    Painfully shy

    I can be painfully shy in front of certain people. It's impossible to explain why but some people just intimidate the hell out of me and I get very "reserved" in front of these types.

    What song is stuck in your head?

    "wouldn't it be loverly" - my fair lady. Embarrassing, I know. I've been humming it for days.

    Probably the most accurate article about Asperger's I've ever read...

    Despite it being over ten years old and very "frank" it really was the most honest and accurate article I have ever read about A.S. It clears up the I.Q stuff, why we are not "savants", our actual risk of developing a serious co-morbid psychiatric condition, genetics and how society and...

    I feel so guilty for not "being there" for my dad

    It's funny you bring up the word abandonment because that is what I did feel as well all those years ago.. also jealousy to a degree of the love he had for his "new family".

    I feel so guilty for not "being there" for my dad

    I thought I would do a follow up. I saw my dad a few days ago for the first time face to face since 2007. Just him, by himself. I won't type everything down but it was a very difficult thing for me to do and see, though his speech was regular and familiar (I was glad he could talk at all...

    How do you really feel about Feminism

    The insanity of women like Chanty Binx (or "big red" as they call her") and the "man hating" aspect taint the movement. This is what I mean when I say "these things need to go. But there are issues today that need to be resolved. Regardless of what people will say, rape is still a big problem...

    How do you really feel about Feminism

    Honestly there is a lot of negativity towards it these days, more negativity than I've ever seen before. I'm not going to lie, there are things within the feminist movement that are mishandled or should be eliminated but there is a reason why it exists and still needs to exist. I would like to...

    Wrong Planet

    I believe the man lost interest in running the site years ago and now sees it as a cash cow. He does NOT care about the content and user experience of his site. It really is a dreadful website, filled with so many miserable and divisive people. I am sorry to say that but their "pool" of forum...

    I feel so guilty for not "being there" for my dad

    Well this is how it is, I see him the end of this week. I spoke to him to day over the phone, he wants to Skype too but I feel I should speak to him in person. Honestly he sounds perfectly understandable, not sure why his wife was telling me "he could barely speak" - maybe just trying to get me...

    I feel so guilty for not "being there" for my dad

    I'm going to force myself to go and I know his wife and my half siblings (that I have literally no relationship with) are going to give me hell. I used to have a lot of anxiety around the possibility of developing Parkinson's at young age like him, it was a fear that consumed me from age 14...

    I feel so guilty for not "being there" for my dad

    I meant I don't know what to do as I feel the damage is already done.

    I feel so guilty for not "being there" for my dad

    I feel like I have to vent this here as it has at least something to do with A.S negatively affecting someone else with my own selfishness and I feel it's my fault. My biological father has been sick for more than 18 years with Parkinson's disease. He developed it "young onset" in his late 20's...

    Vitamin D and Autism

    Skin starting to clear up? What skin condition was it. I only ask because in January I had an outbreak of psoriasis on my left leg, and I don't mean just "common mild psoriasis" I mean like SEVERE red patches and lesions. I had never had before so I was extremely worried because I know it's a...

    ASPIES WHO HAD A HARD TIME ACCEPTING THEIR DIAGNOSIS

    Yes, I had a very hard time accepting it. I can not even begin to tell you how much I tried to "reject it" especially in my late teens I worked so hard to pass.

    For society: Autism is mostly an accident

    I believe Autism (including AS and all the sub types) is nothing more than coincidence or "accident" in brain development in the womb. And I don't mean an "accident" as in "brain trauma" or toxins. I mean as luck would have it parts of the brain just form "a little differently" which produce a...
