    Most surprising thing you learned about ASD

    I do this when I'm eating or waiting in line or something where im checking out like you said. My husband often looks at me wired and asks what I'm looking at, especially if it's accidentally at a person, but no one else has ever noticed.

    I have never thought about this. That is really interesting to consider. 90% seems so high!

    Most surprising thing you learned about ASD

    I know people say make eye contact and I think I do when I initially walk up to a person, but sustaining eye contact has always felt awkward or agressive. I notice it now. I look at what I'm talking about or behind the person or something. I thought that's what everyone did. Never noticed...

    Psychologist surprised I didn't know I was Autistic

    I was diagnosed ADHD as a child. I'm now questioning and working on getting back to a psychologist to be assessed for autism. Based on what I'm learning I'm pretty sure now that at a minimum something is up, but for over 10 years of treatment for adhd I don't think autism was ever brought up...

    Appropriate responses to deaths.

    Thanks for the advice. I still don't see any funeral information and I wonder if it is because of an investigation, there might not be any for a while. I also think going would be to scary and since I don't know anyone it would be odd. Thanks for the help. I think I will pick up a card...

    I took the pictures with her phone for her so I don't have any unfortunately. I'm assuming she wanted them to send to someone so I hope someone has them. She was all dressed up for something fancy and very excited about it.

    I found her name thankfully, so I can at least address a card now.

    I think that is part of why I feel so sad about it. The circumstances were absolutely tragic and you hear about these things in the news but you always think it could never happen to anyone who you know. Makes you realize how fragile life can be.

    Appropriate responses to deaths.

    I've been really struggling with this since Thursday. My neighbor passed away in a tragic incident. She was deaf, or very hard of hearing, and she spoke but it was very hard to understand. So we communicated through a lot of hand waving, some signing, and notes if I was struggling too much...

    Not alone, and that it ok, and even sometimes a good thing.

    Most surprising thing you learned about ASD

    Taste? That's interesting and I have never thought someone could taste differently from me. Thinking and communicating definitely. Its hard to wrap my brain around how other people tick sometimes.

    Most surprising thing you learned about ASD

    Regarding the face blindness, I struggle with this so much at work where I have to work with a group that is made up of older (late 40s-60s) white men. They all look so similar I can not remember what each one looks like. I meet with each of them a few times a year when they visit from other...

    Can you be alcohol-intolerant?

    Yes! I am! I talked to my doctor about it. The first time I drank, I drank with my now husband and I drank waaaaaay to much. I got really sick. I assumed it was because I had to much and it was my first time drinking. I got sick again every time I drank, no matter how much, and so at my...

    Aspergers and Depression (My Intro)

    Hello, I hope that you find a lot of support here. I joined recently and I am finding it so relieving to talk with people who have similar experiences. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, but I'm not sure yet about autism. Even so, the people here have been wonderful and kind. Web developing is...
