    Developing a marketplace for ASD artists, craftspeople, and businesses

    I love this entire idea. I have a friend who is also on the spectrum and I am helping him market his work. I studied marketing and am excellent at producing ad copy and pricing. I would love to help any way I can once my skills are needed!

    News From Kansas: Boy With Asperger's Severely Beaten In School

    Thank you, my own experience wasn't great. I tended to go spastic on people who bullied me and those unable to stand up for themselves. I attended through the 80's and 90's, and was an A student and very quiet. I'm sure that's the only reason I didn't get in trouble for sticking up for people...

    News From Kansas: Boy With Asperger's Severely Beaten In School

    My son's best friend is aspies and was bullied horribly by a certain student. He was 13. His mom went to the teachers, bus driver and the principal. No action was taken. Finally one day the bully followed this child off the school bus, had him pinned to the ground and was punching him in the...

    Food stuff!

    Honestly, I have recipes, but I use them only as a base. I panic if everything has to be perfect. This is why I don't bake. About the third time I have to level off a teaspoon, I lose it and start dumping random stuff into the mix. It rarely ends well. I always have to throw something different...

    Since finding out you are an aspie, does this effect your stimming?

    I rub and twitch my fingers, I can't talk on the phone without pacing rapidly..as a teenager I almost broke my neck several times when I'd hit the end of the phone cord hahaha.I tend to hum atonally when I get really stressed. Also I sway side to side. I always thought the swaying was because...

    "But s/he looks just like me": How we confuse NT partners

    Honestly? I think he would be very upset if he was diagnosed. I doubt he would ever even submit to testing. He also has very few friends, and like me, isn't concerned with it. I'm so happy to be with someone who just accepts me and isn't looking to do anything but support and love me, that I...

    Disasters in Disclosing Diagnosis

    Although, I have been a single mom for 14 years, when I told my children who are 14 and 12, their responses were "Cool, so can I show you the comic I just drew?" and "Huh. What's for dinner?" Gotta love it.

    Disasters in Disclosing Diagnosis

    Both of my parents and all of my grandparents passed away years before my diagnosis. The family I have left is a few aunts and an uncle, a couple of cousins I haven't spoken to in years and a brother who has been addicted to narcotics and sedatives for so long I don't know if he actually hears...

    "But s/he looks just like me": How we confuse NT partners

    My diagnosis was recent, and I was already in a relationship when I got it. I have had trouble in the past, mainly with my NT partners becoming verbally sometimes physically abusive. I was once knocked down and kicked by my partner. When I cried he said "Finally! It's like living with a robot...

    A THEORY ON ASPIEISM. (Random thoughts by Grumpy Cat)

    My boyfriend has many many many Aspie traits, but he would be absolutely devastated if he tested out AS. He is in his forties and once told me Autism and ADHD didn't actually exist, they were a result of poor parenting. Obviously, this man has never had a friend with either. This is because he...

    Aspies and Art

    I call art anything to which you have applied your mind and imagination or sense of logic and made it something different and unique. I don't care if it's drawing, writing, painting, photography, singing, dancing, I don't care if you glue beads to driftwood or make sculptures out of chicken...

    Aspies and Art

    I want to crawl inside this photograph with a good book and curl up under a tree for the next three years or so..wait, I'll need more books. I swear I can smell the leaves. This is so beautiful.

    A new word for Stimming

    I usually just say " excuse me whilst I twitch" and then I proceed to enjoy the heck out of myself, flapping, flicking, bouncing up and down and humming. I get odd looks sometimes, but the relief is greater than their disapproval. I like the sound of 'meeping', though. Hee, "Sorry I must meep...

    Hey..

    Haha! My boyfriend loves to lecture, which I really get into, but he also does the rapid-fire questions days later, then he usually grins and says "I'm sorry I made you go all deer in the headlights, but your answers were spot on!" I come from a teensy little town, and most people there have...
