    what was your pre-ASD diagnosis?

    I've heard some nightmarish diagnosis stories though I am not surprised that this occurs. The symptoms of ASD easily could be mistaken for another condition, and having at least one (if not multiple) co-morbid conditions has been cited in studies to be greater than 50%. Combine that with some...

    Pokemon Go!

    I only *really* started playing recently because prior to this past weekend I had some setting on my phone (having "Mock Locations Enabled") that was preventing things from loading and I didn't know why the map seemed so empty. It's pretty cool, though it deviates quite a bit from the originals...

    Doubt my friendships.

    Several years ago, I had gotten in a relationship with a girl I had liked for several months, and when I had finally found that that liking was mutual, we got together, but I could not stop doubting that her feelings for me. One thing she told me was this. People don't waste time with people...

    Overly emotional response to someone snapping at you

    This morning I was turning into the parking garage on the way to work which is in the downtown area, so there are a lot of pedestrians (but a lot of traffic too). I turned as this woman was walking across near the turn in. I wasn't close to her as if I was close to hitting her, but I guess I...

    how to stop nose picking?

    Is it bad if I pick my nose still? I mean, I never do it in the outright public, but usually afterwords I feel like I can breathe a whole lot better. And breathing is definitely a good thing.

    The Science behind Autism...

    Nah, I think you're thinking of the right thing. It's controversial, but apparently a comorbidity of WS and AS(D) is possible (see this PubMed reference). I have a lot of issues with the article. For one, there are several hundred genes identified, and it proposes that a certain subset of them...

    What is your social kryptonite?

    When you say social situation, are you implying that there can only be one? Cause I'm pretty sure I fail at pretty much all of them. XD I recall some acquaintances in uni were playing that game and pestered me into joining just for one game, which I avoided it like the plague for the identical...

    Lack of executive functioning

    Here's a study on executive functioning in adults with ASD that you might find interesting: Real-World Executive Functions in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Profiles of Impairment and Associations with Adaptive Functioning and Co-morbid Anxiety and Depression. Have you considered the...

    People as obsessions

    Definitely. I tend to rely on a much smaller network of friends than most people, so what usually happens to me is that when I tend to become particularly good friends with someone for the first time (and a similar scenario for romantic relationships), I often become almost obsessed and want to...

    Thanks for checking it out. There were some software issues that prevented users from registering and thus I took it down in the meantime.

    Anyone interested in joining a Skype group?

    Indeed, and I'd say it's actually gotten more active as of late. :) Send me a PM with your Skype id and I'll add you to the group.
