    Depression and acceptance

    Hello blog, it's been a while. Last time I posted an update I had just gone through a mini-psychotic break and I had just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Today I will be ranting a little, rather than posting clever and/or insightful and/or funny things. No grand things have happened to me...

    NPD /ASD what's the relationship?

    Hi all, I am struggling to distinguish the differences between NPD and AS. I have spent the last six years reading everything on NPD and I am 99.9% sure that it is my fathers condition, but now I have read a bit about AS am wondering if I have got it wrong. The questions I want to ask are...

    Driving and Me.

    So, i got my license a couple years ago. The theory tests were easy, most theory is. Depending, on a person's level of understanding, but anyway. That's beside the point. When i did my test, it took me till the fifth attempt to be able to get it. I was always jealous of people who could pass on...

    The World Isn't Ready for Me (Poem)

    So, I created this poem and submitted it to be included in my online high school's literary magazine. I just wrote about my disability, without mentioning autism explicitly. I hope it gets in the magazine! Anyways, without much more BS, here it is: I am ready for the world, But is the world...

    30, attractive but perpetually misunderstood

    Ok amazing folks...I just joined this forum. Got diagnosed with aspergers officially last year, 30 y o female. The funny thing is that although the diagnosis is meant to be empowering the only person who gets me is the psychologist who diagnosed me. I've been told that I'm beautiful , hot...

    Greetings

    Hi, I'm Mathophobe. I suck at math, but I'm pretty good at English for some reason. I recently diagnosed myself with Asperger's after years of contemplating my idiosyncratic behaviors. My fascinations include birds, '90's media, 20th-century politics, the U.S. judicial system, philosophy, gender...

    No One Special

    Just an old and very confused woman. I've been androgynous all my life and it has created constant and innumerable problems for me. I also think I may have a form of Asperger's, as many of my personal characteristics hit the benchmarks. I have a problem with collecting colorful buttons...

    A Discussion Regarding Terminology

    Asperger's VS High-Functioning Autism An Inquiry Into Terminology Forgive me for my ignorance within this post/thread. Being a individual born in the year 2000, I never quite understood the historical context of certain terminologies regarding the spectrum and it's respective communities. For...

    Friendships - usual insecurities? Looking for some insight.

    Hello everyone! Ever since I discovered I might be aspie I've been really pondering on my past social relationships. It's always been tricky - as a child I had a few play friends, but usually I would play by myself and didn't get along easily with more commanding girls. In middle school, I had a...

    Many ways of restlesness - part of the aspie experience?

    Hello! I've recently self-diagnosed myself and I'm trying to make sense of it all. A big part of me is the fact that it's very hard to find peace. I experience restlessness in multiple ways. A big aspect is the physical one: it's hard to stand still, hard to sit in a chair, I always have to do...

    Ever feel stuck?

    Hello! It's been raining for a long while now, no sun and no opportunities to go to the forest and recharge. These days, it's been so hard to do anything. I have to really push myself to do the bare minimum I set out for myself. Eventually I end up in front of the laptop, just zoning out for a...

    Influenced by the weather?

    Hello everyone! Are Aspies more prone to feel effects from weather change? I've always seemed to be especially sensitive about these things, from sudden weather changes to the atmospheric pressure. I have very different amounts of energy depending on the weather. Winter is the toughest, I also...

    masturbation /self-regulation

    Gosh, this is a tough thing to bring up in a forum, and I hope no one takes offense. It's just that I have tried to find information on the Internet to determine if, in fact, there is any reason to suspect that my compulsive masturbation as a young child might have been attributable to being on...

    Cuticle picking - stimming?

    Hello again! I was wondering if cuticle picking could be classified as stimming. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember, especially when I'm stressed. Either way, I always need to do something with my hands. This is unfortunately kinda destructive, but it's gotten better over the...

    Overactive mind - an aspie thing?

    Hello! I've just recently realized that I'm probably a high-functioning aspie. At least, this would explain so many things in my life that didn't make sense until now. I've always had a very overactive mind. Meaning, it just goes on all the time, it spreads in all directions but it also has...

    Aspergers AND Tourettes?!

    So my 10-year-old daughter has stimmed in varying ways for most of her life, and it's got worse over the last few years. Her stims are usually gross motor movements and for the past 8 months she has had a jump, where she jumps quickly enough for her feet to connect with her butt. This is worse...

    This aspie woman and her present friendships

    
Checking my Whatsapp chats I've realized that I have three friends that I interact with, in the present: one is a college friend that lives in the other side of the Atlantic, a virtual friend that also lives in the other side of the Atlantic, and a friend (mom of a friend of my daughter's).
