    Why am I so forgetful.

    So I'm really stressed out right now. I am a sophomore in college, who lives in the dorms, and I just found out that I missed the deadline for applying for housing next year.

    Introduction: Nikki, 23 and still learning about my own brain

    Hi everyone, I have yet to receive a diagnosis of anything on the spectrum but I do struggle with SPD. But, the more research I do the more I relate to the stories from people with ASD or Aspergers. While I want to seek out professional opinions I would also love to talk with some people to gain...

    Blog re-launch

    Hi everyone. I have just resuscitated the blog I started a year ago when I was diagnosed. It would be great if you could have a quick look and give me some constructive feedback. I fear it may be a little dry. I would also appreciate any recommendations for the sort of subjects you think I...

    Pinterest Software

    Hi everybody, Can anyone recommend Windows software which would enable me to create pins/pin-boards like Pinterest but works offline? I do not want to set up an online account, I just want to be able to organise my thoughts, ideas and likes on my computer. Thank you

    Please tell me what you think..Thanks so much.

    I'm 35 and i've never been diagnosed because I just thought i was a little odd with my ways. I wasn't terribly non social. I had a tight circle of friends, however i always preferred to be alone or very small groups. Smells, especially not pleasant ones always were too much. If i was trying to...

    ADHDer, maybe autistic?

    Hi, I just discovered this place a couple days ago, and apparently this is the best place to start. So, I figured out I have ADHD a few years ago, after reading an article about undiagnosed ADHD in women (lower rates of diagnosis stemming from the difference in symptoms between boys and girls...

    I'm a 30-year-old female who has been thoroughly fascinated with Aspergers for months (with at least some superficial interest over the last few years).
