asperger and love

Postby aspie » Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:54 pm

Hi!
I'm a girl from 19 years old and I have Asperger.
In all this years I learned so much that I really look like a normal girl. (and there's no-one who knows that I have Asperger)
But there's still 1 problem: when I'm in love with someone I can't act normal, I'm sooooo shy (when I was younger I was always shy), I can't even talk cause I don't know what to say, and afterwards I feel so stupid, because I always ###$ things up, because of my asperger..
So do you have the same problem?
And what can I do about it?
Because, there is a boy in my class, and he's sooo sweet, I don't even know him very well, but i'm in love with him. And he's shy too, so when I go to him, we always say two sentences and that's it :roll: very stupid, because I want to know him better, but I just can't talk anymore when I see him. And everytime this happens I feel so stupid and I feel the same as years ago, when I had Asperger very very hard, I can't even look in other people's eyes anymore, and i can't talk anymore to people I know (and normally It's no problem at all), just because I feel so bad.

I understand what you are going through. Back in my junior year of high school, I had this crush on this gorgeous, intelligent, all too polite actress/dancer. She was two years younger than me. So that made matters between us even more awkward. During the first five or six months of my crush on her, whenever I'd see her in the hall, I'd walk the other way....You know, I can't respond to this forum. I'm just so upset right not. I..just don't know what to say. I'm sorry for putting this on your blog, Aspie but I am sick of these people who tell Aspie men that WE NEVER MARRY OR GET GIRLFRIENDS!! THEY DON'T WANT US!! I'm so upset about this GODDAMNED NTS who label Aspies as "flat and boring". That couldn't be farther from the truth. I hate it when some not all Aspies reduce their lives to DSM IV criteria. I'm sorry about writing this right now, but I had to get this off my chest! I really hope that you find love, that ...well, about the girl who I had a crush on, I wrote a poem called The social ignorance that scarred lindsey cabour. (You can read it in the poetry forum) I showed it to her and she thought it was amazing. I'll reply to you later. Thanks, Aspie.

You can't imagine how sorry I am for my outburst. I...just whenever the subject of relationships comes up...it's just that I'm 90% sure that I understand what it's like to be attracted to an NT with a high social standing, especially in social hierarchy of high school. I'm sorry I have to run again. I just didn't want you to feel threatened by me.

Had this problem in puberty, but not anymore. If I want something (Or in this case someone) I'm going to do my best to get it. If you know that one method's not working well, and you still have the opportunity to change it, change it in a way that you think might be more succesfull.

More than 'get your act together'-advice you'll unfortunately not get from me, I'm not really experienced with coupling. But someone needs to take the initiative and if he won't you'll have to. Might take some guts, but if you feel that he's worth it, it's worth to take the risk.
