I do not mean to offend in my ignorance of Aspergers...
It also kept me from posting, although you're in very good hands with Kaffe.
I am more of an indirect poster. I don't want to tell a person what to do, I'd rather get a person to think. To see outside the box. I like asking questions in order to do this. Questions, hopefully designed to look at yourself.
I don't know if I'm going to be helpful or hurtful to you though.
But I also do not want to think I abandoned you either.
The confidence thing.
I totally lost mine when all of this happened to me as well.
I found that by starting small, doing little things to get my confidence back help alot. Smile at a pretty woman, and get on in return. Build something or fix something, a little bit more. Small steps to regaining the confidence in myself.
