    No Friends or Family

    I went to a meetup a month ago that I found on meetup.com. It turned out to be a local organization for all kinds of people with mental disabilities, but they had an adult asperger meetup scheduled. I got there and there was the female lead person and mostly guys my age and younger, and one...

    My latest obsessions

    Building the perfect mp3 playlist is taking up some of my time. I spend hours mulling over whether I should add a single song. Then I sit and listen hundreds of lame downtempo songs (my favorite genre) hoping to stumble across a unique one that I can add. I find like one song a year. It can be...

    I can't do it any more, I can't deal with other people

    try to get enough sleep at night. eat lots of broccolli or a variety of green vegetables that you can eat. do something that gets you into a flow state, where you feel coordinated and in tune with your body. it's possible to recover from abuse, don't give up. here is some advice that helped me...

    Do you completely accept your Autism/ Aspergers?

    epath, why doesn't visual expression seem like an aspie trait? I went to a local meeting last month and met some other autistic people,and 2 of the 8 people there were into art, not including me, and I am a drafting designer. It doesn't seem all that inconsistent to me. Though maybe you mean...

    Why do I matter to absolutely nobody?

    Just imagine all these people paying attention to you and fawning over you. It might feel good for a while, but it wouldn't change the fact that they are the same people who ignore others and are mostly self-absorbed. You would eventually realize that the attention they were giving you was fake...

    Speech Issues

    i pretty much always call people the wrong name. but that's because i just don't care what their names are, or my names for them seem better to me. it could be something else for you though, like stress or anything different in your environment. when i notice abrupt changes in myself i like to...

    Problems with my "operating system" vs NTs

    i don't get annoyed with people who are absent minded, if they are always absent minded. but in most cases, i think they show an ability to focus when they are kissing up to the right person. if you're absent minded, and willing to piss off those you really like, for example, then you're just...

    How to Stop Caring

    watch yourself from the position of a neutral observer. you may find some emotional distance helpful. your reactions and feelings might not be due to extreme reactions to the argument at hand, you might be upset about something else and using psychological transference to vent that emotion on...

    Feeling of belonging after diagnosis?

    it's good to learn how not to set people off. i think at some point if being 'yourself' gets everyone infuriated, that your social objectives might be like most people who are slightly uncomfortable with themselves, you need to fight it out and create turbulence, and you don't get the same...

    Feeling of belonging after diagnosis?

    yeah, it's politics, even if you understand where everyone is coming from and can analyze them to a tee and explain their motives to them, they will still kick you out. it's human behavior, and it is often bad, though not always. last time i got burned was in real life, a guy started hitting on...

    Do your masks have names?

    unless you feel dishonest about saying "i'm fine" it's safe to say. "same old same old" and other non-committal replies go over just as well. sometimes when i'm severely depressed and someone asks me how i am i can still say "fine", since being depressed happens to me fairly often and i have my...

    Do your masks have names?

    if the masks worked for me i'd be more into them. they always blow up in my face almost immediately though. i used to call it "channelling", like i would think of someone interesting and copy them. it almost works, but in a most cases someone literally starts yelling at me for no reason a few...

    Misophonia and Aspies?

    I have heard it and didn't mind, if it's not mean-spirited or directed at me or for the motive to demean a certain people group. Anyway, I have a lot of anger issues, I don't know how to express it right. Next time you have someone ignore you, and destroy work you care about for months while you...

    Misophonia and Aspies?

    Well, fine, he's a genius. He still sits around at that company earning $40 an hour doing nothing but talking to himself. He literally never did any work and would corrupt files and cause damage. I quit my job and suffered a nervous breakdown for 7 months in the same line of work. But it's not...

    Misophonia and Aspies?

    I don't know how common it is here. But it's an on-off thing with me, if I'm tired it's like sounds get amplified. I'm always the one getting mad and yelling at people for talking or watching tv late at night. Especially if there's high pitched voices, people yelling at eachother, just grating...
