    Women and girls with autism may face greater challenges with day-to-day tasks, study finds

    This article was brought to my attention by the lovely staff at a non-profit I interact with, and I thought some of you might find it interesting. It links to a longer study; I would have liked some practical examples of their findings, but perfection doesn't exist... You can find the source...

    Hello, I’m Georgia and I’m new on the forum

    Hi everyone. I’m Georgia, I’m 20 years old and have Aspergers. I wasn’t diagnosed as autistic until about 4 years ago, but when I was very little I developed anxiety and depression as well, as a result of being misunderstood and misdiagnosed with other issues as a child. All 3 of these...

    I was diagnosed as autistic as a very young child in the 1970s along with both my brothers who are severely autistic. Neither of my brothers can read or write, count to 5 or do many things that a "normal" person can and sadly they will need 24/7 care for the rest of their lives. I was also very...

    Foriegn Languages

    I'm wondering if it is just me or an Autism thing. I find learning languages very difficult. It might be that the conversation "This pen is blue" or introductions and conversation seem pointless. Or perhaps it is overcoming the social phobias to practice the phrases I learn. Maybe I can't get...

    How The Psychedelic Furs Have Helped Me

    Since I'm now posting blogs on here and not on Tumblr anymore, this article will be a very personal and probably even an emotional one.

    "Oh you're just faking it!"

    Have any of you other Auties ever been told that you were just "faking it" to get attention? Because recently someone told me that I wasn't really Autistic ("I'm too old"), and that I'm just "going through a phase and am just doing it for attention." This was, obviously, very hurtful, as I am...
