    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...

    What is the difference between Aspergers and Autism?

    I know this is kind of a dumb/ignorant question, but even though I'm definitely on the spectrum, I don't have any ASD friends or family, and all my doctors and therapists have kind of left it at telling me I have it. So, what, if anything, is the difference between Aspergers and High-Functioning...

    Hi!

    My name is Kenzie. I am new here and am self-diagnosed autistic. I was wondering if anyone could help me decide if it is worth getting an official diagnosis. I have several autistic traits including avoiding eye contact, not catching on to social ques, not understanding jokes and sarcasm...

    Hi, I'm new here and also new to the spectrum

    I don't know how to start, but I searched and searched and looked into other's posts. So I think this is the right place for me. (If my language or word choice comes as offensive, please tell me. English is not my native language and I acknowledge that I lack many understandings in the...

    Is this an autism thing or a me thing?

    From the beginning of the pandemic to now, except for all the stuff going on outside my home, which meant no more new episodes of shows I like, I am honestly pretty happy with the staying at home stuff. I felt/feel really relieved to not have to talk to strangers or go through the confusing and...

    Therapist thinks I have Asperger's. 43 year old female

    Hello. I'm not entirely sure what to say. I'm looking for some advice and help. I'm 43, married, work full time to a hospital. I've had bad anxiety and depression most of my life and problems with social interaction and making friends most of it. There were periods I did though, but time...

    My Aspie friend told me they love me -and I feel the same way!- but......

    Hello everyone, this will be my first thread that's not an introduction thread! As the title already mentioned, I have a very close friend who has diagnosed Asperger's Syndrome. I personally have PDD-NOS myself. While I have an easy time describing my strengths and weaknesses, and what I can...

    Aspies and Dry People

    This just crossed my mind, as we got a new employee where I work, she has a very ‘dry’ personality and is very snappy with me when I say something random. Now, understand I work at a very busy salon and experience a lot of different personalities, but I’ve never quite met someone like her. The...

    Forming and maintaining friendships

    In the past year or so I have started to attempt to form connections with others. I have formed some friendships with some people, but honestly it is so exhasting. And the deeper the connection that I feel for a person, the more I rely on their company. I get terrified of making people angry...

    Wearing headphones in public

    What does wearing headphones to public mean? Logic tells me that it means that 'I don't want to communicate, so pass me by without bothering' but I know that I shouldn't apply my logic to others. Also, it doesn't seem to work like this on too many people. I'm asked all the time during travel...

    Will my Aspie ex come back to me?

    To begin with, let me talk about our backgrounds a little. I'm a NT with depression and prone to being paranoid, grew up in a family with angry issue parent. He is an Aspie with PTSD from highschool bullying and has been dwelling in his room for over 6 years, he barely goes out, online friends...

    I have a treasure trove of weird ideas to write & draw....

    I've posted before that I love to draw comics. It might seem weird to see someone like me complain that I have too many ideas to draw. But I do! And I have issues deciding, it's like it just blows up in a big dilemma over nothing thinking about it. Do any of you guys suffer from this alot? What...

    Explaining to my grandparents about my Aspergers/Update

    I recently came to terms with my ASD and have been making a ton of changes in my school and work life to accomodate myself as best as I can. Thing is, I need support from my family to get most of these things. Currently, they're my biggest obstacle to getting what I need. I live with my...

    Not sure how to handle this...

    So, I'm not very good with handling people who are upset. When it's something small, I can usually feign sympathy and give very uncomfortable hugs and that enough. But... Well a few days ago my step-father passed away (suicide), and while this was quite a shock when I first heard about it, I...

    Confused about death

    I have always found death to be confusing. I don't get upset and am confused when others do. When my grandmother died (I was 13-14) I wasn't sad, I just felt inconvenienced. The same for anyone I've ever known who has died. Even more confusing is when people are upset because people they...
