    My son repeats to himself his own phrases

    No harm in it. I used to talk a lot to myself at that age. I still tend to repeat phrases that I like, and sometimes I get a certain tune in my head and end up humming or whistling it. I doubt he's talking to an imaginary friend, although it's possible. I had some imaginary friends and a...

    Is forgetting a lot an Aspie trait?

    My short term memory isn't very reliable. I can forget my coffee in the microwave but remember obscure stuff even from years ago. I often have to search for stuff which is why I try and have everything kept in a suitable logical place. My memory for names of places etc seldom lets me down, and...

    Greetings!

    Welcome Jenn! Well I was diagnosed age 45. I wish it could have been at least 30 years earlier - my life would have been so much less complicated! Things improved after diagnosis. Now my family, my BF and myself had all the missing pieces in place.

    Increased Pain Tolerance? I hurt SO much.

    I have quite a high tolerance most of the time. A few years ago I developed a cellulitis infection on my leg. I still went to work for several days but all I could feel was the cold - I could put all my layers of clothing on and my entire body was still ice cold. Eventually after three days...

    Fear of big paintings

    In The Chronicles of Narnia (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) the children get sucked into a giant painting. I am fine with most paintings and images but also find most clowns creepy. I don't want any clowns adorning my walls.

    Rage & Breaking Points

    I would like to know more background to this situation, having battled and still battling (but with better ammo) with anger issues myself despite maturity of years... what is your age by the way? I too had a stepfather but he wasn't generally abusive to me - in fact he was quite understanding...

    What should be the symbol for AS?

    Nice topic! I love the honey badger. They are native residents of my country! They are very attractive and brave. They would make an excellent mascot! The alternative, since not everyone knows what a honey badger is (ignorant NTs who don't look stuff up...);) would be the familiar square...

    The last 'thing' that made you emotional, destroying the DSM....?

    I'm incredibly emotional about many things: sad movies or sad scenes in them, certain news articles, stuff I research, and also when my Aspie-like paranoia shows through and I feel neglected, like earlier today. I can't seem to help it when I don't get a reply when calling someone, or posting...

    Where's everyone been for the past three weeks? Should I call the Dead Thread Brigade?

    What Not to Say to "I Love You"

    Calling all writers

    I wite (so far unpublished) children's sci-fi fantasy fiction of which I've written numerous chapters featuring the same characters wit others coming in as needed. I also write a regular (weekly) non-fiction blog about any topic which I find interesting. Have covered numerous subjects and they...
