    Do You Ever Wonder...

    This is a very interesting question, and certainly interesting to consider. To me though, wondering what my life might have been had I been born NT, is no different from wondering what my life would have been like if I had been male instead of female, or if I had been born in China or Peru...

    Frustrated at my communiction skills

    Thanks for the advice and insights, both of you. Thinking out the box is something I've always been good at, (though really I tend to think that thinking outside the box in certain ways is basically a given for us.) I do see too now how I can use out of the box thinking in a way, to get...

    Frustrated at my communiction skills

    I've grown more and more annoyed over these matters for years, to the point that I am now starting to actually get angry at myself for not knowing these things. Of the many interests and passions I've had in my life, the one biggest one will also be non-mainstream media, broadcasting, and...

    Aspies and Athleticism

    Back in my school days I was terrible at team sports. I didn't dislike playing them at all. In fact I quite enjoyed many of them. I juyst happened to stink at them, lol. I haven't done any as an adult, but I no longer have much interest in it. Besides I have never had the co-ordination for...

    Do You Feel Invisible?

    I've been both misunderstood and just plain not heard or acknowledged many times too. I go out f way way to be overly polite to others (though excessive politeness has no meaning to me, but's a whole different story, lol,) and at times all I seem to get back is flat out rudeness in return. I...

    The Figure of Speech That You Dislike The Most

    "do you understand?" I suppose that could be considered a figure of speech. In any case it annoys me to the point where I refuse to actually answer that question most of the time. People, as I came to figure out early in life are generally not actually meaning to ask you we understand or not...

    Do you have trouble asking for help?

    For me it really seems to depend both on the day and the situation. If I need help with anything emotion or life related i just have trouble figuring out the right way to ask and who to ask, so I might not bother. I'm decent at networking though so I can and do easily find a needed service or...

    Are you bothered by lack of truth?

    I've been thinking a lot lately about honesty in society and really considering just how often so many people tend to hide or withhold certain truths form others. People try so hard to protect me from those all so human 'hurt feelings,' that their first instinct seems at times to be to simply...

    Should I tell my boss?

    I've never mentioned actually having AS to anyone at work. At the time I was hired, I got the job fine and managed to make a good impression. I haven't yet really gotten my diagnosis then anyway. I just strongly suspected it. I finally did get said diagnosis but still it never seemed I had...

    Do you have any disorders that are linked with Asperger's Syndrome?

    Re: Do you have any disorders that are linked with asperger's? I've got anxiety. I've had it for years. Drives me up the wall some days because due to it I second guess literally almost every single small choice I make. Strangely though it's not social anxiety, as seems to be common for us...

    When did you realize that you're different for the 1st time?

    I can place the exact moment or anything, but I do know I was quite young when i realized it in some way. By about age seven I was questioning why I didn't have friends when it seemed everyone else did. At that age I did want one of course, but I simply didn't know where to start. I did the...

    Driving

    I've been driving for almost ten years, (wow, it's really been that long, lol,) and I'm a pretty good driver as far as I know. When learning to drive years ago though I honestly wasn't sure I would be. I learned at the same time as my brother, and for some reason he caught on faster, got...

    Do you have a difficulty with saying no?

    Much of the time, yes. I can say no just fine to someone I don't know or like much in most cases. But family and to a bit of a lesser extent, friends, not really. In the case of family, I've learned early that they have a talent for invoking guilt and that i have no way to shut of my...

    Sharing an apartment/house with other people. Thoughts, Experiences and Advice?

    I share, and have for years. So I thought I might contribute to this one too. My housemate a friend of mine, but of course doesn't always relate to me. Though we've know each other for a long time, it was obviously that trying to live with me was a bit, well, different of a situation...

    How Did You React To Being Diagnosed?

    I just mentioned a tiny bit of this in my intro post, but I'll go into it a bit more here. I got my diagnosis recently and already into my adult years. (yep, another one of those late diagnosis cases.) My situation is a bit odd in that I'm quite certain the first school I went to way back in...
