    Being awkward

    Narcissist? Sociopath? Just a total jerk? No worries now these traits are socially acceptable. You should have no problem making friends, being popular even. But god forbid that you should be awkward. Having such a personality will result in ostracism and isolation by both peers and family.

    Ever feel like hard things are easy for you but easy things are really hard?

    Unfortunately computers and technology are things that I really struggle with. Anything that I have to remember a series of steps and do them in order is difficult. It's why I was always terrible at math. If I could do that better it would really help me at any job. I wish I could even remember...

    Do you believe in the possibility of a neuro-diverse renaissance?

    Because it is a spectrum it means that people don't necessarily have or not have autistic traits. ASD is becoming more common. The more people there are on the spectrum also means there are going to be more people in the who are not on the spectrum but have a lot of autistic traits. I think it...

    Ever feel like hard things are easy for you but easy things are really hard?

    Does anyone else ever feel like despite being very intelligent and "book smart" that it is the simple things that you struggle with? My cognitive ability far outweighs my ability to actually do anything. I have a bachelors degree and did well in school, but have had a hard time with learning how...

    How old were when you got your Asperger's diagnosis?

    Mary since you still seem to want our advice, if you really want to help your nephew then quit going on and on about everything you think is wrong with your sister in law. She is his mother and that is certainly not going to help him. You and this woman do have at least one thing in common, you...

    How old were when you got your Asperger's diagnosis?

    My understanding is that this is a site for people with Autism spectrum disorders, and NTs who want to understand so that they can have better relationships with the people in their lives. Had you a different attitude and came here out of genuine caring and wanting to help someone I'm sure there...

    How old were when you got your Asperger's diagnosis?

    So you pretty much think your like a sober person going to an NA meeting to ***** about how some addict or addicts have ruined your life, because we all need to see how our autistic behaviors are affecting the NT's around us? It's not a lifestyle choice sweetie. Actually going and posting on a...

    Looking for some advice re: homeschooling

    Sending her to school makes no guarantee she won't be isolated or that she will learn how to get along socially. I spent elementary standing alone in a corner for recess and being tormented by the other kids. I was miserable. I wished to be home schooled. I still think it may have been better...

    Looking for some advice re: homeschooling

    What is so frustrating is that the very people who know what HFA is, and know how subtle the signs can be compared to LFA will say that. That they know that people with HFA/ aspergers can have very high verbal abilities yet that is the reason he has no IEP or diagnosis.

    Looking for some advice re: homeschooling

    I'm a self diagnosed aspie. I have a four year old son who we are currently trying to get diagnosed so that we can figure out how to move forward with school. He was not able to attend preschool because of his behavior and we are going to another place just for children but so far it seems I'm...

    A higher spiritual truth to autism?

    As a spiritual person I recognize that my beliefs are subjective. That said I also believe that those who deeply pursue knowledge of the universe and the meaning of existence can find truth. That pursuit requires an understanding of both spiritual and scientific. I notice patterns and...

    You might be an Aspie/Autie if?/Jokes

    You have trouble keeping your house clean and organized but you insist that the silverware and dishes always be put in the exact same places. You always realize that you said or did something odd in a social situation hours later after analyzing it in your mind. Sometimes even the most simple...

    A higher spiritual truth to autism?

    English and Spanish version - Pierre-André Pelletier Has anyone else ever read this? I am spiritual but not religious and I found this a bit sappy and overly religious, but intriguing. Especially when he talks about aspies being aware of the subtle planes. For as long as I can remember I have...

    I Took A Stand For Us- I think?

    Is there somewhere else you could exercise besides the gym? Maybe a trail to walk on. Have you ever tried swimming? I hate gyms and have avoided them altogether by finding different things to do for exercise that are in a peaceful environment. I also have some weights, a mini trampoline, and a...

    I Took A Stand For Us- I think?

    I agree why do they need to blast the music when everyone has and ipod? I think you made a good point that might bother NT people and everyone else too. Maybe if nothing happens you could make a petition to have other gym members sign if they want the gym.
