    Psychological Help

    I am glad you have someone aside from the forums hearing and actively working to understand you, also think of it this way you helping your therapist now, may help other ND's later through the same person. Yeah I am going to go back and try again, all I have to lose is time, the most valuable...

    Psychological Help

    I personally feel too many people listen and don't hear, also it's hard because the ones who are listening aren't normally also ND so they can't relate to our experiences on the same philosophical level. At least that's how I feel about it.

    Psychological Help

    Thanks for replying, yeah when the pandemic was going on, I was forced to online sessions, and even if I find human interaction a pain, being in a quiet room, sitting comfortably is still the best for me, over the screen is so much more informal, and works against me feeling heard or seen.

    Psychological Help

    I am considering going back to get psychological help, my main issue is I live in a small town, and there aren't any that specialize in ASD and it's related issues. I find it disheartening and don't really feel seen or heard when I have gone to others before, aside from the one who diagnosed...

    How to look down without getting caught?

    I am not in school anymore, but what I do in crowded places with lots of people, is usually a grocery store for the best example, I go there to get food so I stay goal oriented, or I simply focus on the task at hand. So for those hallways I would suggest if you can just focus on the task of...

    ASD child and adoption?

    I was also adopted at age 5, but for me I was taken away by the state at 18months old, so to me the family that adopted me is my family. A nice thing was my godfather was also adopted, although he wasn't on the spectrum as far as I know. To me I have had my father be overly controlling, and...

    Well Hello there

    Hello and welcome, I find lots of support on here, I have had positive reinforcement, and help with venting, so I find it helpful.

    ASD impossible to meet new people.

    Yeah I have met a handful of people I honestly would say are trustworthy people, people who you could leave a sweat shirt at their place during a party and it would still be there the next time you stopped by(even 2 weeks later.) But I find usually people when they associate with anyone...

    ASD impossible to meet new people.

    I tend to shy away from groups now days, but the ones I used to hang out with were usually either card games, like Trading card games, or a few parties. What I usually experience is, someone always needs to be the center of attention, and everyone else seems to air those people up, and I don't...

    Experience with cannabis or magic mushrooms?

    Here's the problem; when they experienced that they were high on drugs.. :) That's a problem. That sort of makes everything not count. Sure that is an opinion on it, but I guess we could say the same for near death experiences, when they believe they met/heard God. It's not a meaningful...

    Experience with cannabis or magic mushrooms?

    I habitually use Weed, it helps with my anxiety, I have also used shrooms, and LSD, shrooms was more of a mellow trip for me as I was in southern California at the time, and night was rolling in, and I could see the "Northern Lights," in the LA night Sky. The last time I had LSD, idk if this...

    People Pleasing

    I brought up this point in a thread, when on an airplane they always say "secure your own facemask before assisting others." I take this to mean first take care of you, before you worry about others. I don't know you personally, or the crowd you're pleasing all the time, but I would find a way...

    Odds Are Stacked Against Me

    I am guilty of not talking about certain things with the therapists I have had as well, instead of focusing on the stuff you "can't,"(try to stay away from terms like this) talk about, try talking about things that are important to you, but hold relevance for a session. Like if you have...
