    what's the opposite word to 'suffering'?

    I don't understand the 4D analogy at all. If anything, people on the spectrum see in 3D and neurotypicals see in 4D (the 4th dimension being "the social dimension").

    Early Diagnosis

    8 months is too early to diagnose aspergers, but if you're looking for symptoms... - Doesn't make eye contact - Delayed language development - Doesn't imitate your expressions (smile when smiled at) - Doesn't respond to cuddling - "Rag doll" - when she is lifted her head and limbs kinda just...

    Habit of self critacism

    This is not exactly the same thing, or maybe just an extreme form of it... But w/e, here i go... I have a habit of saying certain phrases or words when I'm anxious... The phrases are self-critical and/or coprolalic and/or suicidal, and the content doesn't necessarily have to have any relation...

    Does my mom have Aspergers?

    Re: Do you think my mom has Asperger's? Those things sound kind of aspie, but I can't say for sure... She clearly has issues... Regarding your brother, you can't grow out of it. Either he's learned to mask it or he wasn't on the spectrum to begin with.

    Face Blindness - What is Face Blindness or Prosopagnosia in Autism

    Re: http://autism.about.com/od/SymptomsofAutism/f/What-Is-Face-Blindness-Prosopagnosi I think I might have a mild case of this. I had difficulties differentiating between some people (that others claimed looked nothing alike) at the place I work when I first started. I also once had a hard time...

    PDoc says I don't have it because I was crying.

    You should ask him to read up on the subject, because clearly he doesn't know anything.

    What are your stims?

    Scratching my balls for long time, then later the skin becomes scaly and I pick it off. TMI?

    I feel like I'm not getting along with this girl at my church. Any tips?

    I don't really see how people can call her snobby based on what he wrote... "Why, are you scared?" sounds more like a (bad) joke than anything malicious. And as for you asking her how she wanted you to push the chairs in, I'm not sure I understand. Do you really need instructions in how to push...

    top 10 reasons to be proud of your autism

    2. People on the Autism Spectrum Live in the Moment I'd say it is the opposite. Heavy reliance on routines and planning, we don't handle unexpected change well. 3. People with Autism Rarely Judge Others I'm not sure I understand this, but from my point of view that is impossible. As people...

    what is your stim?

    Mouth related stims: Putting my teeth very close to each other, then when I walk they automatically touch and create a sort of rhythm. Pushing saliva out of the mouth and sucking it in again (rarely/never do this anymore) Polishing my teeth with tongue Biting stuff (lips, pens, headphone wires...

    Social Networks (Your likes and/or dislikes?)

    I didn't feel like I needed it when I was in school, because I already got enough social interaction. Now I don't have any friends so I can't add anyone...

    Being yelled at for food preferences @ work

    Did you ask to get a new pizza, without paying for it? Because I can see why they'd be unwilling to give you a new one just because it wasn't perfectly round. Still, that woman's behavior is clearly unacceptable. If confronting someone about it is hard you could send an anonymous letter... In...
