    Workbooks and Mental Health Journaling

    Isadoorian, I have some ideas. Contact a large medical facility and speak with the administration in the area designated for emotional health treatment. They have knowledge of websites and printed materials that are useful for their patients. You are not asking for a prescription, so you...

    Unmasking is more of a learning curve than I thought it would be

    SDRSpark, what you are experiencing is identical to what I am still going through since acknowledging ASD almost 2 years ago. I realized that I was not allowed to express various emotions as a kid because nobody was there to help me understand them and help me put them into perspective. I...

    An Interesting Article

    This article exposes a lot about our perceptions and our judgements, and it is wonderful food for thought. We can feel good when we do a good deed, but many people do good deeds without recognition or reward. One must remember that honesty is a virtue, and virtue is its own reward. As...

    The hardest part of meditation...

    Mindfulness is very beneficial for those of us who constantly worry or try to figure out what is coming later. The major revelation that I managed to get through is that mindfulness is about putting all of your thoughts into the activity you are doing. Slow the breathing, make deliberate...

    Feeling Full After Eating

    The link that hippychick posted is very interesting. I don't think we pay enough attention to the conditions that cause us to behave irrationally. Food is a comfort for many ailments, but it isn't always a healthy remedy. We can't just react to impulses without being aware of what they are...

    Looking for a sense of purpose in life.

    From my own experience, the best way to get out of a rut is by refusing to travel in one. That means you have to stop the routine and break the cycles that put you into the rut. The rut is like a magnet - stay away from it. You have the right ideas - join a club, volunteer, etc., but you...

    How Do I Explain When I Go Nonverbal In Front Of People???

    All my life, people would ask me what was wrong with me if I went silent. I never knew why I went silent - it just happened. It was impossible to explain because I didn't know why it was happening. People interpret silence like that as someone being angry or belligerent. I never realized...

    special interests which were relevant at one time but not so much now

    Special interests can easily be interrupted by new special interests. Routines change as life passes. There are only so many hours in a day to indulge passions and interests, and that's after obligations and scheduled events are taken care of. I've always had an obsessive approach to hobbies...

    I am new and need insight.

    Hi Glenn - Welcome! I was recently diagnosed (officially), and that changes nothing for me. I do, though, now feel that pursuing a greater understanding of myself is important. As I am already in my 60s, most of my life has already been played out. I believe that you should understand...

    ASD and following instructions

    I'm a rule follower by nature. Being on the spectrum, I was never sure if I understood the instructions. Errors in communication make you fearful that you can't do things properly. Alternative, self-made methods are a form of survival. If the subject is interesting, you will do more than is...
