People on the ASC can and do have very intense empathy and emotions. All too often it is the neurotypicals who hid or suppress them. Stiff upper and all.

I didn't know very much about ASC until my eldest daughter was born, now I work with ASC adults as well and you're right, it's a message I'll spend the rest of my life trying to get out. Thx @sofabeast

Autistic people have feelings the same as everyone else, they just sometimes take a little longer to show or react to them. I heard an autistic person once describe it as 'buffering' like you get on downloads. It's a great analogy :-)

@Melbates Hans Asperger? As far as I'm aware he was as responsible for identifying autism as Leo Kanner was, Asperger dealt with people showing signs of what is now called autism but without a learning disability, Kanner's work was with autistic people with a learning disability. Their work was done separately although at the same time and comparison afterwards revealed similar traits.

A lot of Christian festivals are based on pagan festivals, it was a way to assimilate the local population. The Romans did it, when they weren't wiping somebody out compleyely, when they recognised that another people's god or goddess was like a Roman equivalent and would then quite often merge them, Sulis Minerva would be an example

I hated this song, now you can share my pain! [youtu.be]

KKGator comments on Mar 27, 2018:

Here's one for you. I have hated this song since the first time I ever heard it as a child. It should be illegal to ever play the original, or any cover of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvjTo-hRD5c

I must admit it is a bit shit lol

Too honest.

ipdg77 comments on Mar 27, 2018:

I think it's better to be honest and get a 'hell no' than to pretend to be something you're not. One of the many problems with conventional dating dates is that you never know if someone is who and what they say they are, Agnostic.com seems to have reduced that

ipdg77 replies on Mar 27, 2018:

@TrailRider I think you're right, if I had commented about this on a regular dating site 99% of the time I wouldn't have got a response but @Marcie1974 replied, you commented and we've now exchanged, I think it's great :-)

Too honest.

How to start a conversation

Observe them for a few minutes. If they don't look up from their book or computer screen, don't bother them. If they look up every few seconds or minute and glance around at what is going on then they are bored/ open to meeting people. Then you just need to catch them when they are looking up ...

Dating

IAMGROOT comments on Mar 26, 2018:

Don't discount this site. Yes, it acts more like a social platform than a dating site. That's a GOOD thing, IMHO. Here, you dive in, get to know folks from their posts, commenting on, and having yours commented on, and then directly interacting via the messenger here. That's more like how you ...

Do you have a checklist/criteria for a potential romantic partner?

Crimson67 comments on Mar 22, 2018:

The older I get, the longer the list becomes and the less interested in a romantic relationship I become.

ipdg77 replies on Mar 25, 2018:

@zblaze It's one of those questions that doesn't easily fit with a simple answer. With regards to immortality, were it offered, there would be a few conditions, not the least of which would be my current health and well being in some sort of stasis to enjoy immortality. And I'm not being bloody minded but the answer to the other bit is still 'I don't know' but it might be fun to carry over memories into a different realm.......and there lies another question :-) Thx Z

@zblaze Hey Z, I answered the question exactly as it was posed at the bottom of the paragraph "Do you think there is life, or some sort of conscious existence, after death?” Answer - I don't know etc.

What are your goals in life?

ipdg77 comments on Mar 25, 2018:

My goals are simple, to hopefully leave a few quid for my girls and have a bank balance of zero so there's no burden for anybody else :-)

ipdg77 replies on Mar 25, 2018:

@Sarahroo29 Yeah sorry, bit of UK slang. It's a term used for money so £10 (Ten pounds) could be called 10 quid. £2 is a couple o' quid and £1 is a quid. :-)

What is the most painful thing you’ve endured?

Crimson67 comments on Mar 24, 2018:

Abcessed tooth. I'll take childbirth over tooth pain any day of the week.

Can't obviously equate it to childbirth but an abscess is unbelievable

@Jnei I wonder if that has something to do with tobacco being described as 'shag', so a nice and well cut tobacco is a 'fine shag'

ipdg77 replies on Mar 24, 2018:

@Countrywoman One of quite a few meanings but the one which appears to date back the furthest is....possibly originating in the 15th century, the frayed end of a piece of rope was called a fag-end and the first cigarettes were unfiltered and/or hand rolled and so presumably looked like the end of a bit of frayed rope.

It's tough, I'm employed and still have to watch the pennies. I don't have much of a social life either but I work some evenings and have my daughter other times and like my own company when on my own so not quite in the same boat, but maybe volunteering at a lunch club or coffee morning? It would ...

@MarcIveson You are right Sir, I stand corrected. DEI GRATIA REGINA, (or DEI GRA REG) which means ‘By the Grace of God, Queen’. Seems to have been a feature on a lot of British coins, my Latin isn't up to much as you can tell.....sneaky bastards! lol
