    Do people talk to you like you are a baby/idiot?

    You all have been very helpful and informative, thank you

    Do people talk to you like you are a baby/idiot?

    I share it only to people who need to know (professors, bosses, etc) and I still get treated like a child.

    Aspie-to-aspie relationships, attraction

    I definitely prefer dating people on the spectrum over dating neurotypicals. When I date "normal" people it just consists of more arguing, miscommunication, and having my emotions invalidated. Most (not all) of them are far too ignorant and misinformed about autism to be with someone who has it...

    Do people talk to you like you are a baby/idiot?

    Honestly this is one of my biggest annoyances about being on the spectrum. When I inform people about my autism, they then feel like they have to speak to me as if they are speaking to a child. Like talking slower and more carefully as if to make sure I understand what they are saying. When...

    I have a legal question

    I have a child with a man from a previous relationship. We are not together and our custody agreement is I have our son (age 3) weekdays, and my ex will have him weekends. We are both 20. The only problem is that his fiance, who is twice our age, is a drug user and an alcoholic. She is...

    Public Speaking and Presentations

    I am so sorry you have to go through that. It sounds like they really should try to come up with some diferent options that would accommodate your needs better. I personally can't do presentations either and I absolutely will NOT do them, I flat out refuse to. Back in school, I would always just...

    Why are people so quick to make assumptions about us

    *sorry for any typos* So I've only been diagnosed with aspergers for a short time now so I havent had a lot of treatment yet and my social skills still need a lot of improvement. I'm terribly socially awkward, and don't know how to behave in social settings. My heart beats out of my chest, I...

    Positive thoughts, do not lead to positive actions, despite what is said.

    Never in my life have I read some thing I relate to so much, until now.

    How or When do you stim?

    All the time. Mostly biting my nails, rocking back and forth, making random noises, saying things in a silly tone of voice out loud, or getting up and pacing/walking around the house for no reason. Must add I love chewing on metal because it has that nice metallic taste to it...probably bad for...

    Can aspergers and BPD coexist?

    I'm 20, diagnosed with aspergers. This may sound like a crap story but I need to get it out and don't have anyone to tell. I have always shown signs of bpd, but I'm not too sure if it can coexist with autism. I have extreme issues with being overly attached to significant others, and I also have...
