    Feeling or Acting Younger ??

    I'm 23, and I started teaching music lessons last year, and I'm continually shocked that people are willing to pay me teach their kids, when I still feel like a kid. Why am I in charge of children; I am one!

    What fictional characters do you suspect of being autistic?

    Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter! She's very non-conformist, she's described as having a calm, dreamy expression, and Harry said something about her having a tendency to calmly and bluntly state uncomfortable truths that other people wouldn't say. She doesn't have a lot of friends, but she's...

    People Answering Messages 9 or 10 Days Later?

    I think pretty much anyone on a website looking for friends probably aren't great at socializing in real life, and may have a lot of anxiety, so I wouldn't judge them by the same standards as everyday NTs. From my experience with messaging people on the internet, it's really awkward at first in...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hello! I'm Lithi and I'm new here. I'm a 23-year-old grad student studying classical music, and I'm self-diagnosed with Aspergers/ASD. Socializing is hard for me, so I spend a lot of time on my computer, which is why I decided to come here to try to talk to people. Some of my interests include...
