    Introspective: how did you accept your Autistic traits/diagnosis?

    Thanks, Alexej, it felt lengthy while typing because more and more thoughts were coming up in the process and I was wondering if I was rambling again and not getting to the point(s) I wanted to mention. So I cut myself short at one point. I probably could have gone on forever!

    Introspective: how did you accept your Autistic traits/diagnosis?

    Interesting question raised here, thanks! As most of you know, I am not (yet) diagnosed. The centres in my home town have a waiting list for three years, and now they stopped new adult applicants. So getting formally diagnosed will happen at one point in the rather far future. I'm still new to...

    What fictional characters do you suspect of being autistic?

    I was thinking out loudly. As I don't know the books, I can only judge on the few episodes I've watched on the telly a few years ago. I definitely see the trauma thing but while I'm exploring my own little self from a different point of view, I was wondering if there was more to it. Anyhow...

    Being Autistic vs. having Autism.

    So far, as an undiagnosed one, I prefer to say that I think that I am on the spectrum. It's neutral, it's open (because I haven't got a clear discription). I also sometime use "I am" but also "I have". Not sure, though, how my feelings will change in the coming months and years. However, both...

    Words that cannot be said

    First of all, Happy Birthday, @Brit, hope you have a good one! Second: I'm not yet diagnosed but his reactions made me nod again and again. Re the status of relationship: I can't have a full relationship. Tried it a couple of times but usually back out at one point when it gets too close, when...

    Aspects of Asperger's

    A lot to read! And even though I have only started, I have found myself nodding, smiling and thinking, "yep, know that one", so many thanks for this! An excellent resource for someone on their own journey!

    Coping with Change

    I can feel you. I hate change as well, even though I can cope with it to a certain degree, especially at work. I work in customer service, and we work in shifts, and each month is different to the one before, even each week is different to the one before. There's no real order in that. Then...

    Hello, my first thread :)

    Hi and welcome, Sea! I'm sure you'll find answers to your questions here. Maybe not all, but quite a few surely.

    Christianity and Aspergers

    I was baptised and confirmed in a protestant church but never much of a churchgoer. Things changed when 6 years ago, I came across a church service in a different denomination. I've become a regular church goer, an active member of the parish and even got confirmed into my new denomination 3.5...

    not interested

    My problem is: I am interested in our family history, probably always have been but I can't stand the way my parents present it or my late grandparents did it. Even as a child I was annoyed by their communication.

    Losing A Lifelong Special Interest

    Having more than one special interest sounds like a good idea! And I can definitely say that there's a huge difference between doing things voluntarily or as a job (or you have to do it for other reasons...) I realised it firstly quite early in life. I had been interested in a certain era in...

    Hi and welcome! With all these test results you've posted, you're a good deal ahead of me! I'm sure you'll find many helpful hands and empathic listeners/readers here.

    not interested

    Sounds like some of the discussions I have with my parents! Especially when they come back from holidays, full of excitement, and forget that I've never been to that place. And then they go into details. Why can't they just say something in general, and if I'm truly interested in the subject/the...
