    Do you find cities overwhelming?

    I was thinking about this yesterday actually. My parents and i went to San Francisco over the weekend three months ago, i was helping them buy some furniture and fruits; i couldn't stand the hundreds and hundreds of people just walking around downtown. I was extremely nervous and there was this...

    Intrusive Thoughts?

    Re: Does anyone else suffer with intrusive thoughts? Have you tried talking to a therapist about this? It's good you have realized they should never be acted out upon. What emotions do you feel before these thoughts occur? Do you find yourself angry or stressed out? Are you feeling depressed...

    How do you feel about having kids?

    I would be surprised if i even get a girlfriend! Much less a wife. There's been a few girls that have approached me over the years but they all become disinterested as they got to know my boring personality. I feel i would make a good dad though, as i have always had a strong moral code and a...

    Anyone have depression?

    I don't have depression strangely enough. I say it's strange because i should be depressed as my life is a mess at the moment. I have no future plans, I've failed my goals in life, i practically don't exist in society and i have nothing of value to contribute to anyone. But i'm not sad, i feel...

    what was your pre-ASD diagnosis?

    For the longest time i used to think i had antisocial personality disorder with a bit of social anxiety. Even though i had some characteristics of those two (i like to be alone, i'm nervous in public, shy) i didn't quite fit the description. I have never had ANY violent tendencies or wanted to...

    When you were a kid/teenager, did people think . . .

    Like most other people that have posted; my cousins, family members and teachers have said i had a bright future ahead of me. As a really small child i was the smartest out of the entire class and would often get the best grades. As time passed this started to reverse. By the time i was in...

    how do they spot us?

    I think some people can tell i'm acting when i try to be cheerful, joke around or excited; because i am lying to them, in truth i have a very dull and logical personality. I have been bullied all throughout middle school, a little bit in high-school and twice in college because i acted normally...

    Do you feel you have to explain yourself to others?

    I try to avoid explaining myself or even talking with others for that matter. I have gotten a lot of hate over the years from strangers, most people don't like me and my personality. I have a very boring, humorless, straightforward type of personality. And no matter how i try to change myself or...

    Anyone have an obsession they wish they didn't?

    I've always been obsessed with the internet and video-games. I'm on all the time, or playing VG constantly. I usually get on for hours everyday of random internet surfing, i've been on for a good 8 years practically every day; i guess its a comforting way of handling my life and kind of ignoring...

    Some of my behaviour (undiagnosed)

    I cant say i have many of the same symptoms you do. Most of my problems stem from personality and language traits. I have a really hard time keeping conversations going and talking fluidly. I think i have a speech disorder known as "cluttering". I tend to talk in bursts with gaps of silences...

    Aspergers Syndrome/Autism and job interviews

    I just had my first two interviews 4 days ago. To be honest it went horrible and great at the same time. I had two days to prepare for the interview but when i sat down to talk my mind literally froze. I spent the first ten seconds awkwardly staring in silence, then i kept on stumbling over...
