    Breaking Rules You're Unaware Of

    Hey guys, I appreciate the advice on time management and how to fix the problems I am aware of. However, I'm talking about being unaware of the problem in the first place. The question I'm trying to ask is: Does anyone else have this experience when, for some reason, you don't realize that you...

    Hey, I just want to clarify that I don't consistently arrive late to work anymore, although I appreciate the advice. :)

    What do you mean, "over love?" I hear what you mean about feeling lonely. I have these times when I can't even hold a conversation. It's too hard to mask sometimes, so I stay inside all day, all by myself. Other times, all I can do is send a message to my friends&family. I try to keep it light...

    I'm also confused about this stuff^^^ I wish I had a socializing coach. Does speech therapy cover social cues and how to deal with them? Anybody?

    That makes me think of my ex. He said, "if you don't get it, I'm not explaining it." We had no idea about the ASD, although I had an inkling. That jerk was worse than me at communicating! Lol

    Oh, no! Commuting was an issue for me in another job which wouldn't allow any tardiness. Usually, I drove through traffic just to search for parking spots, which usually meant I had to walk 15 minutes to work after the commute. And they want me to be there early every single day? No way.

    I have comorbid bipolar II and ASD, and I told them about bipolar earlier in spring, so they're already making accommodations. For example, I work in a restaurant, but they gave me morning shifts on a regular schedule, which has been super helpful.

    Hahaha! I know exactly what you mean! Luckily for me, my managers accept the way I do things. They know that I have bipolar and "get upset easily," so they let me be. They'd rather see me happy than micromanage. They don't all know that I have ASD, but I can say what I need without disclosing.

    I know what you mean about people not wanting to be bothered with explaining situations/feelings to me. I tend to assume all is cool unless they say something.. I think I would rather be ignorant than stressed, at least with strangers/acquaintances. I'm glad you brought it up, because maybe my...

    You hit the nail on its head with the support system stuff, actually. I'll ask my boyfriend for water, medicine, and even borrow money from him sometimes. For example, I had to take 3 weeks off work for mental health, and he paid all of the bills. I still haven't caught up :/ I think the...

    Thanks for the reply! It's not like I'll get fired for being 5-7 minutes late at my job. BUT, the management give me a hard time about it, even though I'm a stellar employee. My past job threatened to fire me for coming in 3-9 minutes late 3 times in a month. :/ For the support system, it's...

    So guys, I have this habit of pushing people to their limits without being aware of it. For example, my managers are frustrated when I arrive 5 minutes late for work, but I don't see why. We have a 10-minute grace period to clock in. That's the rule. Another: I tend to ask too much of my...

    Yes, the evaluation I got cost $75USD. I prepared all of the notes, perfectly organized (typical), and it was time & money well spent. It only took one session for my diagnosis.

    No, it's not cheap. My psychiatrist is very kind, so he writes off half of the fee for me, because I don't have insurance. Still, I pay $75 for 45 minutes. You can go the route of psychiatric clinics, which have a waiting list of 6 months around here.

    As an Aspie Girl

    Hey Everyone! I only suspected I might have ASD (autism spectrum disorder) at 24 years old. And that was only after watching a video about aspie girls in particular. Everyone who knew me as a child sensed something was "off" about me. To my misfortune, I was told that I was "weird, quirky...
