenever you cross the Rainbow...

    Married but have parallel lives...

    I think some form of therapy, either counseling or perhaps medication might be helpful for him. But it can be difficult for people to first see and then act on the real problems and it requires him to buy in to the idea. Rather then approach it as something he should do instead plant the seed...

    do you think autism is genetic?

    I feel it can definately be passed on genetically, but also brought on by environmental factors. But by environmental I mean exposure to certain chemicals as in pesticides, herbicides and pollutions. But it does not depend on the person being exposed (except perhaps in the womb), but by the...

    Interested in Becoming a Father

    Props for working thru it. I think there is something askew with a therapist who suggested that, and you may consider getting someone new. If you have something to give I concur with the getting a dog or cat suggestion if you feel up to the responsibility and expense. And taking one out of a...

    Interested in Becoming a Father

    I've been here 10 years and this may be the strangest post I've ever seen. You want someone you don't know or love to do you a favor and carry a child for 9 months and give birth to a child and then give it up for adoption?

    Do you have difficulty remembering names of people?

    Yes, absolutely. My whole life. Also can't remember numbers, passwords, formulas, etc. But faces and voices are different. I remember those very well.

    Hi Everyone

    Trying to tell someone is very tricky and although sometimes it works out well it also can backfire, sometimes pretty dramatically. I haven't been in that situation myself but have read people relate the various reactions they get. My own approach would likely be not to. But if the subject...

    Boyfriend is obsessed with me

    An autistic person may have much to learn about relationships, but to work the autistic person must be teachable. He clearly is not at that stage. Perhaps losing this relationship may start to make the lightbulb go off in his head that he has to make changes, perhaps not.
