    Handwriting issues

    if I sit down and write something at a slower pace it looks good. If I have to write standing or with the paper at any other angle , it throws me off and I lose the control to write well... The slower I can write the better - If I'm just jotting down notes - sometimes I can't read it 5 min...

    Any suggestions for "on-line dating" sites? Any that are Spectrum friendly?

    Funny but true - I'm 59, so "gamer girls" in my age are playing cards or checkers.. LOL

    Any suggestions for "on-line dating" sites? Any that are Spectrum friendly?

    One reason I posted this question was from my experience with "piece of fish" ( or is that plenty of fish?) - I find the person that responded was from another country and not my state - Very sad but there are sharks in that ocean and looking for easy prey...

    Any suggestions for "on-line dating" sites? Any that are Spectrum friendly?

    I'm recently diagnosed in February 2018 - What I'm starting to realize, is how much the "masked self-image" is much different than the actual person I am. I'm still trying to comprehend who I really am because between the self deception of masking and all the phases of development that are still...

    I guess I was ( am? ) good at masking - I also have felt something was missing or different about me.. I was only diagnosed February of 2018 so have a Long way to go to understand the real me. I am still unclear but think this is what was affecting past relationships- I hoping that knowing I'm...

    Is being evaluated for Asperger's as an adult worth it?

    I'm 59 and was just diagnosed February of this year. The diagnosis verified what I knew in my gut. When I put the pieces together it was an amazing revelation to me. All my life I was looking for something I could never define. This was it.. and finding it helped me feel whole - I felt a peace I...

    Comment by 'Forgotten Aspie' in 'Executive Function and Choice Paralysis'

    Uhg! - February 2018 was my diagnosis - since then it has been a lot of research, rediscovery of traits, and trying to connects a LOT of dots that before, and even still, seem to have totally unconnected. Executive Functioning is one of those areas I am realizing I also have problems - I'm not...

    Thank you for sharing this dream come true! - Is your mate also on the spectrum? How did you two meet? I ask because I'm making a bold move trying an on-line dating service "Piece of Fish" ( I know it is plenty of fish - but that's how I feel some times - LOL) In my profile the first thing...

    What’d you score on the Autistic Quotient test?

    You know... I "thought" I knew what "Whole vs Details" meant - My analogy would in cleaning a room, do you see the whole process or each step of cleaning.. I don't know how to separate those. I'd say "both"... Reading between the lines - What I think of is.. when you read a book - you see...

    What’d you score on the Autistic Quotient test?

    Yes - how many people have gone for diagnosis and "failed" to get diagnosed because of questions like these? FINALLY in the DSM-V they are saying that adults may have learned to mask their traits - This is a step in the right direction but what you said above is, I think, more often the case...

    What’d you score on the Autistic Quotient test?

    Score of 39/50 - Is it just me or does everyone have a hard time applying those questions to specific memories... For example - a question about do people say you go on and on about a topic .... Well... nobody has specifically said "Tom you go on and on about your topics..." so I have to...

    Would you take a magic pill to permanently transform into an NT?

    There is no "perfect life" - My autism is mild - I've adapted or learned to cope with the problems it causes - I'm always curious so if I could walk a day in the NT shoes kind of thing, I'd would, but I'd also like to walk a day in the shoes of someone with more severe symptoms of autism. I...
