    Diagnosis Journal — thoughts?

    I did something similar. I took both the diagnostic criteria for Aspergers Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder (from DSM V) and wrote out examples from both my present life and my childhood pertaining to each critera. The first batch of mental health professionals that I went to see about a...

    Would you date someone with kids?

    My views on this are as follows: -A. If I want a child, I have perfectly functioning ovaries and an awesome set of genes to pass on. I won't be someone else's mommy. -B. Anyone at my age with a kid has way more on their plate than I can handle, I can forego the baby momma drama and all the child...

    asd later in life

    The thing is, ASD is not something you just develop after forming a drug habit etc. One of the criteria is that symptoms have been shown since childhood. If you look back on your childhood you'll probably realize that you did show some symptoms. From what I've seen it becomes more obvious when...

    Do you have a teddy you could never let go of?

    What's really weird is I couldn't sleep with a stuffed animal as a kid. Tried millions of times, couldn't do it. I wasn't able to sleep with a stuffed animal wrapped in my arms until recently.

    Do you have a teddy you could never let go of?

    One of the things I miss most from home are my stuffed animals. I have a stuffed rabbit from Build a Bear workshop that I made in highschool and I have a shark pillow pwt. Both mean a lot to me. I wish I had them with me this past year and a half.

    The dreadful, annoying, "how are you?"

    I HATE this greeting. Not only because it's a greeting I use hundreds of times a day But because it's so stale and lame and many times a lie. I used to answer it honestly until I figured out it was an NT way to pretend they care when they really dont. One time I ventured away from the scripr...

    Moving on from a special interest???

    I think the first step you need to take is to talk to your parents about what happened and what you're feeling. They might not even realize what they're doing to you, and what you've been through is so incredibly traumatic. I'd also reccomend talking to a mental health professional, it sounds...

    Does anyone have a mix of Aspergers and something else?

    I've suffered from depression most of my life, but the Aspergers magnifies it. I'm starting to think I may have mild post traumatic stress disorder from the events that took place in my previous relationship but I haven't spoken to a professional about it.

    Could use some unofficial advice with kindergartner... In need of serious help

    I'm so sorry it got to that point. I'm reading through all the back log and it sounds like you are doing everything you can. Support starts at home. You're doing a good job. I see a LOT of faults in the school here. It seems like they have no idea how to help him and are showing total disregard...

    How I do eye-contact

    I'm finding I've really started to regress in this area; I have a very hard time making eye contact these days. Even unintentional eye contact or brief eye contact makes me uncomfortable. I used to make eye contact okay, just enough to get through job interviews and the like. My mom says I NEVER...

    Just thought I'd ask and see if there were possibilities. Thank you for explaining that out to me. Still wish there was some sort of solution that could make everyone happy but I understand why my suggestion won't be one of them.

    There's not even a way to make it so an individual can prevent just themselves from seeing a certain discussion or forum without an add on? I'm all for freedom of speech, but I'm also for being able to control what I do and do not want to see (even if others are thoroughly discussing it).
