How do you react when just out of no where, someone says something unkind
Stay away from the women -- we Aspies and they will never get along. I was lucky enough to work for a great employer. If your employer offends you, you may wish to call them on it, or just pretend you don't know what they're talking about. We are also innocents at the heart of it all.- Aspie@60

Comment by 'Aspie@60' in 'Sad Night Thoughts'
I was "a mess" growing up, according to my mother. We're talking early '70's. I had the symptoms of Asperger's throughout childhood, and would probably agree. She didn't think much of me. I just wish she had known ...- Aspie@60

Unexpected Effect of Asperger's Diagnosis
When I received my diagnosis (age 60), I had always wondered what was "wrong" with me. Never felt like I truly fit in, like, as they say, a puzzle piece being jammed into the wrong space. I self-diagnosed at about age 58, then the official dx at 60. Okay!, thought I, now I know I can move...- Aspie@60

Is it obvious that you are aspergic
Yep, been there, done all that. Main thing I have learned is your acquaintances, friends think you're quirky, but will actively avoid acceptance of diagnosis and what, how much it means to you. Relax and enjoy making all the connections with asperger's in your past. You're not a fraud...- Aspie@60

Are animals and children attracted to you?
Absolutely! I, in return, have always felt quite comfortable in the company of animals and children. I have no children of my own, but nieces and nephews and children of friends who have always delighted me. Now we have 3 horses, 3 cats and a dog.- Aspie@60

Useful Aspergers Syndrome / Autism Links, Articles and Resources
Thank you, Judge. Even some of my best friends have dismissed out of hand the notion of my being an aspie using the exact same phrase, as well as "so what difference does it make?", with an undercurrent of "hypochondriac". I haven't been able to get them to understand the level to which this...- Aspie@60

How Do Kids With Asperger's Look At Parents?
I LOVED my family (well, except for one mean sister). Out of all (mother, father, 2 brothers and 2 sisters), I respected my mother most of all, and here's the "but" -- I always, always, always felt that she disapproved of the essential me. I know she didn't mean for this feeling to come...- Aspie@60
