Wildman has also said he once found a woman’s discarded flat shoe in a parking lot, which he then took home and sniffed whilst masturbating. He then deleted the post out of regret, but not before I managed to read it. Yeah, that sounds like Wildman. What do you fools do on the knitting circle now? I'm asking in all earnestness. We talk about religious exegesis, the latest advances in philosophy and science, geopolitical theory, warfare and its flow-on effects during the course of history, and the best ways to remove dried cum from hair.

actually .. yes. Sounds rather like a form of autism ... this lack of connection and bonds. It does kind of sound like autism or Asperger's, even. The only thing that would make me think it's not autism is that people with autism or Asperger's is that I don't believe they are aware that they do not make connections with other people. They just do their thing and go on their merry way. I have a friend who has Asperger's and he is the most clueless person I know. He seems to like everybody and everything and would just as soon strike up a conversation with a rattlesnake. I'm not sure if he has been depressed a day in his life. That doesn't sound like the OP. 2 things here. 1. Asperger's is high functioning autism and now both are referred to as just "Autism Spectrum Disorder." 2. I am more than aware and I think so are many people who have Asperger's syndrome. In fact, my awareness of me being so different makes life even harder for me. Though I can't speak for everyone with Asperger's obviously. Your friend actually doesn't even sound like the typical Asperger's personality based on what you have said about him and based on what I know about people with Asperger's.

Though I can't speak for everyone with Asperger's obviously. Your friend actually doesn't even sound like the typical Asperger's personality based on what you have said about him and based on what I know about people with Asperger's. My friend is classic textbook diagnosed Asperger's. I suppose that on some level he knows that he is different. But he does not pick up on social cues at all, he does not pick on body language or nuance in tone and he does not have a grasp on appropriate behavior, especially in public. You have to be very blunt with him. When we've hung out or talked on the phone, and the time has come when I have to go, I have found that nothing gets through to him better than "Walter, I need to disengage right now." You have to be blunt blunt blunt with him or he does not get it. One time Walter and I and a couple friends went to some Pakistan restaurant and Walter ordered fried brains for his dinner. Oh boy did he enjoy those brains. In the middle of dinner, he sticks out his arms directly in front of him and starts chanting "brains! brains!" He was re-enacting a scene from "Night of the Living Dead", and while he got a huge chuckle out of it, my two friends had no idea what was going on. It was not a pretty picture. Then after Walter was done eating, he took out his upper plate and proceeded to floss out the brains that got stuck in between his false teeth. "La-la-la-la-la..." I can't even tell you how disgusting that was, but I know that he didn't know any better, so later on, I said to him in a gentle tone "Walter, you're not supposed to floss your teeth at a public restaurant." To his credit, he thanked me for pointing this out to him. It's not that he doesn't want to learn. But you have to be extremely explicit and direct with him. Another time, we were out to dinner with same friends, and Walter pulls out a handkerchief to blow his nose. Okay. Not super pleasant at the dinner table, and he could have turned his head away, and he could have said "excuse me", but instead he opened up his handkerchief to see what he had produced and there was all this green-yellow snot for the rest of us to see and then he just says "oh, wow", which actually made it worse. Then another time, my very patient and understanding friends gave Walter a third chance for some social interaction. We went to an Italian restaurant and my friend Tom ordered calamari as an appetizer. The very second the waiter brought Tom his plate of calamari, Walter chimes in "Oh, that looks really good. Can I have some?" Tom was fine with sharing and he was said okay, and he was about to use the side salad plate for the calamari to give to Walter, when Walter reaches over and uses both hands to take exactly half of the calamari off Tom's plate. Tom said nothing and Walter was just blah blah. In other ways, he is kind and sweet and very interesting and super intelligent in his own peculiar way (borderline savant), and he has interesting things to share, and I can tell that he appreciates me and I think I am the only person who actually will listen to him and try to get inside his world and let him have the floor 75% of the time, but he is not capable of moving out of his world and seeing something from somebody else's perspective. And you can't get mad at him, because he wouldn't understand. The hardest part for me is that you cannot be subtle. And he doesn't listen. He hears what he wants to hear, and he interrupts other people all the time in an attempt to move the conversation off track and onto something that HE wants to talk about. None of this makes me think that Walter is very much aware. Besides that, Walter told me that he was diagnosed with Asperger's. Okay, I'm done. Whew, I really needed that!

I'm sure Lilith waxes poetic on it all. Oh, indeed. In fact, wax is the top-recommended substance for cummy hair.

He sounds more severe than most. I mean there are people who have Asperger's who are actors and teachers and writers etc., and I doubt these people go around doing what he is doing. The people I have met who have Asperger's are A LOT more subtle than your friend. One of my big problems is it is very hard for me to process my own emotions and I get annoyed and frustrated very easily and will often lash out in one way or another. I enjoyed reading everything you wrote above btw.

A lot of that stuff is just etiquette, and it's going to be a matter of whether someone cares about conforming to etiquette or not. It's not like either you conform to etiquette or you have some sort of mental disorder.

Unlike Tokyo who isn't a pervert but merely wants to prove to others that he is one. Well, or me. I'm a pervert but I don't feel at all unhealthy about it.

Like I said, I can't really get mad at Walter, and yet he drives me crazy sometimes. But he has his good points, too. My catalog of friendships comprises some kind of motley crue.

You know, it’s odd that one can’t floss their teeth in public but you can apply a toothpick to your gnashers all you want in a restaurant and no one says boo. Using a toothpick is more subtle than using dental floss. But I see your point.

I can't say for sure whether or not my friend has ever experienced depression. He just doesn't come across as though he does. But that might be a function of the Asperger's. He's different.

Using a toothpick is more subtle than using dental floss. But I see your point. They have toothpicks at the restaurants but you are supposed to duck into the bathroom to take care of business. There are people with Asperger's and people who were just never taught how to be human beings. And then, there are people who have both.
