    Does the weather affect you?

    Humidity and heat. Cannot tolerate! And I live in Columbia, SC, a veritable heatsink. Thanks to the universe for central air! I run a dehumidifier in addition to that. I swim for exercise and stay in the house otherwise.

    Do binaural beats really work ?

    I've tried using them at work for concentration. They are extremely annoying to me. My best sleep cd is a long gentle summer rain with occasional soft rolling thunder. I put it on repeat. It often (although not always) works. I will wake up sometimes in a part where the rain stops and the...

    Older Aspies and Younger Aspies

    I was 54 when diagnosed with Asperger's. Before that it was several other things. Depression and anxiety have landed me in the psych ward on two occasions. Much of my adult life I was self (un)employed, which meant I was living well below the poverty line. And I am extremely high-functioning...

    POETRY

    I wrote this Haiku in 10th grade: My heart caught on the splinter of your love. Now I have learned how to cry.

    Traits?

    I think they (NT's) have some kind of collective view of reality based on mutual consensus that we just don't have.

    is this compatible with aspergers Dx?

    Really, what is the truth? Every apparent "core problem" in a diagnosis seems to be refutable. I suppose the criteria are simply guidelines. I can perceive something different about me (and so can everyone else, apparently), but I really can't ever put my finger on the "something". Telling me...

    Has your Autism changed as you have grown older?

    Yup. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Every single day.

    Has your Autism changed as you have grown older?

    I don't do well on anti-psychotic medications. They cause me to gain weight very rapidly, lose muscle, elevate my blood sugar, always be sleepy and dopey. I program computers for a living and need my mind to function properly. Diabetes runs in my family. Lamictal is the drug that steadies and...

    any one else ever think about just leaving?

    I started imagining my cabin back in grade school. I researched the hell out of everything, how to build snares, edible wild foods and medicine.... Alas it was not to be. However, I bought a house out of foreclosure two years ago for cash and it's very well-insulated and quiet, close to the...

    Just To Start Things Off (calling all girls)

    P.S.: Many aspie males are also married, many have children, many have friends. So do some more research lol

    Just To Start Things Off (calling all girls)

    Wow. How to even begin to respond to having your cake and eating it too. I always thought I identified with males better because I certainly didn't fit in with NT females. Then I grew up and realized that men are every bit as hateful as females. In addition, they often have dominant positions...
