    Do you prefer Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter fashion?

    Winter! I absolutely love sweaters.

    Co workers....

    I'd say just be sure to read up on your workplace standards. Where I work and live, coworker relationships are totally expected, and so it's acceptable. It's like a 'thing' that I've chosen to opt out of. Each season someone new.

    New and debating whether to be assessed for HFA

    If my son was doing really well, I'd not give it a second thought, but he's not. My oldest daughter is also having a difficult time. They may not want to get a professional diagnosis, but if I find that I am HFA, I'd want them to at least know, so that if at some point they wanted to confirm...

    New and debating whether to be assessed for HFA

    Thank you! I was thinking that if I received a positive diagnosis, then that would lend more weight to discussing HFA with my mom and my children - especially my son. I'm very worried about him, and I think being diagnosed might help him understand himself a little better. I've done a lot of...

    It's not an issue. As I said, I wouldn't lie.

    New and debating whether to be assessed for HFA

    Hi everyone. I just found this forum - mostly out of loneliness. I've been on WrongPlanet for years. On paper, I fit HFA, and when I take the tests online, I tend to be borderline. Having said that though, I think most of my normalcy has been earned. I've spent most of my adult life reading...

    Can't Connect to People

    Yes - I also have this problem. It's one of the main reasons I think I'm HFA - I don't connect to things or people. That is to say, I don't 'miss' them. I tend to be in the in the moment, which can be very enjoyable, but once I move on to a new situation, the past is not forgotten, but...
