    Not sure how to be a good Mum to a girl with aspie..

    Which symptoms have you observed specifically? And does your daughter agree that she exhibits those symptoms and/or share your belief that she might be autistic? (I'm aware that might be a little difficult to assess at that age, but I'm just asking for a little bit more context.) Either way...

    Video games that scare you?

    Minecraft Beta, back when darkness was still a thing and you didn't know what was lurking in the dark, health regeneration wasn't a thing, and creepers didn't stop walking when they were about to explode. I've once put all my valuable items in a chest and set out to explore a dark cave with...

    Feeling burnout, regret, and helplessness when dealing with my studies

    There is such thing as a “vacation semester” that you can take, however you have to provide a reason as to why you would like to take it (such as an illness that needs treatment, volunteer work, an internship, etc.). I've been thinking about picking up some volunteer work specifically for that...

    Feeling burnout, regret, and helplessness when dealing with my studies

    Well, I sure hope so. I must admit that when I was in school I'd often find myself in situations that seemed inescapable, only for them to not look so bad in the rear mirror once I had managed to pull through. But still, the fact that I went from doing amazing to struggling to get by, and it...

    What's YOUR definition of disability?

    I actually really like this model. Initially, I'd argue that any condition that affects your abilities in a negative way would be a disability, but that would include myopia, yet people aren't seen as disabled when they're short-sighted (if only because we've got glasses that fix it). Your...

    Feeling burnout, regret, and helplessness when dealing with my studies

    I honestly don't know how things would have played out if I hadn't listened to my parents at the end of my first semester. I didn't want to spark a conflict between me and my parents since I knew it would have affected my studies, but at the end of the third semester, it happened anyway. Maybe...

    Feeling burnout, regret, and helplessness when dealing with my studies

    I definitely believe that their ideas were meant well, but the second, it becomes more important for them to get their way than to actually help me (or even themselves - considering that their decisions have harmed our family business as well), all that goes out the window. Either way, that's...

    Feeling burnout, regret, and helplessness when dealing with my studies

    Hello, I'm somewhat new here. I have visited this forum before, but have only read other people's threads and have never made my own account, but decided to make one to create this thread, so here we go. This may be somewhat of a lengthier story, but I think it's necessary to know the context...

    I love affection and intimacy - can I still be aspie?

    I hated physical contact when I was a child, to the point where I'd once push away my little sister when she tried to hug me, which in hindsight was actually quite sad. Things changed when I was 17, though. Our school had us take a “social internship” and I chose to take it at my childhood...
