    Hello, just diagnosed

    I am 40 years old mom of 3 kids. I have just received my diagnosis of Aspergers this morning. It's not a huge shock as I've suspected it for a while. 2 of my children are on the spectrum so it was while researching their needs that I came across "symptoms" that were me. I'm rambling ...

    Broaching relationship issues with ASD boyfriend

    Okay, so I've been at this for over three years now. You'd think I'd be a pro by now, but alas, not yet! I'm unsure of the best approach for broaching relationship issues with my bf whom we suspect is on the spectrum. For some history, he was married and divorced shortly before we met. I...

    Autism Spectrum Syndrome?

    I'm not saying Autism is or isn't a disorder (I don't have much of an opinion about it because I don't mind the word disorder), but some suggest that it isn't a disorder. I realized at 2 am (the best time for pondering) that if it's not a disorder it would be a syndrome. The only issue is that...

    What is PDD-NOS considered under the DSM-5?

    When I was 7 I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS under the DSM-4. Now that DSM-5 is out I'm not sure what I am. I saw a group for people with ASD Level 1 I might want to go to but am not certain if I'd be level 1 or 2. I feel like socially I'd be a 1 but otherwise I'd be a 2. Since it's not...

    INTJ & Aspie or just INTJ ?

    Recently my friend has taken the Myers Briggs and said he's an INTJ. He is a classic INTJ as a matter of fact and it explained a lot of what I found puzzling about him. But he also has heightened sensory issues with sound and smell and has some social difficulties, e.g. he is totally unable to...
