    Being healthy with ASD

    Physically: Resistance bands, treadmill, eating as healthy as I possibly can and drinking water. I avoid processed meats and alcohol (I heard it increases breast cancer risk) Mentally: Enjoying my hobbies such as calming video games, reading (I avoid long novels because they stress me out)...

    Personal Trainer

    I’m going to start strength training and doing cardio to keep my mobility as I get into my late 30s and beyond. I also want to lose 20 pounds. Has anyone ever seen a personal trainer? What was your experience like? I also plan on exercising at home, once my treadmill is ordered. I am really...

    Mixed Feelings

    I have such mixed feelings, regarding dating. I just turned 32 and most guys I know (who have interest and stuff in common with me) are in their to mid 20s and want someone also within that age range. To start, I can understand that. I would prefer a guy in his early to mid 30s. I am currently...

    Should I Even Bother?

    Update: I am highly considering vocational rehabilitation. I was told that I am good at working at an elementary school despite having a sensory issues related meltdown years ago in front of the kids and everyone else. I think working in a non educational daycare or after school program would...

    Should I Even Bother?

    I’ve been job hunting for a very long time so I can have something to do, other than be in my apartment and go on coffee runs. I’d love to work in clothing retail (clothes and makeup are my special interest) and every clothing retail job I applied to either is an evening shift or I would have to...

    BRCA Genetic Counseling

    I’m sorry to hear that. I have read that alcohol, smoking and not exercising have a bad impact on anyone’s health. I have personally never drank alcohol, never smoked and while I am not as active as I want to be, I walk around my city a lot.

    Is being underemployed or struggling to get into a career that pays enough to support oneself, common for people on the autism spectrum?

    I have applied for jobs and been to three interviews at different places. I didn't get any of them because I would have to work evening hours. I can't drive and walk around my city and take public transportation to do errands. I still don't feel comfortable walking home alone at night. I still...

    BRCA Genetic Counseling

    When you say visible gender characteristics, do you also mean mannerisms and how one dresses? I mostly wear hoodies, jeans, shorts, t-shirts and the occasional sundress. I have a lot of feminine mannerisms and love girly things. If that's what you mean, I doubt people would assume that I don't...

    Armadillos

    Does anyone else find them so adorable? I would never touch one because they can carry leprosy. If I were an animal, I'd want to be one. I have an armadillo plushie, I love them that much!
