been dating for 5 months, but known her for longer, and about her behaviour, like many people have said, and i've said it before, shes just socially awkward, like shes different, like chestbrah or something before he started lifting, i dont know how to describe it man. At first i thought " lol she's awkward in a cute and honest way" an now i realise she is like this only because she has asperger's syndrome, which really made me think about the past and why she is the way she is
made me lol, she's just socially awkward, nothing that ppl wouldn't do, but i read that asperger's on girls are much more mild than it is on guysLast edited by goestyou3; 08-12-2011 at 06:11 AM.

Sounds like this is more of a big deal for you than for her, sounds like she doesn't let it get in the way of putting herself out there and meeting new people like yourself and such, don't be a **** OP, if you like her, which I assume you do as you're going out with her, then stay with her. If you're more socially awkward than she is and care what some other *******s think of you because you're dating a girl with what sounds like a mild form of Aspergers, then dump her and be forever a ****
I would tell you to read the book The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-time, but it doesn't seem very relevant to be honest.

thnx for the input and of course this is more of a big deal for me, i don't have to live with it for the rest of my existence, but she does, but i'll say it again, her "uniqueness" did draw me to her, but it wasn't her that was unique, it was the asperger's, so thats the real problem, im looking at it from a long term perspective here

*pretty crazy how the label shifts your entire perspective. i'm into quirky girls too i guess and if it turned out to be because of aspurgers, it really would kill the fukkin magic. OP, your girlfriend a girl version of this guy?

You met her, you liked her, you spent a lot of time with her and stayed with her, still liked her, then found out there is a medical label for her quality that you liked initially but now you don't want to be with her because of that?
Makes sense. What if it was called the happy syndrome instead, or she never told you, would you stay with her?

So let's say out of all the variables your relationship consists of only her label "Asperger" is enough of a change for you to leave her? How about you find out for yourself whether you guys match. A diagnosis without consequences or change isn't really meaningful to you. Except now you know where some of her inadequacies stem from.

Hey OP, i studied this stuff in a brain class I took lol and i know people in real life with it so I guess I can tell you some things..
As they grow older they get better and since you've held a relationship with this girl and the only thing you've stated is she's socially awkward then she'll pretty much live a normal lifestyle brah but be prepared to face more awkward situations and it'll probably piss you off (like literally make you rage) when she doesn't want to do something but it's part of the disorder. Another thing you might have missed (only some do this as well) is that she'll follow a certain schedule and do things in a repetitive manner.
Again OP like I said for the most part AS only plays a huge role to children, as they grow they pretty much become normal brah
Oh one other thing i'll mention is AS is genetic sooooooooooooooooooo if in some crazy situation your condom breaks and this girl becomes pregnant with your child, good luck with raising a child with AS (I can tell you from experience that they are annoying and extremely difficult as **** lol)
Ask me anything else you wanna know brah ^_^

Giggity!
OP, perhaps suggest your girlfriend (or you, if you stick around) look into alternative medicine. Even conventional medicine recognizes that alternative approaches lead the way in dealing with autoimmune/behavioral issues (and anything you would discover about autism, btw, would apply to aspergers). Very often the issue is as simple as severe food allergies, which can do damage people do not realize. (A famous example is Jenny McCarthy's son with autism, she tried every conventional approach around the world, and nothing. Once she discovered his food allergies (gluten is always one of them), he was, essentially, "healed").
Also, sometimes the culprit can be a condition known as Pyroluria.
Here are some places place to start, if you are open/care to.

It's a fake syndrome so people can excuse non proper behavior. It's a bs diagnosis. She can learn proper social behavior after a while. She has to actually try to learn emotions and actions that come naturally to normal people.
I have it, it just took a while to understand how normal people work. I was not able to understand jokes; now people tell me I am funny all the time. Tell her to grow up and if she starts acting mean tell her she is being mean, she can and will learn.Life is easy when you take personal responsibility

this "detective excuse" is pathetic. screen cap your pictures, then there is nothing anyone can do.
detectives work because retards leave exif data, names, faces, etc,. and other clues. remove that ****, no ****ing problem
this is largely true. i'm neurotypical, but on the edge. i have to work hard to mimic normal behavior sometimes, but i'm willing to work. plenty of neurotypical people are *******s because they are unwilling to work, it's in general a ****ty excuse to be an *******.

Then you never had it.
I have been diagnosed with it and it's ****ing horrible. Social awkwardness is just the beginning, the only good thing about having it for me has been being very knowledgable in every subject I get interested in. I had finished with all high school maths exams by the time I was 13.
@OP, don't question her about it. I used to hate it when someone asked me why I was so quiet in class

Not necessarily true that he "didn't have it" (although nobody really "has it", it's just a name for a set of symptoms they couldn't "treat", and the symptoms are often identical to someone with known severe allergies). Plus, there are degrees of severity (as with autism) and it is often much harder on a kid. If not too severe, one can "grow out of it", learn to manage it as they get older, out-will it. (Though ideally it would be best to figure out why one is experiencing these symptoms and do something about it.)

Ignoring your false sense of intelligence everybody thinks they have including me with my 154 iq....Aspergers people learn to cope with social situations as they get older; I assume you are young, when you hit 25+ and work people don't put up with your ****. You learn to deal with them pleasantly, the only thing is I still don't understand why people act that way, I just don't make myself awkward. Nod and smile.

don't make excuses i'm awkward as ****, i'm prone to say stupid and uncalled for things, i usually just stay quiet and people get mad i don't speak more, etc., etc.
eventually when you get old, and after you work at it, you stop giving a ****. use your gifts man. i'm obsessive about quite a few subjects, i make the most of it. i play up how i'm awkward, since i'm awkward anyways, and people don't give a ****, i'm just "that guy".
it all works out, and i wouldn't change a damn thing.
that movie Adam basically has that message too. it takes for ever to learn how to ape behavior, so just put your time in. there is nothing wrong with a lot of failure, that's a good way to learn!
