    "True self" aspie style

    Although I have had trouble identifying my "self" since I had depression in my early twenties, the true me is playful and ultimately enjoys being silly! But I have a profession and must on a day to day basis remain serious and supress my true self. The truth is, most people who get to enjoy my...

    Sleeping in.

    I tried to sleep through a day to get to the next one once, I generally need more sleep than most I feel, and I envy cats! I always look at my cat and think, "look at you all snuggled up sleeping all day while I have to go out to work".

    I don't like the way some view high functioning autism

    Hi Amelia, I understand the way you are feeling right now. Just because we cope and cover our difficulties so well it doesn't mean we don't have problems or struggles.

    Playing with my hair by twirling around my finger to make a loop, then playing with the loop to be precise. My boyfriend always knows when I am stressed or in deep thought. I didn't realise I did this as a stress response or how often I did it until I learned more about Aspergers and stimming!

    How do People Recognise Flirting?

    I don't know how I started but at some point I realised that I could flirt really really easily, and after all my teenage years of being selective mute and having no boyfriend this amazed me. I didn't realise I had it in me. Men have always approached me but I never realised that they liked me...

    Does you Partner Work Offshore or Work Away Regularly?

    Hi, My partner has taken on a job where he is contracted every 2nd month to work abroad. I have a mixed mind about this as at the beginning I was dreading him going away all of a sudden. This is the third time he has gone away and in the first week of him gone I usually feel great to have my own...
