    Aspie parents, what say ye?

    I say if you both want one have one, it may be hard it may be easy, it might be amazing it might be awful, you never know unless you go for it :D

    A Most Random Truth!

    Our old cat who was orange was an evil miserable cat, he attacked everything and everyone(and I mean full on claws, teeth and bloodshed) except me and my husband, he did not like being petted or talked to or even looked at. If it wasn't for home comforts I'm pretty sure he would have loved to be...

    What is everyone currently doing right now (apart from this forum).

    Soup lock yourself in the bathroom for 10 minutes when it all gets too much, have the light off and scream/cry into a towel, I find that helps me when I don't have time for some truly alone time, keeps me going until I do have time for me. I am on the forum, on facebook and adding craft stuff...

    New Style

    Going to be a pain in the bum here Brent, sorry. Just tried the "old style" and the navigation buttons don't show up unless I hover over them There isn't as obvious a break between each person's post The grey background on the text boxes is easier on the eyes but would it be possible...

    NHS Asperger's Diagnosis In The UK

    Yes but they do as they wish because they know most people don't realise their rights and that there are things such as the autism act / NICE guidelines. It's all to do with money, they don't want to diagnose a lifelong condition it's much easier to diagnose OCD or similar that can (in their...

    NHS Asperger's Diagnosis In The UK

    I was told by the mental health worker I saw (who said I had OCD) that there was no such thing as adult asperger's, it's a childhood disorder, I knew then that she was a complete idiot!

    NHS Asperger's Diagnosis In The UK

    I was diagnosed via the NHS at a specialist clinic (associated with the autism research centre) 2 years ago, my daughter was diagnosed privately via an autism charity (because the children's mental health service is an absolute disgrace, every person I have come across has had a negative...

    "Doctors are 'failing to spot Asperger's in girls'"

    Absolutely this! There is one little girl in my daughter's class who is pure evil, she makes all these snide comments about people, her and her friends go up to other girls and try and belittle them. Thank goodness my little girl is super confident and will stand up for herself because she's...

    How do you react to major disasters?

    Basically this ^ The only disaster that interested me was the tsunami in Japan but only because I wanted to know how bad the radiation was going to be and how far it would spread, basically any human pain does not phase me, I see an animal in pain and I become emotional.

    Do people consider you oblivious?

    I'm not social at all, when I try to speak I start mixing my words up, volume of my voice is all over, so most of the time I don't say a word when out in public, if someone speaks to me I try to keep it short yes/no is usually what comes out or a brief answer if I can't just say yes or no. I...

    Asperger's and Humour?

    It's hit and miss for me whether I get a joke someone face to face says, maybe that's more to do with missing certain cues because of concentrating on all the other things going on/processing what's being said, I can watch stand up and laugh along or comedy shows/sketches (I tend to appreciate...

    The Marriage Question

    I would marry him all over again in a heartbeat! He probably has AS too(people who diagnosed our daughter said he was very aspie like) but he doesn't see the point in getting diagnosed (he's already diagnosed bi-polar). We get on so well, we have almost the same interests, likes/dislikes...

    New Style

    I have mixed feelings about the new look, it's very clean and easy to navigate but the white and varying shades of grey put me off a bit, I don't think I could spend more then about 30 mins here without getting a bad headache, other then that nice job Brent :)

    Aspergers and your Relationship

    I've been married for nearly 10 years now, my husband accepts all my 'quirks' even before diagnosis he never had a problem with them it was just part of me. He has his own issues and quirks (we think he may have AS as well) but I accept and love him as a whole he wouldn't be him without all his...
