    Soda/Sugar Addiction and Prozac Dosage

    I'm still dealing with the soda/sugar addiction I posted about several months ago, and I had to put up with another lecture from my mother yesterday about how, if I gain more weight and outgrow my clothes, I can't afford new ones. The night before, I actually had a dream in which someone...

    My kid’s meltdown

    After a thread posted by @Voltaic, where he asked if people in this forum loved themselves, I wrote a blog post saying that my main goal as a mom was to love my kids and teach them to love themselves. Two days later, my seven-year old son spent like an hour screaming, pacing around with his...

    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 why I'm so mixed in this aspect...

    It's weird. Sometimes I just want to be left alone, while at other times I'm the one who cannot leave people alone . Moreover, this often depends on the person. If these people are my friends - the very few ones I managed to make - I cling to them like a moth to a flame. I cannot let go of...

    Do autistic parents use different parenting techniques to NT parents?

    I read an article today that features several mothers who were Dx'd as adults - after they had children, in fact. Many of them say that (1) they do things differently from NT mothers and (2) they're terrified of social services taking their kids away because of their autism diagnosis. I'm not...

    Should I be angry?

    I found out about my aspergers at 27 and I mentioned this word aspergers to my dad who has a severely autistic brother. My words were, 'There's this thing called aspergers' to which he replied he knew this word and I said 'Well I think I have it' Then my dad said 'You do yes'. He then went on to...

    My Dad trying to correct my speech

    This is a little tough to explain. When I'm talking to people that I don't know very well, I have no speech issues because I try to talk "normally". However, when I'm home I talk in a way that feels natural and easy to me, like I have a habit of tacking an 's' on the end of the last word of my...
