    Removing the mask to try and find yourself...how do you do it?

    I was diagnosed this year in my 30s with ASD/Asperger's. Since childhood I knew that there was something different about how I interacted with others and the behaviors that I wanted to engage in weren't 'socially acceptable' and often was the subject of me being yelled at by my father.

    Sensory overload first-aid kit

    Hi there Community, So, yesterday and during the whole night I got a really bad case of not-so-complete shutdown. I'm sure many of you know the feeling. I thought that maybe we could create a topic where we would post our impressions of our sensory overload moments, as well as ways in which we...

    Exhaustion from every day activities

    For a long time I thought that this was something that generally everyone felt, or that yes, I'm more tired than everyone, but I could attribute it to bad health. I'm a rather healthy person though, and have been tested for things like diabetes and even cancer, anything that would explain my...
