    Hi I'm Shelby and I'm an addict.

    I screwed up with a dear friend because I’m autistic

    Long story short, I made some mistakes with a friend of mine because I let my mask down around her. We had had occasional communication difficulties (she and I are both hard of hearing and I can have a hard time understanding her voice sometimes) and I have spatial awareness problems that can...

    Could it be autism? Diagnosed with CPTSD and feeling very confused.

    Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forum and hoping to get some insight regarding CPTSD and autism. I have been officially diagnosed with CPTSD for quite a while. However, my partner (professionally diagnosed with autism) has pointed out many behaviors that could be traits of autism. We compiled a...

    Do a lot of us just like figuring out how things work?

    For example, I let my impulse get the better of me and purchased sheet music for a specific arrangement of Baroque music. I woke up and the piece was on my mind, and I thought 'Gee I wonder about the inner workings of this arrangement'. Is this common for us to have an insatiable need to explore...

    Hello, I am writing a novel primarily on autism and have reached a few parts in my book where I require the personal experiences of those with autism, which I will detail a little more down below.

    More videos of my Musical Output

    Good evening! Just figured I'd drop back in to share some more videos. some of these may be reposts, for which I apologize; it's been a while. Most recently updated was a setting of the Magnificat text, which I've also completed a couple other times, but I prefer the a capella version over...

    Which generation likely has the most autistic people?

    If I’m going to guess, I would possibly say Generation X or Millennials. Though Generation Z might have the most. Not sure, would appreciate some replies for this discussion though.

    Brushing of teeth

    When I was around 11 years old, I created a system for brushing my teeth. I knew you were supposed to brush your teeth for 2 minutes, but the area you need to brush over is quite large, so I wanted to be uniform. I segmented my teeth into 21 areas. The nine rear for the upper teeth were left...

    AspiAngie's Introduction to the Autism Forums

I posted in the generic introduce yourself thread and posted something on my profile, but as for my own introduction thread I never did. So I am now. About me: I am Angie and live in Canada. I am just about 50. I was born...

    Misdiagnosis, or missed diagnosis?

    I know I vent on here about my family a lot, and maybe it's best to not give in to anger all the time but sometimes it's as if I have no choice. Recently I've been able to access my IEP from high school, and this is the first opportunity I've had to read it post-diagnosis. What a ride...

    Vent/need for advice? I'm feeling a lot of intrusive thoughts regarding revealing my diagnosis.

    Thanks in advance; this may just be endless word regurgitation. Lately, I have had immense feelings of just wanting to reveal my diagnosis via the Facebook, where all my family could see it (as well as friends and connections of the past). I would, of course, block my parents beforehand, as...

    How do you deal with a haircut?

    I created this thread to learn more about how individuals with sensory sensitivity manage haircuts. As someone who has worked with individuals with sensory sensitivities, I understand how challenging haircuts can be for some people. The sound and feel of clippers or scissors, the sensation of...

    Autism or social anxiety, inexperience and selective mutism

    Very curious to know if my experience sounds autistic or if I’m reaching. An acquaintance asked if I was (he recognized part of himself) and my best friend asked me this as well. I always thought they said this bc they confused my social anxiety for it (which is the only diagnosis I have) but...
