    My mother keeps comparing me to normies

    I wish I could help you there. It is never easy to talk to mothers. I still have problems talking to my Mom sometimes. It is also hard being a mother and talking to our daughter sometimes. Sometimes it is not that we get mad, but that we get hurt. And sometimes when people are hurt we get...

    Is it normal or unusual to be apathetic toward the rest of humanity?

    Many of your comments remind me of things my daughter says. She says things like that and truly believes every word she says. And it really bothers her that she doesn't "care" about other people. But the reality, for her at least, is she does care about others. She does not connect to them...

    My mother keeps comparing me to normies

    New member with possible Aspergers daughter

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. Interesting thoughts on me possibly having it. I cannot rule it out, I have so many things in common with her. Or rather she has so many things in common with me. If I do have it. I think it was easier for me because once I realized I did not fit in I...

    New member with possible Aspergers daughter

    Not sure what information is relevant and what is not. So please overlook my rambling. I have a 17 year old daughter, Sydney. She is going for testing in April for Asperger's. Her current counselor is very sure she has it(and possible some OCD), and the more I read about it the more I am too...
