Gay dating etiquette aspergers
I crush on straight men because I know they're unavailable, and avoid having gay friends because I feel inadequate.
SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS
I have a few mostly straight friends but I'm not really terrible close to anyone. I hate going to parties and bars. When I make small talk I almost always do all the probing but never share anything about myself. In general I don't care about other people and their problems but I listen anyway. I have a very small comfort zone and often steadfastly refuse to do anything that ventures outside of it, including playing sports or participating in group activities like yoga or spin class, eating exotic foods, swimming, or riding roller coasters.
I'm going to be moving to a new city soon and I'm going to try to take corrective steps to living a more normal life; although I'm genuinely curious as to how normal I can be. I suspect it may take a bit of intensive therapy before I'm able to pursue a relationship. I'm borderline and in a relationship for 10 years now. Image having to put up with a bill gates for that long?
That's wrong; Do it over. What you mean you can't multiply that? Smells like a sewer in here. Your breath smells like you just ate a canary. The meds I take aren't for Asperger's, rather I've been on them for years because of the depression and anxiety it has caused me Remeron and Klonopin. It's true, there are no meds for Asperger's, but my doctor has just added a third for me that he think will help with my being more relaxed in social situations: I haven't noticed a difference yet, I've only been on it a couple of weeks Again, though, even buspirone is not for Asperger's.
Any such breakthrough would probably be good news for autism patients, too, because Asperberger's is part of the autism spectrum disorders.

One other thing -- gay men can be so critical! Another reason it's hard to be gay and have Asperberger's. I've been publicly criticized for my lack of fashion sense, among other things, by my gay "friends. Wow, you almost described me perfectly!

I was diagnosed this year in the first week of February in my state. Nearly everything you've said is my exact situation. Here's a question for you I have a lot of sensory problems and obviously the social stuff and it makes working and holding a job a pain in the ass. I can't incorporate what interests me into work, at least not where I live currently. They told me I have "high-functioning" Asperger's, which reflects the fact that I get obsessed with science and get pretty good at it However, I have problems at work.
Social situations with my co-workers get toxic and I don't even realize it's happening until they yell at me. I've managed to keep the same job for many years now, but my strategy has been when things get to be too much, I switch to a different shift and therefore a whole new set of co-workers. But I'm running out of shifts. Regarding career, I pursued a dead-end degree in college fine art and had absolutely no career path planned upon graduation.
I worked in an independent bookstore and temped to pay the bills. Temping worked well for me because I'm terrible at interviews.

Half of you cunts just think you have Asperger's. The rest might as well say they have Fibromyalgia.
I recommend not taking any meds if you can help it, therapy is the best route to help you learn social skills. If you really feel like you need to take something to reduce your social anxiety then I recommend taking Omega 3 Fish oil pills, they are a natural mood stabilizer and good for your brain, this was recommended by a Dr. Remember, Rthere are some people out there who believe that your form of cruelty and ignorance should be culled from the human herd.
Don't forget that. Thank you those of you who have posted such supportive and kind answers. I wish there was a way we could continue this discussion, but one of the social skills I certainly don't have is how to deal with hateful comments on the internet, a few of which can be seen before this. So, goodbye, it was nice talk to MOST of you! I found some of the hateful comments so discouraging that I can't visit here again. Based on r44's post one sign of Asperger's is failure to separate lenghy messages by using paragraphs.
Not that it sometimes doesn't help cut to the chase.

I once hooked up a few times with a cat. Well, officially a man. But every single time we had sex, he ended me meowing. Or just a typical DLer? I didn't think I would ever come back here after the vicious comments that were first posted about gay men with Asperger's. However, I'm glad to see that a moderator seems to have removed them. I still am VERY nervous about posting on here, because of the description of this forum: I found a much better site for gay men with Asperger's.
The Dark Side of Asperger's - Guernica
It's at the link, and it's moderated. There are tons of straight people on there with exactly the same relationship problems. I was shocked to discover that straight people with Asperger's are far more unlikely to be homophobic. Maybe because there are more important things we're all dealing with, like how to make friends and get into a relationship? The AS is pretty mild and I can usually fake it.
I was almost completely non-verbal until I was four, speaking only to my sister - and that was non-stop. I was home schooled until I was old enough for secondary school because I could not tolerate what the ADHD meds did to me. I'm a bit of a savant in that I can instantly do mathematical equations in my head, for instance, I can immediately convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius even though if you asked me to explain how I did it, I couldn't tell you.
I have major trouble meeting guys. I have no way of discerning if a guy is interested in me and, if I finally figure out that he is interested, I usually run away screaming. I also have trouble picking up on signs about what a guy wants - whether it is a one-nighter or he's interested in a relationship.
This has led me to making a few mistakes when I thought a guy was interested in pursuing a relationship when he is not. I'm also brutally honest, although I have been able to modify that over the years. I am no good at game-playing within a relationship either, because I don't pick up on the cues that the other person is sending. I tend to get hyper-focused about things, which can scare guys away. Unfortunately, I am totally unable to focus on something if I'm not interested in it, so I am not very empathetic to what other people enjoy.
I find it suspicious that you are aware of your behavior. Almost bragging about it. Which makes me question the validity of assburgers. R71, If I were your doctor I would diagnose you with hypochondria and prescribe you therapy. I don't take meds for anything except my ADHD, because I wouldn't be able to attend school without it.
Why do you think I'm a hypochondriac? I know a guy who has big time AS. He's just "odd".
