    Psychotherapist from Aspie spectrum family

    Thanks so much for joining our forum. I hope that you will be able to help some of us who are seeking therapy. One thing I would like to know is how you learn how to help people when you are learning how to be a clinical therapist. Are you usually told about Aspergers or do most therapists go...

    Interesting comment from my therapist

    This describes my situation very well.

    Difference between Asperger's & HFA?

    My understanding is that AS is one of the types of HFA.

    Aspergers and Religion

    I guess the best thing for me to do is describe my experience. I was born into a Charismatic Christian family. Very religious, very church going (several times a week), very deep into it. Parents were missionaries. My situation was very much like Dan Barker, a former pastor who wrote "Losing...

    What are your feelings about Valentine's Day?

    I'd like to contact her again, mostly because I want to know what it was I did or said that caused her to want nothing more to do with me. Not sure how to do that though. She told me she never wanted to hear from me again, this is what hurts the most. It's strange, because I had always...

    Aspergers and Religion

    That describes very well what my conclusion was, but in my case I asked God to communicate with me and nothing happened. Let me put it this way: If there is anybody out there who can understand what I am saying, and is not a human, and wants me to believe in you, please let me know you exist...

    What are your feelings about Valentine's Day?

    Valentine's Day is always hard for me, because it reminds me of my first (and only) romantic relationship. It started Feb 3, 2012, when I was visiting a neighbor like I had been doing since I first introduced myself to her in the middle of the previous December. We were watching the news as we...

    Is there a difference between you and your Asperger's/ASD?

    I can't imagine not having AS, in fact until about two years ago when I first heard about it I thought that everybody had it. Now I know that is not true, and that explains a lot. The only thing I can say is that the world is a very confusing place that does not make sense to me, and it is...

    Therapist Do's and Don'ts

    You describe my experience very well, but I was never able to find a therapist who understood me, let alone was able to help me. I saw something like a dozen of them, starting in 1990 and ending in 2006, which is when I gave up on therapy completely after being very bitterly disappointed with...

    People with Aspergers are not alike

    I'm a bit different than most Aspies because I have a higher need for human interaction and I have a wide range of interests instead of a few narrow ones.

    Autism Risk Higher Near Pesticide-Related Fields

    This sounds very plausible. Do you have a link to this?

    Aspergers and Religion

    Just for the record, the whole "Satanist" thing with the "Satanic Bible" and so on was a hoax designed to make Christians look stupid by falling for it. Fall for it they did.

    Aspergers and Religion

    Did you grow up in a religious household? Yes, Evangelical Charismatic. (Assembly of God would describe it best.) My faith in God collapsed when I was unable to get any communication at all from him despite repeated efforts. What role does religion play in your life? none Do you regularly...
