    Hospital Stories

    The worst time in the hospital was when I broke my ankle. I had to walk to the ambulance on it. And if that wasn’t enough, I waited six hours for an X-ray with no pain medications. Just Tylenol and ibuprofen. They finally did an X-ray and realized it was broken in four places. They still didn’t...

    Regressing?

    Thank you all for the responses. I feel better knowing I’m not alone in this. I know of regression of learned skills in toddlers with autism but not adults, so I was confused.

    Calalini and Catalina

    Ever heard of January Schofield? She’s a young girl with child onset Schizophrenia and the world her hallucinations live in, is Calalini. Just wondering if there’s a link here.

    Toys in high school

    Growing up in mainstream and not special ed, I’m going to tell you right now, there’s a very good chance you will be made fun of or people will laugh. It sucks, and it’s wrong, but a lot of NT and even other autistic kids can be assholes. It’s ultimately up to you though. If it calms you, I...

    Regressing?

    I saw a similar thread, but recently I’ve been feeling like I’m going backwards in a sense. I have been having a lot of issues communicating to the point where I’ve almost lost some words and phrases. I don’t always know how how to express myself, and when I can’t, I hit my head or bite myself...

    My autism is ruining my relationship with my fiancée!

    My fiancée and I have been having a lot of issues lately. Mostly to do with my social and communication issues, and my ability to put myself in her position (I cannot do so). She is growing more and more frustrated and setting more “rules” and “guidelines”. We live in different countries, she’s...

    My Daughter Possibly on the Spectrum

    I think there’s a possibility. I grew up with my grandma telling EVERYONE I was autistic (I was raised by my grandparents, who had custody of me, just didn’t fully adopt me). When I would act out “Oh, she has autism”. Didn’t say hi? “Oh, she’s autistic”. Etc, etc. You get the point. It may turn...

    Low functioning/High functioning - Is it legit

    No one has ever told me if I’m supposed to be considered high or low functioning. My IQ is below average in some things and average in others. I talked at the age of one, so I have atypical autism, not classic autism. But sometimes my communication is so disordered that I get upset that no one...

    I'm A Care Giver

    Some people do mis self diagnose. It really can only be determined by a professional. I have an autism diagnosis, but even before I did my parents would blame all my odd and rude behaviour on autism. I’m a bit different now but if I walk away from a conversation too quickly, Grandma will say...

    Chat on an iPhone?

    I can't seem to access the chat room from my iPhone. I've tried both safari and google chrome browsers and neither work. Any suggestions?

    MY PARTNER JUST TOLD SOMEONE IM AUTISTIC WITHOUT MY CONSENT

    It's definitely not like that for me. My autism hinders every part of my life. I wouldn't be me without it, but at the same time I wonder if that Would be a good thing. It effects how I perform in most settings, if not all.
