    Does This Drive anyone else Mad!

    The 4th of July

    People are so stupid and careless with fireworks, and each year it just gets worse. Being an outsider on this day, I've noticed all the harm that fireworks can cause. People think the 4th is all about being wasted, wearing their American flag apparel, and blowing things up. Look at any picture...

    The 4th of July

    I obviously still struggle with ways to cope, but I have learned a few things in my years avoiding this day. Had my parents known about my sensory issue, I'm sure I wouldn't have turned out so traumatized, so you're already a step ahead of most oblivious parents! The thing that helped me the...

    Does This Drive anyone else Mad!

    UMMM YES!! It's not so much when I speak, but when I am simply walking around minding my own business, or am in deep thought, or am just relaxing my freaking face. People ALWAYS ask me what's wrong or why I'm mad and I'm just like "I'm perfectly content actually, until you just asked me that."...

    The 4th of July

    This is ideal.....in writing. Haha, but in all actuality, I can barely keep the gas tank in my car above the empty line, much less afford a vacation. Also, I have found that the "middle of nowhere" usually has the loudest fireworks. I'm going to just "hibernate" in my apartment for the 3rd and...

    The 4th of July

    I know there are plenty of threads about sensory issues already, but this is just specifically about the sensory/anxiety issues that we may feel around this holiday. I CAN'T STAND THE 4TH OF JULY!!! It comes so fast every freaking year, and it seems to be getting worse in terms of people...

    Does anyone have a mix of Aspergers and something else?

    I was diagnosed with depression and an eating disorder (bdd and bulemia) in my late high school-early college years, but the depression and self-hate started a lot earlier. I was depressed and anxious and confused and I had no idea why, which only led to more confusion and doubt and hate. I...

    Anyone else get excited over cozy spaces?

    I, too, enjoyed laying in the space between my bed and the wall, I actually slept there for my entire junior year of high school! I also used to crawl into my dogs' kennels when I was growing up and just hang out. It was very relaxing and almost comforting, I would still do it if I still had a...

    How Do You Deal with Judgmental People Who Don't Understand?

    I forgot to put this in my last post. It's just what I was responding to ;)

    How Do You Deal with Judgmental People Who Don't Understand?

    It really is a work out! I haven't done it in two years, but I am about to order a pole online finally. It will take a lot of getting used to (again) because it hurts every part of your body, including your skin. It is a perfect balance of cardio and weight lifting (the weight you are lifting is...

    How Do You Deal with Judgmental People Who Don't Understand?

    OOOOH MY GOSH!! I am sorry but I have just never talked to someone with ASD that has been a stripper! I thought I was alone. I agree with almost everything that you have said! I started doing it because I was in college and my license got suspended, but the strip club was right down the...

    any one else ever think about just leaving?

    It's like you pulled this thought directly from my brain. I have a fantasy of living in a tree house by a beautiful waterfall that leads to a crystal clear private lake. There are a bunch of wild animals roaming around but it's okay because they are all my friends. All I need to be happy is a...

    How Do You Deal with Judgmental People Who Don't Understand?

    Yeah I say to myself all the time "people are going to love you and hate you no matter what you do, so just do what makes you happy because their opinions don't matter." Well, as much as I want to and try to believe that, I still have to survive in this world, and like KassieMac said, it can be...

    Yet another shooting, yet another "Aspergers Syndrome" diagnosis

    To me, the only thing his parents did wrong was give him everything that he ever wanted, and if they didn't, he would throw a tantrum until they gave in. They never taught him the value of money or instilled any sort of work ethic in him. In the manifesto, he writes that he didn't even think...

    Yet another shooting, yet another "Aspergers Syndrome" diagnosis

    From page 51 of the manifesto : "Every single second of my brother's life, everything that happens to him in the future, will exist because I pulled him out of the water that day." So he was crediting himself for what his brother was going to accomplish- is a better way to put it. And yeah he...
