    The Eye-Contact thing and empathy..

    It's interesting that you say this- I definitely understand feeling invisible in a group of people. It's feeling like an observer rather than someone who partakes in the social interaction. I like how you put that feeling into words. Suddenly being too involved in another individual's inner...

    Learning Better Through Documentaries

    This is a very interesting topic! I have also noticed that I struggle with language/auditory based learning. I absolutely love documentaries and tend to remember nearly everything I learn from them. I cannot say the same for books. Although I do enjoy reading, it often takes me an extremely long...

    The Eye-Contact thing and empathy..

    I like how you put this, DogwoodTree. I experience emotion like this as well. It drives my partner crazy. He never understands how (or gets that) I'm actually feeling. But I also can't explain it to him because I don't understand or can't identify exactly what the emotion is - even when I know...

    The Eye-Contact thing and empathy..

    I voted as being like Spock without being able to make acceptable eye contact, though this varies depending on who I'm talking to. I more comfortably make eye contact with people I see consistently, like my partner. I still struggle to pay attention to what people close to me are saying while...

    The Aspiescentral monthly poll; March 2014

    I am currently working full time as a temp with a pharmaceutical company. My curent work is strictly analytical chemistry, but I think I am more interested in doing formulations or more theoretical work in general. I have found that my image-based thinking and high intuition for how the physical...

    Do you like driving?

    I don't have a motorcycle license and I've never driven one, but I like the idea of them. I have been having some minor trouble driving lately, mostly because I can get so distracted. There are so many things going on to look at and hear, then think about. I have gotten in trouble in the past...

    Obsessing and need help

    Just an update, in case anyone is interested. I was able to talk with my therapist about this, and, although she had few answers for me, I was able to somehow let it go. It is strange how I became so quickly engrossed and consumed by the topic for weeks, only to almost immediately be over it...

    Obsessing and need help

    I didn't think about this until now, but perhaps that is an aspect of what I am fearing with regards to everything I keep thinking about. I have, for my entire life, felt so lost and undefined. Now, suddenly, there is something there that completely sums it up. It takes all of the feelings of...

    Obsessing and need help

    I have been having a rough February. It all started when I began seeing a therapist with the intention of starting hormone replacement therapy (I am a transman). However, somewhere in the span of our sessions, it has come up that I display many characteristics of individuals with Asperger’s. It...
