What Were Your Past Obsessions?
Celine Dion. I remember the first time I heard her voice when I was seven years old. I know every english song she has ever performed (and some french as well). I finally got to see her live in Vegas in 2012 and it was one of the best moments of my life so far.- kj12

Pressure to be Social
I totally understand that feeling of being angry with yourself for not being able to go out and do certain things. There have been days that I have not been able to make myself leave to go out to dinner with my friends that i've worked with for years. There have also been days that i have driven...- kj12

Comment by 'kj12' in 'Apparently I'm in Limbo: Not Normal but Not Anything Else, Either'
Finding out that you don't have a formal diagnosis doesn't take away your true identity. A diagnosis does not give a person a truer sense of self more than anything else this world could offer. I used to believe it did. Until you were kind enough to respond to my blog. You gave me so much...- kj12

That's awful. I'm sorry this person wasn't more understanding. Some people just don't stop and think about how their actions and words make others feel.- kj12

Comment by 'kj12' in 'Physical Symptoms'
Do your friends and co-workers know that you are on the spectrum? Do they understand some of the symptoms? It can be very difficult to socialize in some situations. We don't think like others and don't react like others either. I know one of my biggest issues is that I need time to think...- kj12

Comment by 'kj12' in 'Physical Symptoms'
That gives me a lot to think about. I've been extremely fortunate so far. I've told my sister, her girlfriend, and my mother. They have all been extremely supportive. I know my family and friends will be accepting. It's co-workers that I worry about. I try not to be self-concious about things...- kj12

Comment by 'kj12' in 'Physical Symptoms'
Spinning Compass, First of all, I want to thank you for your response. I started writing some blog posts with the intention of starting a blog about ASD on another site. I have not told many friends and family members about this so I was going to blog anonymously. Then it dawned on me that it...- kj12

Physical Symptoms
There are so many traits I have possessed since I was young that I believed were just me being odd or eccentric. These physical symptoms, that I display on a daily basis, are also closely related to Asperger’s Syndrome. I have always been very clumsy. I run into things often. I am always... -

Mental and Emotional Symptoms
There are several characteristics in my personality that led me to believe I might be ‘on the spectrum’. After I started to suspect this I wanted a quick answer. I took online ‘autism quizzes’ even though I was aware that these tests could not replace a formal diagnosis. I tested within the... -

Discovery
I’m sitting on my couch on a Saturday morning trying to decide how to waste my day. I turn on Amazon Instant Video and decide to watch Parenthood. In the first season there is a character named Max who is diagnosed with Asperger’s Disorder. I see a few similarities in his personality and my own... -

Newly self-diagnosed 31 year-old female ...
I am also new to the forum. I haven't been professionally diagnosed either. I am hoping to see a therapist soon to get more information and hopefully some validation. I totally understand what you mean about having a hard time talking to someone about it. My sister is the only one that knows how...- kj12
