    Therapist thinks I have Asperger's. 43 year old female

    Hello and welcome! I started my research by watching a bunch of YouTube videos by psychologists as well as autistic people (there’s some great talks about autism in women by Tony Attwood, Judith Gould and Sarah Hendrickx on YouTube) and then reading a bunch of books (some I recommend are The...

    Aspergers With a Dash Of Anxiety

    Yeah... I discovered my autism because of my anxiety. And then I discovered I’ve always had anxiety, all day every day, for as long as I can remember, I just didn’t really know what anxiety was because I thought of it only in physical terms. It still confuses me, even when it’s debilitating...

    My place is a mess! I want to get organised.

    What stopped you from continuing with it? I’ve always kind of been a minimalist (perhaps a response to many of the adults in my life while I was growing up who I’d consider to be hoarders), but I’ve been practicing minimalism in a big way for about a year or so now. I haven’t yet gone through...

    30-something Aspie writer from Australia saying ‘Hi!’

    I think it’s important for writers to challenge societal norms, so I say write your main character the way you think she should be written. Maybe she turns out to be a Aspie, too. Or maybe she doesn’t. Either way, it doesn’t necessarily have to be explicit. I’ve struggled with writing emotions...

    Your Favorite Quality, in a Person

    This is a really good question. I really value curiosity or the ability to think deeply about things (I was going to say intelligence but that’s not necessarily what it is), but not at the expense of qualities such as kindness and compassion. Basically, I’m really drawn to people who use...

    A hello

    Don’t worry, @Han. Everyone who doesn’t like pineapple on pizza is wrong. :D Welcome to the forums! You’ll meet some great people here, for sure.

    30-something Aspie writer from Australia saying ‘Hi!’

    Your main character doesn’t have to be likeable, just compelling and relatable in certain ways, and that includes through their flaws. It’s definitely harder to write a character like that though, and not something I’ve really tried, to be honest. Sounds like a fun challenge. I don’t know if...

    Better late than never - Hi from Australia

    Oh, nice. Sounds like a perfect place to live, except for the warmth perhaps (I’m assuming it gets pretty humid?). But yeah, it’s the same here, and I struggle with it in the summer and live under the air conditioning. I’m not near the beach, sadly, and don’t go to the beach nearly as much as...

    What activities do you like to do for fun?

    Sounds like a productive day! I write. Well, I haven’t in a while, kind of stuck in a rut, like you with your art. But I’m determined to keep going until I inevitably get out of it again. There’s always been a natural ebb and flow with writing for me, largely dependent on what’s going on in my...

    Reason why I think I am on the autistic spectrum

    I hesitate to say one way or the other, but I will second others’ opinions and say it might be worth having a chat with a psychologist/psychiatrist with expertise in ASD. Many people are happy remaining undiagnosed but strongly identifying with many ASD traits and being part of a community. For...

    Rating Buttons/Karma

    I love the social buttons! They’re one of the best things (well, technical things) about the forums. Sometimes you just don’t need/want to reply in words but still want to acknowledge someone’s post. I wish it was socially appropriate to do the equivalent ‘signs’ out there in the real world...
