aspergers and vaping.

Ahh but that kind of associations just worsens my downward spiral. Might get to thinking suicide instead of just being tired of living. Can't go that route. Too much empathy?

That would not be empathy, more like self torture. Ya can't fix reality to match what you think it should be. I say make the best of it

I found in the darkest places there is always a flower. Literal or metaphorical, be it a bunny, little kids smile, or a rose. Always look for the flower.

It's pretty rare for aspies at least. They generally stick to STEM fields and have a general dislike of fiction from what I've seen, but I do have a friend who is an aspie and a classics major.

I tend to do well with written word and I do love fiction, but I really struggle with face-to-face contact. I miss social cues a lot, I struggle with getting my tone correct. . . a lot of times I'll come off as being serious when I'm not, or condescending, or bored even when I'm interested in what people have to say. I also tend to be too loud and have a hard time detecting people's emotions. I can't tell when people are lying, I struggle with knowing somebody is angry or upset unless they are straight up yelling at me or crying. I struggle with friendship and remembering to contact other humans occasionally.

Books, books I can always re-read and decipher. But, everybody has their issues and strengths. I think that for me English also became that "THING" you know, how aspies like zero in on something, that ONE thing and just have to know everything? Yeah. My focus for graduate school was instances of lesbianism in gothic fiction books written by women in the 18th and 19th centuries. Yeah. Specific. But it works sometimes. hahahaha

That's indeed intersting for sure. I have never met an Aspie Woman before... Come to think of it I have not met hardly anyone who is aspie...that is until I landed here and accidentally discovered @theddead

I never learned how to have fun. I think it was a sin...

how on earth can you have boat loads of fun when what others consider "fun" is not any fun to you?? You have to create your own fun, hence the need to become preoccupied with scientific interests.

From what I've heard, women are FAR less likely to be diagnosed aspie, but part of that is because they tend to mask their symptoms better, or they are diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder more commonly.

We'll bring a wagon to attach to the back for you. I'm sure @Boden will promise to only pull you over smooth ground. Come on, it'll be fun.

I would still have the same outlook and lots of pain too. Can't get pain meds any more because of knee jerk politicians and pill heads.
Just destroying my liver with Naproxin.

That's what I've read, and it's true, too, for ADD and any type of learning disabilities.

Tah Dah!!!

You've actually answered one of my questions. I was wondering two days ago if only males are affected.
