    What is your "Aspie Superpowers"?

    I think I would describe mine as the same as other people here. Observing people my whole life has given me a lot of insight into ways of deducing their behavior rationally that most people don't need to do. I notice the type of things most people don't pay attention to (for example, I like...

    Why, Blizzard, Why?

    Hmmm,I've been playing a lot of Overwatch recently, but I was under the impression that Hammond is actually underwhelming. He seems to be really situational and many characters are good vs him like Sombra (absolutely wrecks him), Reaper (like all tanks), hog, Soldier, and of course Brig...

    This is an intro, I guess.

    Hello Joshua and welcome to the forums! I also love videogames and Japan. Studying Japanese is awesome and I might even try it someday myself.

    How to help an undiagnosed 28 year old understand Aspergers?

    Well in my case, I only really first learned about autism at the same time I got diagnosed professionally, so I didn't experience arriving at the conclusion myself, however, beyond that although I kept going to a therapist, I found that my self-analysis was more useful. I don't think there is...

    The Struggle of No Friends/Relationship....

    Yeah I definitely feel the burden of loneliness a lot. I spent the last couple years completely isolated so that didn't help, I'm hoping I can turn things around though. To be honest, I don't know if I actually want to be with people or it's just me feeling ashamed that I'm not fulfilling...

    How to help an undiagnosed 28 year old understand Aspergers?

    Well if he doesn't want to, there's nothing you can really do about it. In fact, for a lot of the professional help it wouldn't even be particularly effective unless he himself is actually interested in doing it. I definitely don't think it is necessary to get professional help in order to reach...

    faceless people

    This is a lot more common than people realize. It has to do with the fact that the part of the brain that specifically work to recognize faces is different than the one for recognizing other stuff (so you can have problems recognizing faces even if not for other things). It's definitely a real...

    What fictional characters do you suspect of being autistic?

    One that definitely comes to mind is the main character from the show Bones. I think it is uncommon for there to be any official recognition of autism by authors of fiction although oftentimes it can be implied. To be honest, I think almost every show tends to have at least one character that...

    How to help an undiagnosed 28 year old understand Aspergers?

    Well when something like that is initially considered after a long time of living and having no idea, it can definitely come as a shock (that's how it was for me, couple years ago). You will find that quite a number of people who introduce themselves here state that their diagnosis came late in...

    Hello, just diagnosed

    Hello and welcome Caryn! If you call that rambling, then I feel especially bad about when I write multiple paragraph essays in response to people :p. Regardless, I think people here don't mind it and you don't have to apologize. Hope you enjoy your stay.

    Intro

    Hello Judy and Welcome to the forums, You will be able to find many threads here on the same subject which you might want to check out :) . I would say that the most important thing to realize is that his understanding of what a relationship is, as well as perhaps his way of understanding and...

    Are people on the spectrum capable of lying or manipulating?

    Hello Jamie, I don't find the question stupid or offensive at all. Thanks for asking! Just as previous posters have said, in answer to your title question: yes. I can say, for example, that I am definitely capable but almost never do, primarily because I lack a lot of the motivations that...

    Introduction/question

    It is certainly possible. I think you will have to develop some effective study techniques/routines that work for you to get through the college studying though (I can't speak about the nursing school since never been). I originally went into college with the idea of being pre-med but it quickly...
