I'm self diagnosed and fit most of the criteria for having Asperger's.
If this diagnosis is correct and is something a person is born as then I was and aspie before it was invented.

You know... when you're alone, in the woods and happy, but then you meet a family or some group of people and it really ruins your day? It is only me?

In all of these deaths, I felt shocked and sad, but never cried or felt devastated. I moved on quickly.

Is there anybody here with Asperger's who has any advice or anecdotes to help me gain some insight and knowledge in this area, please? :?: :? ...

I'm not sure if this will fit in here, but I'll give it a try. A few months ago I met this guy who I ended up falling madly in love with, but the thing is, he lives on the other side of the country.
