    Do you often go out of topic?

    Definitely! I either go off topic, or the opposite happens, where everyone else has moved on from the topic and I keep discussing it well after its been put to rest by everyone else.

    How easily do you express affection to family and friends?

    This is extremely difficult for me. I feel extremely awkward when family members say I love you. I feel so phony when I try to express affection, especially when it's the common expected response. I feel like making a deal with all my family and friends, something like; let's just agree that...

    Overwhelmed with so much information?

    It always drives me crazy when someone tells you how to do something,and you say you understand, and they keep explaining it anyway.

    Death and the autistic spectrum

    I lost my brother and my father 3 months apart, and I can relate to the lack of emotion. Everyone was expecting and also treating me like I should have been devastated, but that's just not what I was feeling, to be honest, I dont think I felt anything. I was to busy trying to act like I was...

    What would you do for $225/ day?

    That is one of the questions I ask myself everyday. Is all the running around and working really worth it? It takes up most of my time and thinking,and it is constant stress and by the time I can relax, I'm either to tired to enjoy it or im still thinking about what's next. I think about the day...

    What Are Your Triggers?

    When I think I have social interaction finally figured out and then I fail, usually in an epic manner. When I reflect on it and realize how far from hitting the mark I was, that's when the meltdown starts.

    What is your earliest memory?

    I have a few memories from around the age of 3 or 4. One of them was when I was running in my backyard barefoot and I stepped in a pile of my dogs poop. I remember I wouldn't take another step or put my foot with the poop on it back on the ground until my dad sprayed it off with the hose.

    ASD & The brain -> Solving the reality thing?

    What would be the benefit from teaching an aspie social skills? And if he did learn these social skills would they be real or would they just be learned and then systematically used by the aspie?

    Is this a "me" thing, or an ASD thing?

    Drive my self crazy thinking about every aspect of life. Anyone else?

    Therapist Do's and Don'ts

    Thank you for your willingness to understand more about this. In my experiences with therapists it seemed repeatedly like an immediate generalization was made. And that I was put into a category. I definitely agree individual therapy is the best route. The details of each patient. There own life...

    Aspergers and Fear

    . This is a little out of the box, but you could tell your daughter it's okay not to look people in the eye. I struggled with thinking everyone was looking at me for quite some time. It was like i was in a movie and everyone is watching me. When I learned more about aspergers I learned...

    Veiw on people in general

    I have this group of about 9 or 10 guys, and we all met around the same time and at the same place, and became friends. This was over 26 months ago. We would all go out for pizza, occasionally a football game, or just to hang out somewhere. Over these 26 months these guys started to build deeper...

    Veiw on people in general

    It's like they all have a map to follow and they like following it.

    Starting to think I might be on the spectrum...

    I can relate to a lot of your story, from the bipolar, addiction, ADD and many other diagnosis. And I also relate to the creations of games and scenarios I would make up in my head as a kid, I remember creating these scenarios many times in school, and family events. I always find it interesting...
