    Sympathy or Empathy?

    Thank you for the recommendation and thank you so much to Autistamatic for making those videos. I watched the three on empathy, they were very interesting and helpful and the third one kinda made me cry because it's so rare I feel understood like that. Hearing someone describe exactly what it...

    Sympathy or Empathy?

    Empathy sort of confuses me, I've seen it explained in different ways by different people, some of them I get and think yeah, I experience that sometimes, then others I just don't understand at all. I had a conversation with family about it a while ago, and they explained it as being able to...

    Hi!

    Does Aspergers make YOU lazy?

    I don't really know if this is actually an Asperger's thing or not, but I constantly get called lazy by my family for not helping out with chores and stuff. The thing is, sometimes things oerwhelm me and I just don't have the energy for it, sometimes there are certain chores I struggle to do...

    Hi!

    Hello people! I'm just starting to do more research on autism and finding communities with people who might be similar to me after just realising I may be on the spectrum a few months ago. I'm hoping I can start to understand myself better here and maybe talk to people about my worries and...
