    Looking back on the first two years after my AS diagnosis

    "Almost everything in my life suddenly seem(e)d to appear in a completely different light, to make sense, to become logical in (a) way where before a mixture of confusion and helplessness was the predominant feeling:" I've felt in many ways just like you. It's just really important that you...

    Do Aspies Have A Sense of Humor?

    Brevity is the soul of wit. English cuisine is well interesting. Infinite monkey theorem suggests that all of Shakespeare's plays could have been typed out at random by an infinitely typing monkey, which I believe would be an argument for determinism. None of this has anything to do with being...

This is the only time I can exercise control over how terrible I really feel and how frustrated I am. Everything the person wrote they had control over. They probably wrote this hours...

    Jobs for people with Autism/Aspergers Syndrome

    This is one of the reasons I've decided to get involved in the neurodiversity movement. It's important that the narrative about ASD changes. I think it's counterproductive if the focus becomes about who we are as opposed to opportunity. I experienced this phenomenon myself in the US and Germany...

    Hi from Berlin, Germany

    I'm a diagnosed bilingual autistic expat living in Berlin. I see patterns, which means that my mind can connect the dots (i.e. my profile picture.) I avoid people in my private life but try to present a personable persona in public. Unfortunately, I'm unable to read mimic or make consistent eye...
