    The Stigma of Self-Diagnosis

    I have an official diagnosis, but I think anyone who comes here, reads the posts, and can say "my life struggles make so much sense now" is very likely an Aspie and I accept them as such. It isn't uncommon for people to doubt your diagnosis whether it's official or not, since many people really...

    Forgiveness

    I am one of the people who wrote to my Mother after learning my diagnosis, and our relationship is better than it's ever been. I told her that I understand now that my issues were not her fault, but the result of my Asperger's. This may seem strange to you, but I finally saw that my behaviours...

    Life with asperger's syndrome is a hell. Please im begging you. I need your help.

    Hi Aleksander, please don't give up. You are right that those of us with Autism Spectrum Disorders tend to hold on to and obsess over things longer than most people, but we have to remind ourselves that it's the disorder in our thinking that's the real problem. As hard as it is, we have to...

    Friend's Wedding

    You will probably not go right from the ceremony to the reception. All the weddings I've been involved with had pictures taken during that time and often the pictures are taken outdoors which would give you a bit of a break. I've also found that having someone in the wedding party watch for...

    Greetings, earthlings

    I'm not from the east coast, but my city is in Northern Ontario right near the Great Lakes, so we get a lot of snow, and if it isn't snowing it's freezing! Of course it isn't winter all year. We also have mosquito season, black fly season and hunting season. lol As far as music goes, I have...

    Hi Bookworm! I am am a divorced woman in my 50s who was just diagnosed this summer. I know how hard it is to call friends when you need to talk, so I hope you will call on us for the support you need.

    Not sure if I'm in the right place

    You are very welcome here. Please stick around and let us know if we can help. It must be really hard to feel you had no-one to talk to about your father and brother, and I'm glad you found us.

    Greetings, earthlings

    Hi Winter! I am from Canada too, and sometimes it does feel like I'm from an ice planet somewhere. I was diagnosed this year, and I've learned that it's really common for women to be diagnosed much later and less often than men. We seem to be able to "blend in" a little better. Most of us...

    Good Evening

    Hello Zack, welcome to Aspiescentral. As you read through the various posts here, I believe you will find that you fit in beautifully. I've found our Aspie family to be very accepting of "non-traditional" members. I am one of those who found my diagnosis to be a wonderful thing. At 56 years...

    Hello, hello, hello!

    Hi Snowy Owl! I am a 56 year old Canadian woman, and can really sympathize with your difficulty with healthcare. When I was diagnosed a few months ago it felt as though the puzzle pieces of my life finally fit together. So much makes sense now that didn't before. This site has been a...

    Meltdowns?

    I used to cry and throw things and stomp around, but only when I was by myself. I find I don't do well when I'm around people too much, so now that I live alone I rarely have them and they result in tears rather than a full blown tantrum. The latest one I had was last night because I've been...

    Awaiting results for my 5 year old....my life seems to be on a hold

    Wow Hope, you've really had a shock, no wonder you don't know how to react. Take a deep breath, and let us help. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 56 years old, and it's a huge relief to finally understand why I am the way I am. Your son's diagnosis means he's entitled to help that he otherwise...
