Fair-weather FriendsWay to many people have that additude I'm afraid.😔It seems like toned down traits of narcissism and machiavellianism are everywhere. It's sad really.- FayetheADHDsquirrel

I haven't posted for awhile because I was busy with a play and also I needed to rest my hands. I am having trouble learning to accept the fact that I can't go full-bore 8 hours at work and then come home and fool around on the computer. So every now and then I have to take a "sabbatical" from...
my situation is this, i currently live with my parents, my sister, her partner and their two children in a 3 bedroom house (turned into a four bedroom with me sleeping downstairs) given i hate loud noises the fact that the living room is right next door should give you an idea of the noise level...
Hey there,
Well, I just started an update but because my new work computer (because we have moved locations) is so ****ing crap, I lost my post. I am still waiting for one of the most important tools on my computer to actually start working so I can call a ****ing pain in the neck back to...
So, my first evaluation (both the one for MIs and for autism and ADHD) was made in an unprofessional way, so now I have to redo it. It's good that Inow is in a special "department" where they know about autism and ofc it's good to know what I have and don't have and how my "autism profile"...
Shelving empathy for the time being, let me talk about languages.
I want to learn all of them. ALL of them. I want to be able to read and write and listen to them, in that order. Speaking may or may not be a by-product of understanding.
Focusing primarily on vocabulary, since it is...
Hi my name is Coll and I have been in love and with someone who has Aspergers for 7 years. I have PTSD/Depression/Anxiety so you can imagine how difficult it can be for us to relate to one another. I am also an alcoholic in recovery...I think my partner is also an alcoholic not in recovery...I...
No, I'm not done dissecting this.
I was just reading a few more chapters of Aspergirls, and more or less realised there were two ways to handle the social parts ? that I hadn't seriously considered yet, anyway. I have already tried behaving NT-ish, doing what is expected of me and just being...
"People rarely say what they mean, but they do."
And I envy people who can read non-verbal, those who have body language literacy ? those who pay attention to it, I mean, not those who merely take a lucky guess based on their gut-feeling. I wish I could do what they do. And, I think, there...
While writing this, the publication of the DSM 5 is drawing near. And as a regular on this forum I?ve seen a lot of people being unclear about their condition. Some need a diagnosis and are being told by therapists that Asperger?s Syndrome will disappear and as such don?t need a diagnosis since...
The other night I watched a "comedy" called "Juno", about a pregnant teenager who seeks a couple to adopt her child. At least it was billed as a comedy. But I had a hard time finding things to laugh at in it. Instead, I watched, appalled.
I'm not around teenagers a whole lot so I don't...
How does one feel what another person feels? I feel like I do, but it doesn't make any sense. It's not my nervous system, it is someone else's, and I don't see how their nerves can send signals to my brain.
The answer is quite obviously that they can't; that's me sending signals to my brain...
Some regulars might have picked up on me being stressed out about an assessment I had going on with a psychologist from social services.
I had said appointment today and it was mildly amusing? and then some. Here?s some interesting highlights.
I got there sat down and he was all like ?so...
Earlier this week marked World Autism Awareness Day. The Netherlands took it a step further and marked it ?autismweek?. There were all kinds of events going on related to the spectrum all throughout the country. The company a social worker I keep in touch with works for had such an event running...
One of the advantages of not owning a TV is that I am spared the constant bombardment of advertising designed to make me discontented with the way I am living. Not entirely spared, of course, there's always radio and internet and print. But when one is not always bombarded one does have time...
One question that turned out to work in the desired way: "Where is that book about reading people that I saw here not two weeks ago?" Before long, I had sorted through the piles of books on my bedroom floor and put them in the bookcase.
I can eat new food if I ask myself what it will taste...
To mark Autism Awareness Day a private group paid to have the Mackinac Bridge lit up blue at night. Meanwhile the Lieutenant Governor announced several new autism programs to start taking effect.
It wasn't long before the first comment came in--and it was negative. "Who is going to pay...
Sometimes, I think that my problem with getting motivated is my focus on getting motivated. I will concentrate on generating motivation to do something, rather than actually doing that thing. I know it seems obviously counter-productive and I should stop doing that and start doing something that...
In the movie, "Saving Private Ryan" there is a scene where Tom Hanks and his squad finally come across the man they have been searching through enemy country for, Private James Ryan. They have been sent to bring Private Ryan home because he is the only surviving son in his family; the rest of...
