Description
the inability for people with autism and other ASD's to understand emotions has always made life complicated. we do not fully know what we see and feel and occasionally make mistakes.at current i am having issues in the romace/love side of things: i keep screwing it up.
we feel things, we just do not know exactly what we are feeling

I had felt the same way too, about love.
Sometimes I messed it up twice.

Sometimes, but I got over the feeling by being with friends.

If u can't understand your emotions u can't manipulate them. I'm currently seeing someone with aspergers and i love how innocent and natural he is. i can see so clearly through he's actions and how he treats me that i mean something to him.
As for not understanding your emotions, sometimes its best not to analysise these things (which i find f'in hard to do myself!) and just go with the flow, let your instinic guide you. I know it can be quite overwhelming, even terrifying, but its SO worth the rewards with (as Magic in my Fingers put it) a really special someone

My problem is that I can't understand very well other people's feelings:when my schoolmates talks about love and family,for exemple...It's a bit hard for me.
The same is for you?
P.S. I've got a mind Asperger form...You're an Aspie too?

yes it is the same, we just do not get it, kind of sad really. most people think we are some kind unfeeling drones or something. soo not true

You're right!!!My schoolmates thinks I'm a kind of monster,just because I can't get them exactly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nah it is the other way around, they are the monsters for not learning how to understand you

yup. and another way to look at it is to think of us kind of like we are visitors from a different plant, The Wrong Plant (hehe), and we came in peace about a century ago, never hurting anyone, just trying to fit in to this unknown society. and what do the humans do??? well the poke and prod and experiment and torture, and all for the sake of learning how we work. rude, whatever happened to being goo hosts??

My problem is i dont think i can fully love like normal people. or if i can its going to take a really special some one. plus the whole dont understanding normal peoples emotions and social ques, this picture really does kinda represent the whole sucky emition thing.
still like being an aspie tho

pretty much the same here. we all like that, so even though there are more people who do not understand there is us and we understand perfectly.
weeeee bunch of freaks X3
and yes being Aspie makes life just a little bit more colourful.

lol you ever read freaks, geeks and aspeger syndrome?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no but i have heard of it. is it any good??

It is, at leats for a parent or some one trying to understand aspergers. To be honest I found it more a self check list, ticking off things that relate to my own Aspie but for those who would like to know how some one else has coped living in a Nonaspie world and for those wanting to understand the Aspie mind a little better who do not have an Aspie mind, it is an interestign read. The mysterious incident of the dog in the night I did not enjoy.

the CURIOUS incident of the dog in the nightime. i found it interesting. how come you did not like it??
Marcelo in the Real world is a good one, i loved it.
i noticed that too, just going through the book, and just ticking everything off one by one. it is always good when people try to understand how we function, makes life a bit easier for us and them

I just didnt not sure why (I havent read it for ages so i'm not surprised i forgot its full name), also my grandmother used it to try and understand what I had and because It wasnt any thing like my aspie she now refuses to accept I have aspergers (Sigh*)
They try, though my mam and i both agree no one with out aspie can fully understand how our brains tick, just like i dont believe i'll ever understand non-aspies, confusing creatures they are lol XD

well, Christopher's Aspergers is much more severe than ours probably are, and there are ranging levels too. i use to be very serious as a child but that has somewhat abated through the years. the part i found sad about the book was that i kept picturing Chridtopher as an 8 y/o not someone who is 15.
haha yes that is a problem, and they are.

I understand what you mean. I keep messing up romance/friendship just because I don't understand what I'm feeling.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sucks doesn't it??
i know what i feel but i cannot do anything about because the boy "thinks" he is too broken to be with anyone, so i have to content myself with being his friend. but the sad thing is i keep trying to be his friend, not lover, but he treats me really badly, kind of second rate. worse, when he looks at me, it feels like my father is staring back.
