    Unhealthy "Aspies"

    Yes. It does complicate things. My family doesn't believe I'm male, and attributes me feeling male to my hormones being out of balance. (Studies have proven that current hormones do not change gender identity.) My mother thinks that me being male is a side-effect of bipolar disorder as does my...

    Unhealthy "Aspies"

    Yes. What I'm confused about is how being transgender is a medical issue?

    Unhealthy "Aspies"

    I'm sorry, what do you mean?

    Unhealthy "Aspies"

    I understood your intentions. The problem is, while I'm well-aware that I hinted very strongly that I'm female-bodied here, it's still a bit impolite to ask someone in the middle of a thread if their gender is correct. Not only is it humiliating for someone who really did make a mistake, it's...

    Unhealthy "Aspies"

    Yes. I'm transgender. I just haven't been able to transition yet due to family issues and my bleeding issues. I'm also not entirely open about it offline yet. Gender is different from sex. My gender is male. My sex is female.

    Unhealthy "Aspies"

    I am the first, that I know of, to be autistic and have bipolar. I'm also the first to have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I'm not the first when it comes to the others. My mother suffers from allergies and mild asthma. My dad has ADHD and my mom has anxiety. Also, both my parents have type 2...

    Unhealthy "Aspies"

    This thread may get graphic, so if you don't like TMI, stay away from this thread! I'm going to start by saying I'm not too physically healthy for a 27 year old. I have a lot of invisible illnesses, that are sometimes life-altering. For example, I have a number of other psychological illnesses...

    Being Sensitive to Sensitive Issues

    Fair warning, this may be a heated topic. I hope we'll all behave! Staff, feel free to clear this thread or lock it if it gets out of hand. I won't mind. Also know that I mean no offense in writing what I'm about to write! I just want to know others' experiences. Anyway! I'm very insensitive...

    Aspie Police Officers?

    I think it depends on the person and depends on the symptoms. However, generally speaking, autistic individuals are more easily overwhelmed by high stress and change, and being a police officer would be a career filled with just that. While I'd personally love to be a police officer, in reality...

    Describe your anxiety.

    My anxiety can show up in two ways: 1. Normally, my anxiety manifests as almost hyperactivity. I will have an overwhelming amount of energy that I have to release, If I am unable (for whatever reason) to stim in a way that releases this energy (such as swinging), or if it's more classic...

    New here!

    Welcome to Aspies Central, Sweetpea2! One of my interests happens to be the medical field, so I find it really neat that you're a nurse. My cousin is a third year medical student, and I have always wanted to be a doctor. I'm just not sure I can do it with all my diagnoses getting in the way. :(...

    Hey

    Welcome, Storm! I wouldn't trust an online test to "diagnose" you with autism. I would be more inclined to listen to your friends than a test, and even more inclined to listen to a therapist or psychiatrist than your friends. I'm sure that, nevertheless, we can help you out here! Feel free to...

    Animalistic Instincts

    So, pretty much all my life I've been very...animal. I'm prone to growling, snorting, whimpering, swiping when threatened, kneading, holding my arms at my sides in a dangling "puppy-like" position, and much, much more. Is this common with autism? Or is this something more akin to something else?

    Do you stim more when tired?

    I've noticed that while some of my stims are done when I'm feeling over-excited or overwhelmed, some are done when I'm tired or tired and anxious. For example, when I'm tired, I'm more prone to vocal stimming. What about you?

    Weighted Plush

    Does anyone else here have any weighted plush? How much do they weigh? What do you think of your weighted plush? Does it help to relax you? If so, what does that relaxation feel like? Do you believe there's a reason behind this, aside from weighted therapy products supposedly being helpful for...
