    How do you present yourself, how do you handle colleagues and does your employer help you?

    Jibbers, Thank you for posting and sharing! Wow. I have many of the same questions as you. I honestly can't offer much advice for you since I'm grappling with many of the same problems right now but I thought I'd share my story since it is quite similar :) I also am on the path to becoming a...

    everyone is so irritating!!

    I'm wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience. Everyone just feels so aggressive and irritating. It's rare that I find someone that I can tolerate being around for more than 30 minutes without getting super annoyed and wanting to escape them asap. I know I need connection and...

    "it's who you are and you cant change but also change or else"

    You are in a double bind. I'm in so many double binds right now. In Buddhism this is called a koan and apparently it's possible to transcend it. I will let you know when I figure it out haha.

    Aspie Women & Masculine Brains

    I've read about this theory in my research as well along with how being non-binary is common among people on the spectrum. I've been thinking about this a lot in the past year actually since I've been in a state of gender questioning. I would say I have more of a masculine brain as well and tend...

    Comment by 'luna88' in 'Invisible'

    "It feels like the whole world is a world that is separate from yours like all the people and things occurring are separate from your world as if you are the reader of the book who is walking around this universe watching everything happen but unable to participate" YES. This explains how I've...

    What is friendship?

    "I am just not interested in the trivial nonsense that a lot of people seem to find important."- YES I can relate to your story. Sometimes I wonder, do I dislike people or just this annoying social game everyone is playing? The confusing illogical rules and perplexing things people say with...

    Can't take being yelled at

    YES!! I can so relate with this. I'm 29 and I've experienced this a lot in the past year. When someone yells at me I usually shut down in the moment and then melt down/cry as a delayed reaction, but it takes days to fully process the interaction and let it go, which initially feels like a full...
