Because most people are looking for a superficially perfect person....the syndrome he has actually prevents emotional bonding....like I said we are all friends...no need to get huffy and puffy

I didn't mean to sound bitchy if I did. I guess I was thinking that Asperger's makes social interactions more difficult, and I figured that talking to people online would be easier. But I don't know a whole lot about Asperger's, admittedly.

Now thats disability discrimination and I could sue. I havn't got onto the dating sites as yet because I am looking into them to make sure I don't get ripped off again. I lost £120 on the one I went on.

People go on about how hard it is for us to bond, but what about other normal people bonding with us. It all seems one sided and that causes our behaviours to manifest as we too feel pain and suffering just like ya'll.

I had no idea. It makes me feel for you though because one of my friends had that syndrome, that is why I know about the syndrome. He was a nice guy but really distant and I couldn't read him or his emotions for the life of me.

He runs scenarios through his head like they hit it off and they move in together:

I'll forget to eat
I'll lose my job because I'll never want to leave home
She will tire of me because I'll never want to leave bed and do anything fun
I'll dehydrate
I'll lose interest in sports and friends
When watching Tombstone, Doc Holiday saying I don't know if your an Angel or the Antichrist may no longer seem funny.
