    Requiem for a Friend

    I just wanted to share a (multi-post) story about a person who was a fantastic friend to me and many other people. This is some journalling I did when she died at age 88 last year.

    Discussing grief with a friend

    Just over a month ago I discovered an aspie friend of mine in his late teens (we're not overly close but he's more than an acquaintance) had lost his mum. Tragically, she had a recurrence of cancer that was not curable. This had given him time to process the impending loss so it was not a sudden...

    Coping with grief - or not?

    Hi there. I just got a message that one of the people I consider precious and that I have left behind, well, she died yesterday around 9 pm. However, I don't feel anything I feel I should. Before when those I considered mine left, I would be heartbroken. Then, I stopped feeling much. Still...

The winds of life may bend us at times, but we DO NOT break. Nobody ever promised life would be easy, or fair. Yes, we can strive for such in our...

    Hi, Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Does anyone else struggle to keep friends, especially good/best friends? Since I realised I might have Asperger's, I started thinking back to all of the very good friends I have lost in my life. And I clearly have a habit of losing friends. Not...

    Hi

    Hi, I'm new on here. I haven't been diagnosed with Asperger's yet, but I (and many people around me) feel that I do have this. Has anybody else had a lot of problems with friendships? I have never been able to keep close friends, and have frequently had meltdowns leading to the friend just not...
