    I went to the psychiatrist today because for a while I've been thinking that I may have autism. Although they didn't tell me "you have autism" or anything, after talking to them and saying out loud what I wanted to say, I'm now sure that I do have autism. I'm happy I'm sure now because I've...

    Trichotillomania in my aspie kid

    
My nine-year-old kid plucked part of his eyelashes out on Sunday. It was not the first time, but the second. The first time was when he learned that his best friend was changing schools. As a consequence, he plucked out 90% of the eyelashes in one eye, and half of them in the other.

    Autistic Opinion - Greta Thunberg ~ Autistamatic

    There's been some nasty things said about Greta Thunberg. Whether you agree with her stance on climate change or not, the comments that are made to derail her because she is autistic, young, female etc. have been distasteful to say the least. This hit a peak this weekend when a short video of...

    Suspected Asperger's all my life

    I'm a 24 year old female. I'm diagnosed with ADHD since 2016 but I think there is more to it. What has made me suspect Asperger's? As a child, I had to attend occupational therapy because I would have meltdowns if seams of my clothing would touch my skin. I had to wear all my clothes inside...
