The anonymity of this website will stay. The anonymity of this website will continue to be retained. The anonymity of the website will never go away. x5 This topic need no words. Words will never do the glorious (how dare I try to make a descriptor.) honey pot ants justice. Ahhhh!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! They look like little tree ornaments, no way better. This is so perverse. I think I understand college kids now. I think I understand my peer group now. omg so THICC as one may remark...

First of all, I wanna start this telling YOU that if you have been struggling all quarantine to complete one single task or you feel you're lazy and you haven't achieved anything in a month: That's okay, and you are not alone. We're all having a bad time, 'cause this is a PANDEMIC, not a vacation. So, go easy on yourself. I believe in you. This changed the way I see myself and my life I - as many of you - have been struggling really hard with executive functioning all my life. I've been...

This blog entry describes how mast cell disorders may contribute to ASD.

Hello all, as a child my family showed little interest in art, dance/theatre and music. I can't recall the radio or records (hey i'm old!) being a focus within my family unit, no dancing, pictures on the wall, trips that were culturally based or encouragement for myself or siblings in these areas. As a 'grown up' (still working on that') i always enjoyed exploring and wearing clothes from different decades the 1950's onward holding most of my interest. When i was in my late 30's a man i...

Learn about the BAP, how depression and anxiety in toddlers may contribute to autism, and how early intervention may harm autistic children if psychological causes of abnormal behavior are ignored.

First of all, thank you autismforums.com for existing and for allowing me the ability to delete my other blogs. Not that there was anything wrong with my other blogs, but I want to focus on one thing right now, which is decluttering my meager space. I have one bureau, one cabinet, most of a desk, & part of a closet for my belongings. I want to check in on this goal monthly to assess my progress or lack thereof. First step: I wrote a master list of 6 categories to declutter. Second step: I...

Have you stood in the check out lines at the supermarkets lately and noticed the number of headlines that are highlighting famous people that are claiming to be on the spectrum? Have you noticed in articles about people on the spectrum how the author uses examples of the high achieving celebrities? Dan Akroyd sound familiar? How about Steve Jobs? For the NT reading these articles, they are getting the impression that people with Asperger's specifically, must be geniuses. Hmm, but what...

I recently switched careers from insurance (8 years) to becoming a hair stylist. Growing up people always turned to me for this, and I knew this is something I should persue because of my naturally artistic and giving nature. is the one of the top things that i could always do for free and not in it for the money. The face to face social communication part is really challenging and I'm finding a lot of blogs online from the asd community about the horrors of getting a haircut and services...

Although I was born in 1980, I had a very rural childhood. The propane man would come every 3 months and if we ran out before then, we couldn't cook at all. If I climbed on top of the propane tank and pretended it was a horse, I would get the beating of my life from any adult present. Same went if I pounded it with my hands to hear the cool liquidy echo. We pumped all our own water into a giant tank. We had to continually pump during droughts, because if the well ran dry, we would be out of...

Yesterday, it's been approximately five and a half months since my last meltdown. Today, it's been zero days since my last meltdown. Several factors have piled up that eventually caused it - and I am a tad bit ashamed to admit that all of them stem from the current global situation. Since I started intensively researching autism, I have come to understand myself significantly better, to the point where I learned to identify, and in consequence, avoid situations or circumstances that could...
