    hurting myself when having a meltdown

    Interesting.... sounds like it be soothing plus it occupies the hands and it's an uncomfortable feeling without hurting.... I will definitely try that! Thanks!!!

    hurting myself when having a meltdown

    unfortunately, she isn't helpful at all:-( She get's scared and hides in a corner.... Nah, that's not gonna work. Also, I do exercise but in the evening. Disrupting my schedule will do the opposite and make everything worse.....

    hurting myself when having a meltdown

    Thank you for your answer. yes, I guess I am:) It's not one particular thing.... I think generally speaking it's when it just "becomes too much" for me and sometimes it really isn't that bad if I look at it after the fact. For example today the straw that broke the camel's back was when it...

    hurting myself when having a meltdown

    Hi everyone I have a question. I don't usually talk about it but lately I feel like it's getting worse. I've only known for about 2 years that have Asperger's. I have always had moments when I couldn't really control myself anymore and would break things, punch doors or walls or myself (never...

    can't tell if people like me

    Very helpful, thank you.

    can't tell if people like me

    Hey everybody I hope you are all well. I have a somewhat weird question (I think. maybe it's not weird). I have always had this problem that I just cannot tell if people like me. Like when I meet someone new (in both, new friendship or dating). I just cannot tell if they like me. I have no...

    36yr old and possible HFA

    Some things can of course get better through the learning of more adaptive behaviors.... Anyways, I have looked up PDD-NOS. That might be worth looking into. It is considered an ASD nowadays. Personally Think it should still be a separate diagnosis (the same goes for Asperger's in my opinion)...

    36yr old and possible HFA

    Hi, i totally understand the fear of being paranoid:-) Anyways, have you looked into other disorders? I mean I don't know as much about those as i do about ASD but maybe it's worth looking into PDD-NOS or social communication disorder, etc. (the first has been integrated into ASD in the DSM-5...

    36yr old and possible HFA

    Welcome, I'm pretty new here too:) I hope you will find some answers. However, have you done the AQ and/or Aspie quiz? Diagnostically speaking not many of the things you listed actually point towards HFA... But of course everybody on the spectrum is different...Maybe filling out some...

    Hello

    I hope eventually it will make things better, but these last couple of days I was more in the "I'm doomed" kind of mood and it feels like I get stressed even easier. yeah a partner doesn't always 9I actually think never) really replace a close girl girlfriend. But at least you manage to have a...

    Hello

    That's probably true... Looks like I need an Aspie guy too:-) Maybe he wouldn't label me "crazy" within 2 weeks of dating...:flushed: But yeah, some friends who understand would be plenty for now...

    Hello

    That is a very good point I haven't thought of.... yeah, for me it also put things into perspective... I think most importantly, that it's not all my fault. It's a mystery for me too... I wish I were that optimistic.:flushed: I always thought it will change, but now I'm in my thirties and it...

    depressed without special interests?

    I think I always have one... It would be weird not to have some obsession I can annoy other people with:-) (I actually try very hard not to) but it's so hard not to talk about what's so interesting. I usually don't get why other people are not passionate about what I am passionate about...

    Hello

    I meant that I wasn't suicidal or on the verge of dying... In that sense worse. I actually got out of it by myself about 1.5 years later. It's all 20 years ago though and at this point I could actually lose 10 pounds:-) (As in I've been trying but with very little and short-lived success) So...

    Hello

    I don't even know that to say! That sounds horrible and very very unprofessional! What an awful person... That's so much worse than my case.
