    Mind In The Eyes Test

    I got 28/36. Looking back on all the pictures now, I have no idea what each one is. There are a few that I can get but most of them I have no idea. I think half that I got right was because I eliminated the 3 other choices.

    Coming out of the Asperger closet.

    I went with "I'm pretty sure I have aspergers" when approaching the subject with my best friend and my father. My friend's response was akin to "yeah, that makes sense" and was really supportive. My father didn't believe me and still thinks I'm normal; just a little introverted. I haven't been...

    What are the upsides, the advantages you have that come with your autism/autism spectrum?

    The way I think I'd say is an advantage. It's different and I have fun solving things in my weird way. Being NT would be nice, but I don't think I'd be willing to give up how I think. I also don't see too many gains from being able to join in idle chit-chat with my co-workers :P

    Do you think I'm an Aspie?

    For me, it was my girlfriend who approached me saying "I think you might have Autism". She was doing some unrelated research and found she could relate alot with other people dating Aspies. I did some research after that and found that many of the traits for Aspergers fit me. I know that finding...

    Is there enough awareness of Aspergers/Autism?

    Re: Is there enough awareness of AS/Autism? When my girlfriend told me she thought I might have aspergers, the first thing that popped into my mind was that ^. I had heard of Autism and Aspergers but I wasn't educated about what it actual was.

    just for fun--you might be aspie IF--

    Lol I remember going to a friends house and she had family over. I was introduced to everyone and smiled as I met them. Never have I smiled so much in my life. My face hurt after xD You might be an Aspie IF: You go to a party and end up focusing on a videogame/movie/etc while everyone else...

    Feeling like you're "trapped."

    I also don't get the whole saying "I'm sorry" to someone who has endured tragedy. It feels so forced and devoid of feeling. I feel so awkward about saying it so I usually don't and am probably looked at as being rude and uncaring even though I feel bad for the person and empathize.

    People Think I?m Rude

    I actually recently found out that all of my ex-girlfriends described me as two main things: Honest and rude. I guess these two things go hand in hand sometimes. I speak my mind and sometimes people don't like what I say and take it as me being rude or mean. I still have a hard time...

    I think I have asperger's, but my parents keep dismissing the idea...

    I actually had a similar experience. I told my father that I thought I had Aspergers and he dismissed it saying "I think your normal so don't worry". My girlfriend reminded me that my father came from a different time when things like Autism and Aspergers were looked at differently and not...
