    Communication problems...

    Hi! I have been together with my boyfriend for 1.5 year, except for 2 months last summer when he said he didn't want to hurt me anymore and broke up. Before he broke up he told me he still had feelings for me though. 2 months after he obviously felt better and contacted me. He also had some...

    The potato bazooka

    I have two friends who used to be a couple, who were friends of my ex and I when we were a couple too. We don’t live in the same country anymore, but when I learned that they separated more or less at the time than we did, I contacted them (separately). What she said about their separation was...

    Do people who are intellectually gifted develop obsessions the same way that people with autism do?

    Considering that I have been tested to be intellectually gifted but I haven’t been tested for autism, I need to know.

    Self-Diagnosed Female Having Troubles Getting a Psychologist...

    I've always felt different from others. For me, it was like I was a sheep living in a world of wolves in sheep's clothing. They all act normal and carefree, whilst I'm horrified to interact with them because they all look like predators and I'm prey. Of course, I'm the only one who notices this...

    Does My Father Have Asperger?

    I've always viewed my father as a successful man, but there has always been something to him that both me and my mother viewed unique. I didn't know what Asperger is until last week. The more and more I read about it, sounds really like my dad. These are the symptoms my father have: - My father...

    Mum is Asperger

    Ok so with all the info recently on TVs and in the press I have diagnosed my mum with Aspergers- this has made me make sense of her way and actions over the years. I wouldn't dare tell her as she would not accept that but she has upset me so many times over the years with her indifference and...

    Hello Awesome Warriors! I'm new and newly diagnosed- Just saying HI

    It only took me three weeks to decide to say, HI, publicly. :) But here I am. Newly-diagnosed, 56-year-old retired law professor. As I look back and begin to understand the past 50 years, I am stunned as to how I ever made it this far! The learning curve is steep, but so worth it. I very...

    Does anyone else enjoy making people feel annoyed?

    If I'm attracted to someone or like them a lot as a person, I'll annoy them. It's just, for some reason, I gain a sense of triumph, knowing that I can affect the mood of those I like romantically. I would bother them until they're aggravated. It's a delightful spectacle. The madder they are at...

I was not bullied, probably because I am very tall and played basketball from an early age. I scored 132 IQ in Mensa test. So I was good at school. Frankly...

    Just finding out I'm Asp.

    I am an undiagnosed Aspie that is finding out for the first time that I have AS. I cannot hold a job and live at home. I have all the good qualities of an Aspie in spades.
