    Oh gosh that's super flattering and very sweet thanks :blush:. Haha I was definitely thinking about how I hope I can get dating advice on here while I was writing that last sentence, I just suck at picking up on signals from guys XD Oh yes and I just adore animating <3 I'm currently acting as...

    Oh goodness no I haven't actually "lost" it, the school just had no idea what they were talking about and I just believed what they said. I came to grips that it's not a losable thing a few years after that, which is good because then I stopped denying the remaining issues I had relating to my...

    Oh that's so awesome! It''s neat to see a fellow animator on here :D Oh yes and the whole undiagnosis thing was very strange. I basically started scoring off the spectrum test my school was using to test me every year. When I hit 17ish they showed me all my test scores (elementary to high...

    Would Love Some Tips on Dating in College

    Aw thats sweet, sounds like you guys really hit it off. The study group's a great idea too, I might give that a go. I go to an art college so it could be like a work group for class projects or something.

    Looks Vs Personality

    I don't develop any feelings for someone until I start talking with them and get to see and experience their personality a little. In fact I think I distrust guys that are too good looking! I think my head associates really good looks with arrogance or jerks. Obviously when I start talking with...

    Does Your Employer Know You’re On the Spectrum?

    Luckily my aspie related difficulties don't interfere or complicate work at all and I've only told a few friends. Only one keeps bringing it up as some sort of secret weird thing about myself, the others were very accepting of it and a few were apparently even autistic themselves!

    Where does Your Username come from?

    It's basically a mix up of things relating to my name. A friend back home always calls me "Shells" and there's a certain Beetles song about bells and whatnot, if that's enough of a clue ;)

    Please advise: what activities / hobbies for my 8-year old son with Aspergers?

    Hi GoodTimes! For sports definitely martial arts, it's a great way to burn some energy and it teaches the importance of self control. Also if he's into the more artsy side of things try to get him into clay. Clay can be a great outlet to get rid of energy and actually regain some focus. The...

    Talking to yourself?

    lol I always criticized my mom for talking to herself when she was behind a closed door ever sicne I was a kid (sounded like a witch chanting over a caldron or something!) Then I suddenly gave it a try when I found I was driving to my college each day. My goodness it is such a helpful tool! I'm...

    Do All of You Have a Thing???

    Hi there Acstar! As a child I was obsessed with clouds, their names and shapes and colors, I think I would check the "cloud status" every half hour by looking out the window. It sounds strange at first but there was reason to my madness. I was always worried about tornadoes and lighting as a...

    Would Love Some Tips on Dating in College

    Hi there, the name's Shell! So I'm a 22 year old Aspie (a college Junior at the moment) who's suddenly come to the realization that I've never been in a relationship and would love to be in one (I tell you it's those pesky hormones kicking in!). All of my friends and classmates tell me that...

    Oh this is so sweet, thanks! I also love your style, it's has this very surrealistic feel to it (which is one of favorite themes). It really pops off the canvas!

    Hi, all! Son not diagnosed yet, but I expect Asperger's.

    Hi there! This definitely sounds like he may have some symptoms of autism with ADHD mixed in. In my own experience getting tested through a school is iffy, it's not guaranteed they'll give you a 100% accurate diagnosis. It would probably be better to see a specialist to get him tested, they...

    Super Newcomer to the Forum!

    Hi everybody! You guys can call me Shell and I just really wanted to give this forum a try. I've never really joined a forum for anything before but I'm hoping this one really helps me out. So a little about me: I'm 22 currently going for my BFA in animation in Southern CA and I was diagnosed...
