    Is it weird that I'm great at sports?

    First: Are you aware that you can edit your previous posts to add text? Second: I am also good at sports, as my gross motor skills are pretty good. However any detail work requires a great deal of concentration, as my fine motor skills are lacking. Sometimes, if I am not concentrating...

    Got a university mentor, not sure what to use them for?

    Hey, I just started University again in September after several false starts. This time, they've given me a 'mentor' for the first semester, though I only met them this Monday. The people who arranged it said that most 'aspies' were really happy with having a mentor, but I'm just not sure what...

    Sharing long-held secrets when it is no longer viable to keep them.

    That wasn't a comment on femininity, rather a comment on what 'social rules' I've been taught to follow.

    Sharing long-held secrets when it is no longer viable to keep them.

    Right, so, I'm transgender, and I've known this about myself since I was 13. I'm 28 now and living at home again, and I've never told anyone about this, save the one significant other I've managed to have (now an ex-SO). The laws in my country have recently changed in such a way that it...

    Martial Arts for Aspie safety

    I tried to join a dojo when I was in high school, but I had my sister with me for support, and when she quit after about eight lessons, I couldn't keep going. I really loved it, but without the support of a familiar person I couldn't deal with the social aspect at all. I really want to try...

    Strict 'Good night' Routine.

    Every single night, when I go to get the ferrets late night meal before I go to bed, I have a very strict interactive routine. If there is someone still awake downstairs, I will fix up the ferret food on the tray, pick up the tray, and walk to the center of the arch that leads into the...

    Women don't like nice quiet males they prefer confident males (nice guys finish last)

    Re: Women don't like nice quiet males they prefer confident males (nice guys finish l Do you even hear yourself anymore? Women do not OWE you anything, nor are the OBLIGED to make up for YOUR shortcomings. Women are people, just like men are. There are PLENTY of women with confidence issues...

    Women don't like nice quiet males they prefer confident males (nice guys finish last)

    Re: Women don't like nice quiet males they prefer confident males (nice guys finish l I am going to keep this reply in as positive a tone as I can. So, wait, what you are saying here is that because it is on the internet (the same internet that boasts thousands of websites devoted to the...

    Re: Women don't like nice quiet males they prefer confident males (nice guys finish l Congrats OP, you've managed to hit my rage button. I am not quite calm enough to reply to this yet, so instead I leave you with a calm and rational guy explaining why what you just wrote pisses me off.

    How NTs see Aspies

    I need some clarification here. You do understand that two neurotypicals from different countries still function mentally in a very similar way, regardless of custom? They may apply the same thought-pattern to different things, and from different perspectives, but the basic mental framework is...

    Difficulty Recognizing People

    I have this thing where I have a vague sense of recognition towards EVERYBODY. If a complete stranger walked up to me and told me that we had met before, I would likely believe them, all the while completely unable to place them and too embarrassed to say that. I can remember faces if I happen...

    Do You Feel Like An Alien?

    My psychologist and I came up with the basic image of me as a 'Jane Goodall among apes', clip-board out and taking notes on this other, but sort of familiar, species that I happen to live among. Sometimes I catch myself thinking "Now, what would a [I]real[I] human do in this situation?" which...

    "Aspergers is not an excuse."

    My dad does this. My dx is relatively new, but my behaviors aren't. Last Friday, he deliberately made my morning routine impossible, then later on he asked me why I was so 'grumpy'. I tried to tell him I need my routine, especially in the mornings when I'm not awake enough to regulate my...

    Newly Diagnosed, Aspergers.

    Hello, I received my diagnosis Tuesday this past week. Well, actually I was diagnosed between the 26 march and the 10 April, but I didn't find out the result of it all until Tuesday. I was in to get checked for social phobia, so the Aspergers diagnosis was a bit unexpected. I'm still freaking...
