RE: Jenniee ... your anecdote about a friend.

[Guest guest]

Fascinating story you tell, Jenniee. And one that can be very useful to me. I want to ask your permission to use that story about your friend who made up bad things that hadn’t really happened. Of course I wont be identifying you in any way, and I wont be quoting the rest of your post. Thanks, Ron.Subject: Re: Article: Asperger's theory does about-face I would agree with this. See this in myself and my family. As a teen I was often unable to separate my own problems and pain in my mind from my friends and acquaintances problems, even if they did not tell me about them and I just observed it or heard about it from others. I felt their hurt to the point of becoming very depressed. At one point I remember consciously thinking it through and deciding the best option was to not get involved with others stories, problems, etc. I also remember getting angry when I found out a friend had been making up bad things that hadn't really happened to her because I had felt her pain as if it were real.
