    Asperger's and Alzheimer's

    The problem is that my dad had a past of mental health issues in the early 80s... that's years before I was born. He didn't follow any further treatment once he was released from the prior treatment. Back then he asked for a check up himself. He's been fine since then, but for an episode when I...

    Thank you. My dad's father also had Alzheimer's he was diagnosed when he was 80 aswell when it was advanced and evident. They had no daughters, only 5 sons, my dad is the second one. My grandma had cataracts 15 years prior Alzheimer's diagnosis. The source says it could be a sign (a study was...

    Asperger's and Alzheimer's

    First of all, sorry if that's the wrong forum where to discuss that topic, or if it was already debated. The thing is, since I've self-diagnosed of being aspie, my dad had said that he also does this or that which are aspie's traits, and it's true he does. I tell him, well I've been telling you...

    I really dislike going strange places and having to communicate

    I relate too. I don't like to change places to go and so on, or have a bunch of people come over given a short announcement, or ask me to go to their place in a short announcement either. For example, since here the literary events changed venue I don't go there as often as I used to, I still...

    Imaginary friends?

    when I was a kid I tried so because I saw it on movies, then I started writing, so I guess those imaginary friends are just characters now.

    Spotting the Aspie in Family Photo's: Severe "aspie stare" as a kid?

    Oh, I never thought of that... I've been asked to smile more on pictures since I was a kid. I've always had a similar expression and posture in most pictures, people say I always look serious. Maybe that's one of the reason I hardly ever took pictures of myself since my teens. I tend to rather...

    Good QUOTES

    One of my favourite quotes is: "just because your eyes are open doesn't mean you can see". Is from Jet's song Bring it on back. It reminds me of one of the spanish mystic writers. At the intro of one of his works (which was mostly misunderstood by his society) he meant to say that things have at...

    How did you interact with dolls or action figures as a child?

    I never liked the girl's dolls, not interested in the skills it'll help me develop like the clothing and so. Althought I had a hairdresser's doll because my cousin had one and her mom thought I'd like the same toy? Later on my parents would buy me a 'b' doll to see what I'll do, and I never...

    What is your mental age?

    I stopped celebrating my birthday since I was 11 I think... may be I look like that age for that reason. :p Now, since I was 13 or so people thought I was 18 due to my maturity, but since I look a lot younger I still have to show my ID on a place even being +25 years old because the flight...

    my rules of flirting

    Same here. I guess, for us, that we want to initiate a conversation with someone, could be assumed as flirting but the NTs don't notice that, because surely they use to behave more talkative than us, so they don't notice we are being talkative as a sign of an extra interest from us to them. I...

    What is your sign?

    I'm a cusp. I was born on 23rd september. The sign changes that day. Virgo/Libra. So I have traits of both signs apparentely which makes a curious combination at times. I check the general traits from time to time, but that's it, I don't follow my horoscope.

    What do you like to collect?

    I collect stamps (official collector, they get sent from the official post service here since i'm a subscriptor since 1997), postcards (i'm a postcrosser since 2012), keyrings, pocket knives (my grandpa used to use them so I started to collect them since I was 8 or so, most of mines are...

    Figuratively speaking vs literal thinking

    Oh dear, figurative vs literal causes a lot of social problems for me too. My relatives use a lot of figurative speaking and I always take it literal -I think that's why they think I'm too serious or lack empathy-. My dad points me a lot of the time when I would take something literal. He says...

    acting or scriptwriting

    Firstly, sorry if that thread happens to be in the wrong section. Now, to the point. I'm taking a year off studies -it's stressing me and is not matching my expectations-, and I'm considering to improve other skills or try other areas of interests that would be more related to writing since I'm...
