    It's a legitimate question, not an accusation.

    Upsetting Words

    I'm curious as to why the word lesbian makes you squirm...are you homophobic?

    Can you stand shoes?

    I never knew being anti-footwear was an Aspergers thing, makes sense though! Myself I've always hated the feeling of shoes and socks, but I don't mind heels or single strap sandals (never double straps). However, I was my feet several times a day.

    Addicted to weed?

    Hey Austin, You're not an addict, because it's physical logically impossible to be addicted to cannabis marihuana. Cannabis is an excellent medicine for combating the symptoms of Asperger's, I've been using it medically myself since I was 24, and I'm 28 now. It's the only medicine that works...

    Through The Eyes Of Normalcy

    "Cured" is a very short-sighted conclusion, and I absolutely understand how frustrating that would be. There's no "cure", because you're not sick, we're just different. The best thing you can do for yourself, is simply learn to admit what you can or cannot do, and set your life accordingly as...

    Asperger's and Misanthropy

    I have a theory that this is simply a result of changing times...in 2017, it's every man for himself (more or less). People are less kind, less genuine....making it easier to get frustrated, sad or mad with them, and develop anthropic tendencies, but I don't believe we were all born that way...I...

    Am I being annoying?

    Because people value "saving face" more than the truth in social situations...no one will ever be honest and say "I'm not interested," or "I don't have the time...sorry", which makes it confusing for people like you and me... I've gone through that situation many times before figuring out that...

    Do you recognize if you're being "rude"?

    I react the same way when I'm focused on something, then someone decided they want to start a conversation? No friend, the other person was being slightly rude, not you. Don't feel you have to apologize for your focus.

    Through The Eyes Of Normalcy

    ...because people can be very small minded, but that's okay. Don't ever beat yourself up just because someone doesn't like you. Having Asperger's, people either love us or hate us, I find myself there's very little in-between. Indulge in your hobbies, attend interest groups, mingle with...

    Almost non-existant IRL social life

    My university years were like that, minus the 3 or 4 friends and card game, I also don't drive and never will. College is a great place for someone with Asperger's to thrive, revel in it! The key is to go to "interest groups", chess club if it's your thing, or study groups are a great place to...

    Anyone else's anxiety worsen on antidepressants?

    ...therefore compounds found in nature are much more stable. I personally use CBD; no psychoactive effects, doesn't make me feel sick or have an adjustment period.

    Anyone else's anxiety worsen on antidepressants?

    That's what happens with pharmaceutical medications; even low doses can react poorly with your bodily composition...man-made medicines are compounds not found in nature, and are therefore prone to instability.

    Clothing?

    Personally, I only wear black, and only from certain stores, just because I know it'll all match and I don't have the patience to think about what goes with what...only ever something soft, but not pure cotton as I can hear the sound the fibres make when the clothing crumples and it hurts my...
