    Extra Sensory Perception (who experienced it?)

    I've always been interested in this kind of thing! I've always considered myself sensitive in some sort of way. When I was in middle school, my neighbor had a cat that went missing for a couple weeks or so. One night I had a dream that was very short. It took place in my neighbors kitchen. All I...

    Who Hates Math?

    I despise math!!! I've always gone out of my way to avoid it. When I transferred to a community college I had to take a placement test and failed miserably in the math section. I can't remember simple multiplication. The multiplication table? Yeah. Learned that in third grade, and here I am at...

    Aspies and Sarcasm

    I'm sarcastic all the time. But I have an extremely difficult time picking up when others are sarcastic. Unless the tone used makes it painfully obvious to me and is combined with a silly facial expression or something. I'm ok at picking it up with my family but everyone else is hard for me to...

    Recommended Books about Asperger's/AS?

    I'm right in the middle of Aspergirls and I love it so far! It's short, easy to read, and yet very informative. I also read "22 Things a Woman with Asperger's Syndrome Wants Her Partner to Know", also by Rudy Simone. I thought it was really good. I read it to decide if I was going to get it...

    just for fun--you might be aspie IF--

    You've gotten into several arguments over needing more "me" time....arguments that never resolved because it consisted of you tripling over your words and apparently describing something absurd. Last time I tell the boy that the one thing I miss since being with him is more "me" time. How is...

    What are your sensory issues?

    It varies and I don't think I'm fully aware of all of them. Apparently I used to scream if I touched the sand at the beach when I was young. I'm over that one though. It's mostly related to clothes. I can't wear certain socks. I can't describe them, I just know them when I see them, but the...

    Self-diagnosed Aspies

    I guess I'm self-diagnosed? I knew as a child that something was "off" about me. My mom works with a lot of autistic children and I recognized myself in them a lot. I asked my mom if she thought I was in the spectrum when I was 10 or so. It was actually my current therapist who suggested AS...

    Do You Feel Invisible?

    I feel incredibly invisible, especially with my family. Sometimes I wonder if I just disappeared if they would even notice. Things I say to them are talked over or just ignored. When I brought up the fact that my therapist was seeing signs of Asperger's in me, my mom dismissed the idea but when...

    Foods You Hate or Hated as a Child?

    What I will and will not eat is entirely based on textures. I've always been this way, I've always had food jags and a very limited menu of "acceptable" meals and snacks. I've never come up with a complete list of foods I won't eat though, which can make things difficult. I also have an eating...

    dating sites

    I met my boyfriend on okcupid. I don't mind that site because it really does help you find people who are share interests. We have only been together for a month, but things are going really well and he's been amazingly supportive and helpful and even researches how to help me....on his own! No...

    Anyone have an obsession they wish they didn't?

    I seem to have developed an obsession with owls. Not real owls, but the adorable ones that are, thankfully, all over fashion...things lol I can't really describe it :-/ But I love owls. My friend somehow managed to intervene, thankfully, when I was about to buy a weeks worth if owl shirts (all...

    Languages!

    I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I'd say intermediate level Portuguese, basic Russian, basic ASL. I know a few things in Danish, German, and Arabic. I'm hoping to continue learning ASL as well as starting German soon. I've also toyed with the idea of teaching myself some Swedish again. I...

    What are your unique talents and gifts?

    Spelling and grammar; I was known as "the walking dictionary" until my junior year of high school because I knew how to spell any word my classmates threw at me. I have lost some vocab and mess up a little on grammar stuff now though. It started my junior year of high school when I...

    Hey there!

    Thank you all for the warm welcome! :-) I have started reading a lot about AS, especially the differences between girls and boys and there is no doubt in my mind that this is what has been going on. I have seen four psychiatrists who have bounced back and forth between ADHD, OCD, depression...
