this is an interesting thought. I could say that the same is true for me. i
dont
realy understand where aspergers ends and normmal personality and
preferances begin. i have always been abble to relate to wommen better, and
a lot of times wemmen that i am atracted to think that i am not "manly"
ennough. or that they think that i am gay. its verry confusing for me. aspecialy
when they tell me that they find me atractive.
