    i'm being re tested for aspergers

    i'm being re tested for aspergers

    They're silly to think in the space of a year asperger's would disappear, and not everyone with it has sensory issues. What is 'fetal alcohol syndrome'?

    Do Aspies like other Aspies

    I've been to one of the NAS social groups and I've spent over a year with the intention of going again but never really getting round to it, but generally I tend to get stressed around people especially ones whom are talkative. I guess it doesnt really matter if they are NT or aspie.

The surprise for me was a diagnosis of inattentive type ADHD as a co-morbid, although the more I've learnt about it the...

    What does "...the view from both sides of the mirror" mean?

    Gosh, I remember writing awhile ago about being on the spectrum as being like on the reflective side of a 2 way mirror where it would be difficult to see past one's own relfection while an NT would be on the other side and be able to see through the glass due to having 'theory of mind'.
