    How can I avoid my new colleagues hating me?

    Maybe... NTs don’t like Aspies to ask for advantages because of their conditions... It’s unfair, I guess, but that is the experience I made. They are sensitive to noise and many other things, too. They have problems, too. And might, therefore, not be pleased if we Aspies ask for special...

    Is forgetting a lot an Aspie trait?

    It's so really interesting what you, all together, write!!! When I was a child, the worst was to figure out what homework I had to do... It was not lazyness, it had just vanished from my existence, every afternoon. No glue where I had written it down either... My (diagnosed) daughter (20 years...

    Diagnosed later in life - female

    Hi! I am 42. Self diagnosis, followed by an official diagnosis, a few years ago. I am trough many things you all describe. Since I know about Aspergers Syndrome, I understand me and others better. Every single person has, in my opinion, at least a few autistic features. So, knowing about these...

    Autistic Girlfriend, I am depressed

    Okay... You are allowed to be concerned about yourself! This is not about right or wrong. You can chose how you want to act. My way would be to be patient. Nowadays an oldfashened and unpopular way of acting, maybe. Show her your interest, don't give up, always respecting her privacy. Maybe it...

    What makes you cry?

    Somebody else who gets headache from crying? I rather avoid it, because I'll get an enormous headache as consequences. This is sad because crying should really bring a considerable relieve to emotional overload... I will get wet eyes or spill some tears if something seems really wrong, unfair...

    Do you care how others perceive you?

    All you guys write here is very interesting and helpful. I like it that you go of distance to neurotypicals, maybe call people without Aspergers Syndrome only 'them', ... But we have to be careful! Some of 'them' are really GREAT in many ways! We should always keep that in mind.

    Reedstorm17, you give a perfect discription for what I feel as well❗️

    Do you care how others perceive you?

    A thought: maybe the issue is that Aspies have to be very aware of other people's output if willing to understand them! That might be the reason why many of us think that NTs look as close at our behavior da we at their communication. Plus, we are generally used to, at least sometimes, say or do...

    Do you care how others perceive you?

    Oh, I don't know... I am afraid of consequences, I think. I can't stop thinking that I might not have pleased somebody enough. And I fear - I don't know what, but it is very mighty.... I am afraid of being hurt, I think. How can I 'grow a thicker skin', as Rich Allen calls it??? How?? My skin...

    Do you have problems falling asleep?

    In my case, I usually work hard, too hard. I really hope to cut down soon. The bad thing is that I am always tired. The good thing is that I normally fall asleep easily. I worry about the moment I manage to REALLY cut down on working. It will be great but will I be able to sleep???

    Shine On You Crazy Diamond...

    Hello! Now I have to write a few lines! I am so really happy! After all that time I managed to get a new password. For some reason the one I had stopped to work very soon after my suscription. Surely, I did something wrong, but I am not aware of it. AND I am very busy so all few months I tried...

    What is love???

    Yes... Thanks a lot. First (past months) I was writing (not very much) in an german Aspie- forum, but they (not all of them!!!) are not as open minded as you here, afterwards I was writing in an spanish one, but they (not all of them!!!) seemed very depressive to me. I like your answers. They...

    What is love???

    Thank you for your answers. I think that they are very wise. I´ll read them over again to memorize them properly. May there be a mix between the Eros Love and the Agape Love? And may it be that I need suffering( for example, in order to feel enough)?? The few relationships I had were all coming...

    What is love???

    Yeah. Than it´s easier. I envy you. Or not? Sex is a lot of fun, at least to me. But it has a lot to do with trust. If I can´t trust a person I could never relax, I guess. ( I didn't have many different partners.) And if i can´t relax, why should I do it??
