    "True self" aspie style

    This is me too. I have spent all of my life trying to fit myself into the NT box that I never let myself figure out who I am. Now I'm almost 30 and trying to. It's a slow process and it sort of feels like dating myself. I will definitely be urging my kids to take the time to be themselves...

    Eating Out

    I go to smaller restaurants because the sound in big chains overwhelms me and they usually have smaller menus. I hate wasting food, so that's what bothers me most when my food comes out wrong to the point where I can't tolerate eating it. Equally unnerving when I mess something up badly at home...

    Your favorite videogames of all-time?

    Many of the Legend of Zelda games are on my list. I really enjoyed A Link Between Worlds and Skyward Sword, but A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time will always be great to replay too. SNES has been by far my favorite console, but the WiiU has been coming out with some good games. Some of my...

    Hi I'm Tanya! I'm not sure but I think I have Aspergers

    Not understanding what is "secret"

    This seems like a pretty common sense question given an aspie's trouble reading people, but does everyone else have trouble understanding what information people expect to be kept secret? Throughout my life, I have lost many friendships because of this and have been labeled the family...

    Suddenly wanting either one or no children.

    I think it is worth talking to your boyfriend and telling him that you are unsure that you want two children as of now, more so to keep an open, honest relationship (which is way harder than I ever imagined it would be.) I suspect my daughter and I may be aspies, and like Cosmophylla, it's...

    I finally found something that describes my partner of 27 years...

    Hugs! I hope you are able to find some understanding and help to get your relationship to a better place. Your story sounds incredibly similar to my grandpa, who had early onset Alzheimer's, which was suspected in his late 40s and diagnosed in his early 50s after a car crash, then forced...

    Do you care that you've had no 'personal' or social life?

    I also saw my inability to keep friends long as a huge failure, especially since my family is not supportive and I don't have a strong connection with them.

    Convincing yourself that another person actually likes you

    I have struggled with this as well. To me it's been most recognizable to me with my husband's friends and family. Even when he tried to convince me that they liked me, it took me years and them making it clear that I was not a burden of their relationships. It was hard to understand that liking...

    Hello :)

    Thank you! I am hoping that finally finding a community of people that I can relate to will really help me along the way.

    Hello :)

    Hi. I'm 27 and I live in Washington. I like video games, writing, and learning. I have recently been reading a lot about Asperger's and suspect I could have it. I have related to so much of what I have read and it has put words to some of my experiences that I have never been able to explain. I...
