    No Friends or Family

    I have no friends except for my sister. I have some family, but they know I like to keep to myself. So we don't really talk much. I do get lonely at times and I would love to have at least one friend. I can't do much with my sister because she's a mother of two and has a life that doesn't...

    Are you a leader or a follower?

    Fear of ridicule! Exactly! At work, I prefer to be told what to do. I don't like taking initiative out of fear for messing everything up. Whenever I take public transportation to a place I've never been before, I'm lightly panicking the entire time, looking over the directions I took prior...

    What's the longest you've had

    My best and only friend at the moment is my sister. We are three years apart and we only became friends when Ifinished high school. Other than her, I have had a series of friends that I was close to. Usually one right after the other, each lasting at least 3 years. These past 3 years however, my...

    "Bad" people

    I know when I like people and I know when I don't. I don't always know why. When I don't though, they usually end up proving me right. My sister says I have a sixth sense for people's character. Also, with the people I get bad feelings about, I tend to open up a lot less to them, because I...

    Are you a leader or a follower?

    Do you take the initiative and do what you want, or out of fear of rejection and looking different, do you just follow the crowd so everyone thinks you're like them? Yesterday at work, we got free lunch. It was a nice treat. When I was finished eating, I had to throw away my disposable plate...

    Talking to myself

    Happy to know that I'm not alone.

    Talking to myself

    I'm not sure if anyone else does this, but I talk to myself a lot. If I'm around people, I talk to myself in my head, my mouth is closed, but my tongue is still moving. If no one is around me, but I'm in a public place, I just talk quietly under my breath. When I'm completely alone, home...

    Being my true Aspie-self

    I just need to be able to hold a job long enough, save money and be on my own. I just want to be on my own without the pressure of being like everyone else. I hate that it's so hard for people to accept anything other than the norm, but unfortunately that's the world we live in. Sorry to be...

    Being my true Aspie-self

    I would love to know how it feels being true to myself. Whenever I do something "abnormal", I'm told "You know what the problem is, so stop doing it". It's actually quite annoying having to remember the little things "normal" people do so I don't seem insensitive to them.

    Watching tv shows repeatedly

    Thank you all for replying. I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I try not to let it bother me that it bothers my sister, but I can't help it at times. Among the many things I'm obsessed with, she's been one of those "things" for as long as I can remember. And for no particular reason either. I'm...

    Watching tv shows repeatedly

    Does anyone else do this? I can't tell you how many times I've seen each episode of my favourite Tv Shows. I'll watch it live, then when it's available, I download it and watch it again to catch any small details I may have missed during the first watch. Then any other time I watch it, It's...

    No obsessions or interests

    I guess when I said I had no obsessions, I was really thinking of one specific thing. My interests have changed from time to time, and when I really like something I tend to "study" it like I will be tested on it in the future. I don't really think much of them though because I do consider them...

    No obsessions or interests

    I've read about people with Aspegers having one thing that they are obsessed with. Something that they can't get enough of. Either I haven't found my passion or I don't have one. Lack of a passion is what has kept me depressed and sad most of my life. I used to think that I loved graphic design...

    How do I get my sister to listen?

    Thanks everyone for your input. Getting other people to know really isn't a goal I guess. I mean sure it's quite helpful, but even if they did listen that doesn't help me work on the areas that need working on. Over the years I've adapted this mindset that I'm a hopeless case, but now that I...
