    Any aspies with experience in social-focused careers?

    My therapist said something very similar yesterday. Thanks for the advice. My diagnosis is pretty close and I'm very likely an aspie, according to my doctor. I'll use it on my favor to change my lifestyle. The only obstacle I have right now is money. I'm at a good position, I'm married and I...

    Any aspies with experience in social-focused careers?

    I wanted to know how you deal with this and how much it consumes you. From what I've read in the forum, there are some teachers here for instance and dealing with children and work authority may be a burden (acutally, I find it very easy to communicate with children, but I know it can be hard...

I made a test (at that site RDOS) that scored pretty high and everything felt...

    How Aspies find comfort

    Biking helps me a lot. Chilling in the hammock during a light rain also recharges me amazingly. Being with my wife or with my nephew (who is also an aspie) makes me very calm too. Playing with children, in general, relaxes me too. I also love videogames, but they make me anxious. So I'm...

    Hello! [Self-diagnosed because of my nephew...]

    Hello, there. Sorry if I make some mistakes, english is not my natural language. I'm 29 and it's been about two years since I started suspecting about having Asperger's, but now I decided to take it ahead and find a specialist. Y'know, it's weird when you try to help someone and end up finding...
