    How many different names does one disorder need???

    So, I recently did a Google search for Autism topics, and one of the questions that popped up in the search results was "What are the 3 most common forms of Autism?" That question got me thinking.... How many different diagnoses are there that are now classified as "Autism?" I did some research...

I'm super excited about my new position, but the schedule change means adjusting how I've been running my day-to-day life during the work week. Anywho… Has anyone else ever looked into social stories? As someone...

    Being sick SUCKS!

    It's been a little while.... I came down with what the doctor called a "minor bronchial infection" late last week and was out of commission for like 4 days. I had no energy, a nasty cough -which is still keeping me company sadly - a low-grade fever, a sore throat, a headache, and at one point...

    Reflecting on My Journey to Independence

    Has anyone else ever looked back at where they've been in life and kind of done a double take when you realize just how much you've accomplished in spite of having Autism? I've been doing that a lot recently, especially with regards to living independently. After spending some time thinking...

    Do females on the autism spectrum emulate other females?

    Me too! I find it's easier to match the tone of the interview, for lack of a better way to put it, if I mimic the interviewer in tone of voice and sometimes even body language. Nice to know I'm not the only one. :)

    Differences between Boys and Girls on the Spectrum

    So... Maybe I'm weird, but recently I've become curious about the differences that exist between men and women on the Autism spectrum. As a woman with Autism, I know there are differences that exist because I've observed how people react when I tell them that I have high-functioning Autism. Most...

    Do females on the autism spectrum emulate other females?

    I like that you put some research into this post... It's interesting to dig into how women on the spectrum behave and why. As an adult woman with high functioning Autism (or Asperger's Syndrome - whichever you prefer), I recognize that and can even identify when I emulate other women for...

    Hello from an Anxious Autistic

    Hello all! I wanted to share a little about myself as I am new here. I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's or high-functioning Autism while I was in high school. Since then, I've become highly fascinated with Autism and made it a goal to learn as much about the disorder as I can. I've even...
