    What to except when being diagnosed with Autism

    I think the blabbering actually helps get diagnosed. Blabbering is what aspies do. I blabbered, cried during painful moments, went on rabbit trails when answering questions, and behaved in all my aspie ways. This is the time to be our truest selves. :)

    Help Me! Maid of Honor for Friend on the Spectrum

    The Asperger's in me says, "Run!" If it were me, I'd have to decide how important this friendship is and if it would be worth continuing. Do I want to bail? Could it be a clean break or would it involve/disturb other people I care about? I would follow the great suggestions of some of the...

Too many instructions makes me frustrated and panicky; after two steps, I pretty much get lost. Written instructions are great/best, while...

    If you could remove one fragment of Asd what would it be?

    . for me I missed a lot of grade school this effected my ability of putting paragraphs together. And not being able to put paragraphs together, effected my ability to but a thesis together in high school. I think if I work on what I missed growing up, then maybe speaking in public would be...

    If you could remove one fragment of Asd what would it be?

    I just got diagnosed five days ago! The diagnosis I'll keep. It explains so much! I'll also keep my writing skills and ceramic clay skills. I could give up my sensory overload times.

    Being taken Advantage of, as Aspie/Autie Women

    This is a well-known disadvantage for all HFA people of both genders. Being naive, taking things literally, interpreting others in the world as straightforward and truthful... these are all personality traits that can get us into trouble. It happens to all ages, genders, and sizes. We have to...
