    The one thing you can just do which nobody understands...

    I have a very hard time in a traditional classroom setting at university because of visual processing. I do process math visually and will miss anything the teacher erases too quickly or fails to write down. My notes are written in a manner that is perfectly appealing to my brain and organized a...

    Autism/Aspergers as a living creature...

    My aspergers animal is definetly a Great White. Theyre such lone creatures, with a rough reputation and appearance that scares most people away. I see myself like that sometimes, projecting a tough attitude to keep people away on purpose. When scientists do try to study them to get a better...

    The one thing you can just do which nobody understands...

    My sister and I both have aspergers but in very different sorts of ways. She's incredibly artistic and can master anything she tries, shes a tattoo artist who can also do graphic design, painting, drawing, and she learned to crochet basically overnight. Ive always been jealous of that, but I...

    Being Female and on the Spectrum - Social Problems With Other Females

    Wow, I was hoping I'd find a discussion like this on here. Everything you just described has been a struggle for me since I was a little girl. I'm 24 now and still can't seem to make a real connections with other females. I've grown so distrustful over the years because of the back-stabbing, and...

    Support Animals

    I agree. I never owned a cat because my parents hated them, so when I moved out I went to the pound to look. I didnt know if I'd like them, but after only looking at 3, a sleepy black kitten woke up and just stared at me. It was an instant bond, and I swear more than a year later, he knows me...

    Support Animals

    I have a emotional support dog, but you need to research laws in your specific state. For me the process was really easy, I literally just asked my doctor and he wrote a 'perscription' for my dog to be an ESA. I live in Florida, and here a ESA will only get grant you a few things: your animal...

    Shutdowns at work?

    Before diagnosis I had several episodes like this. I worked in retail for 7 years, the last 4 of them in management. Especially around this time of the year it became so incredibly stressful and always felt like something more than "normal" work stress. Many of my jobs were accomodating to my...

    Hello..

    I'm Elle and I got officially diagnosed with Aspergers a few days before my 24th birthday, (about 2 weeks ago). I'm still kind of lost and confused and don't exactly have a lot of people in my life to talk to about this stuff I guess. Its been a insane ride to get to this point, I was...
