    Gidday..

    Hi again I'm in Queensland. I remembered that at Uni I did 3 subjects a semester instead of 4 and that helped me. In semester 3 (Summer break) I would pick up the other 2 subjects. This made it less stressful for me. As for living arrangements I preferred living by myself. When I did have a room...

    Gidday..

    Welcome I'm from OZ as well. I went to uni and just loved it. Best years of my life. I studied visual arts majoring in conceptual art (installation) and printmaking. It worked for me because as an Aspie I took it as a routine (saw it as a job), I scheduled and mapped out my day and that really...

    Sleep pattern

    I use Phenergan you can by it at the chemist. It is used to prevents motion sickness, and treats nausea. It is also used as a sedative or sleep aid. I take it at 5-6pm and by 10-11pm I'm sleeping and it's a rested sleep. Phenergan is a antihistamine and causes drowsiness. It comes in liquid...

    Hello!

    Hi Emily, Welcome and enjoy the site :-) Aspergers and autism run in families. I'm Aspergers and so is my son. If I start to reflect on my family I'd say so was my grandmother and my mother. But they haven't been diagnosed. My son and I have and we see lots of parallels. Well hope you look...

    My GF has Aspergers and I am ignorant to it all. HELP!

    Thank you for your opinion on the term Aspie. As a person who lives with it I have no problem using the term. And this site is called Aspies Central. This is a place of non judgement and we accept all :-) Hope it all goes well on your end.

    My GF has Aspergers and I am ignorant to it all. HELP!

    As an Aspie female I don't lie and all the other Aspie women I know are the same. We are basically straight talkers. Sometimes we can be insensitive and say thing how they are. Aspie women are also independent and trust is a big thing for us. Don't let your insecurities affect your judgement...

    My GF has Aspergers and I am ignorant to it all. HELP!

    Why don't you go with her? Yes social cues are issues for us. But she keeps you posted and by the sounds of it she trusts you. Have you thought of going out with her? Just a thought. And it is miss not sir :-)

    My GF has Aspergers and I am ignorant to it all. HELP!

    Hi Grady, When you have asked her what she has done, what has she actually said? Has she actually said that she was unfaithful? Have you been out with her to see how she behaves? I think you are doing very well and being very patient and understanding. I personally would put up with it, but then...

    Welcome :-) You will fit in here just fine :-) Everyone here has a story, some have happy ones and others have sad stories. Some cope well and others need strategies to cope with daily life. Social interaction and expectations can be hard. We are all individuals and unique that's what makes us...

    Hi

    Hello and welcome. We all have bad day. I find that if I focus on my hobby or interest I don't experience loneliness or boredom like most people. When I did experience these things it was generally when I was in a relationship.
