    today i got a referal to asd test and i am freaking out

    I also panicked when someone suggested I might be on the spectrum (this was recent as well). At first I was also weirded out and it felt like my whole life was flipped upside down, but now I'm actually glad I found out. Similar to what others are saying, it's nice to have an explanation for all...

    Hi I'm MildredHubble

    very relatable-- I also take things very literally and love having time to myself (despite also having a few really awesome close friends)

    Still A Kid At Heart?

    Lots of people tell me I act like a child even though I'm in college. I think they say this when I get excited over things they'd consider uninteresting, such as finding a cool rock or seeing a groundhog. Even though I feel like a kid in some ways, in terms of getting excited over small things...

    Complicated social conflict--- advice needed!

    Thanks- I'll for sure try this. Also, admittedly I was hoping if Joe joined in, I wouldn't need to talk as much... I know this is a bad thing since it's my problem and avoiding it usually isn't helpfu;.

    Birds...

    I also love birds- especially ospreys. I also enjoy bluebirds since there are a lot where I live. Crows are also one of my tops due to their intelligence.

    Complicated social conflict--- advice needed!

    That's a good idea- I do become dysregulated in stressful social situations, so it would be helpful to bring this up in the conversation first.

    Complicated social conflict--- advice needed!

    So I'm in the middle of a very confusing social conflict... Brief background: My friend (lets call him Bob) has been going through cycles of depression. I'm his best friend, and the only person he feels comfortable sharing this with. However, whenever he feels bad and reaches out to me, it...

    My Obsession(s)

    If you couldn't tell by my profile, I have this random interest in snails. It started when I was like 2 or something, so it's definitely been a constant obsession. At first I liked them because they are cute and squishy looking, but now I find them fascinating from a more biological/anatomical...

    My Obsession(s)

    ME TOO- I have a couple main obsessions but I also often find new ones that I get really excited about, annoy everyone with, and then eventually move onto something else.

    can't understand the world

    Hey saraaa, I can relate- I'm also new here and I've only just found out that I'm probably on the spectrum. Similarly, most other people would never be able to tell because I mask a lot as well. A lot about other people doesn't make sense to me, but my perspective is that while I'm living I...

    Being different than family

    Sorry to hear about your sister mocking you :/ I also have been teased for looking and acting much younger than I am. Is that related to being on the spectrum? (new to this all)

    Does anyone else compare people to animals?

    Yeah I see their point- It feels that way for me too even though I still can't help thinking about it

    Being different than family

    First of all, I'm very fortunate to have a caring, supportive, and stable family. Despite this, I've always been different from the rest of my family, and I often struggle to understand them. I also think they probably wondered why their kid was the only one in our entire extended family who...

    difficulties empathizing with my boyfriend

    This is very relatable- especially when the person shares the same problem with you multiple times --> you'd think they are looking for a solution by this point, but instead they really just want to feel justified in feeling bad.
