    Emotional Control/Brain Damage

    I do want relationships and love Women, yet at the same time I don't really want to participate in the ''NT World''. I would want to be in solitude with my girlfriend and dog. I think maybe we aren't wired for what they do?

    Emotional Control/Brain Damage

    I was wondering is it normal for Aspergers to get emotional unstable, depressed and withdrawn. I worry I might have ''deeper brain issues'' I got into an argument with a female friend via text, said I was ''obsessive'' or emotional issues. I am far from perfect, but have issues with the ''NT...

    Aspergers Reality Hidden

    I have been very worried on how I have been feeling, is Aspergers actually an illness, or neurologically and body systems we are sensitive? I ask because at times I don't feel ''equipped'' for the ''NT Reality''. I can get anxiety attacks randomly, feel fatigued, confused, and or not on the same...

    In The Zone

    I was wondering is it possible, that besides Aspergers I can have other mental health or brain damage? I ask because I scare myself at times. I am 39 now and growing up at times I would ''Space Out'' or get so focused and ''Super Lost'' in thought, forget where I was or what I was doing. I knew...

    Breaking Bad BCS

    I know it's a fictional TV Show, but I was wondering if the character of Mike was someplace on the spectrum? I ask because I can relate to his ''systematic'' ''detailed'' way of thinking, and overall demeanor, minus his line of work of course. I also wondered about Walter and Gus as well.

    Stress Management

    I have been wondering for a while, being on the spectrum are we sensitive to stress? I ask because at 39 it seems as if I can't ''take on a lot''. I take care of my dog, work not many days (40 hours is a lot now) trying to figure and work relationship I am in is stressful often. I feel even...

    Emotionally Volatile

    I sort of scared myself today when I was getting into the car at a supermarket. I was trying to get in and gave the guy in the truck next to me, the ''wait a minute'' finger twice. I don't know if we are ''smarter'' ''wired different'' because I was waiting for him to ''catch on'' and give me a...

    Brain Issues Not Talked About

    I was wondering this really hit me today, is it a Aspergers trait to feel ''out of it'' or ''someplace else''? I ask because at times if my father and I argue, he will say I am on another planet or not same place as the other guys, also years ago the doctor said oh he's lost on another planet. I...

    TV Characters

    I was wondering is it an Aspergers trait to imagine or an inner world? I watch older TV shows like Married With Children and the The Honeymooners. I have noticed mostly when I am stressed or push myself, I imagine that I am part of the stories, or wonder how these characters would act or react...

    Cortisol Inflammation

    I was wondering are we more prone to have immune issues? I have eczema and while now with medication it is not as bad, but when I get stressed or constant anxiety it is out of control. I have read that cortisol the stress hormone can cause internal inflammation. I don't know if after 39 years I...

    Getting Lost

    I was wondering is it part of being on the spectrum? I know what's going on around me, yet at times I get ''super lost'' in my thoughts, forget where I am and have to get my thoughts together. I always felt disconnected or not on the same page as the other guys. I can also be alone for months at...

    Pushing Myself

    I was wondering is this a normal event for being on the spectrum? I at times can't take in a lot of information coming at me at one time. I get very upset with my father because he goes very fast and can move. I can do things but at my speed and detailed. The example is I don't even get out of...

    Autistic Brain

    I was very concerned lately, is it possible we are more prone to emotional instability or anger? I ask because I had a huge meltdown with raising my voice, and going to my room scream crying into a pillow. I just don't know why I have issues with people, for example one Woman in work I feel she...

    Emotional Regulation ( Relationship Meltdown)

    I was very angry and upset that the other woman she asked, said she wasn't interested in Gringos. I worry if it's a Aspie trait to get angry or upset right away. I have a good sense of humor but with certain issues not at all. I worry what is wrong with me, because everyone else in work seems...
