    Troubles with best friend

    I recently have big argument with my best friend in which he told me what a burden I am for him. And no matter what he misunderstands or says incomprehensible (even to neurotypical people), he will always find a way to say that I just don't understand because I have autism. I know that I'm...

    Possible Cause and Cure for Emotional Problems in Autism

    Need Help Understanding

    I'm relatively new to the autism world and autism in general, so I need some help here. What's the difference between meltdowns, sensory overload and panic attacks? Because, today, like most days, I experienced what I thought was a panic attack but lately I've been thinking it might be sensory...

    Wierd Things I've Noticed

    I think about this a lot actually because I honestly have no idea what it is but, does anyone have trouble differentiating things? Like, for example: sometimes I can't tell if something is cold or damp, which makes doing laundry a hassle. :D I also have trouble telling the difference between...

    Shame and Denial to Acceptance

    So, I want to start a thread on the topic of denial around autism because I've have yet to see anyone discuss things like this yet. If this type of negative talk isn't allowed, please let me know. Let me start off by saying that I am fairly new to this website (a few days) and my autism in...

    Isolation

    Okay, so I've only recently discovered I might be autistic, and I've been homebound off and on for a good almost 7 years now. I haven't been going out, avoid grocery stores, can't even walk past a certian point without going into a panic attack. At first, I thought it was because my officially...

    Possible treatment for ASD and ADHD.

    Hi people, I'm also an Aspie and have discovered a simple trick which calms me down 24/7 and allows my mind to have a single focus, rather than the conflicting, stressful state I was born with. I've not discussed this trick before, and continue to experiment. The trick is to simply block one...

    Memetics

    The science of memetics is the study of how ideas spread. At least that's how I understand it. And for a while I thought, okay, that's cool that it's not just about lol memes, but so what? But now I think it might touch upon an important mechanism that can help us understand the allistic world...

    There is zero scientific evidence people with autism are neurodiverse

    I have studied the science of autism for years. There is zero scientific evidence that autistic brains are wired differently. Other people not being cured by CBT is irrelevant. It just means they weren't able to identify and change the beliefs that caused their symptoms. Given how stubborn...

    Misunderstandings

    Up until last year, I thought people treated me poorly because I was different. I blamed them for making me feel worse. I tried hard to act normal but I wasn't perfect and still got criticized. Since I couldn't change how people treated me, I thought there was nothing I could do about it. The...

For example, here are some specific things I've done that other people didn't like: 1. Don’t make eye contact 2. Don’t...
