    How Aspies find comfort

    The number one thing that calms me is my husband. Just touching him calms me almost immediately. It is like what Rose does for Lyssa in the vampire academy books (weird, obscure reference, but it describes it perfectly). He doesn't have to say or do anything, it's just his presence. Research...

    when to tell someone tell you have aspergers

    When I first started learning about Aspergers, I told my husband, my kids, my sister, and my parents because I was so excited. My husband said, "You just want something to explain why you are the way you are." (DUH!!! That's why I'm so excited you idiot!). He has actually come around, though...

    What are your sensory issues?

    I'm sensitive to loud or persistent noises, bright lights, food smells, and the cold. I cannot stand for a person to talk constantly. I occasionally have to tell me daughter to just stop talking. It makes me feel violent. I have to leave places often because too many people are talking at...

    Random Headaches?

    I get migraines when I have to be in a social situation. I get so stressed just thinking about it that I get a migraine and therefore can't participate in the social situation. I know that my mom thinks I'm faking a headache to get out of the situation, but she's wrong.

    Looking a lot younger?

    I'm 33 and people rarely believe me. Most people assume I'm about 25. It really throws them when they find out that I have a 15 year old son.

    What if?

    There is a good book called Misquoting Jesus that may help you answer some of your questions. It pretty much confirmed what I thought about the Bible. It mostly talks about changes that were made (both intentionally and accidentally) as the Bible was transcribed.

    What do you think is the biggest roadblock for your potential career?

    My biggest problem is my social skills. I have an accounting degree, but, like Geordie, I don't really like it. I am not mentally stimulated doing accounting tasks. I have a job now at a really great company, but I'm technically a temporary employee. The only reason that I got this job is...

    Hello

    I've very rarely had problems with doctors. Only my current one and one who I had when i was younger have been problematic and wouldn't work with me. My current one because he is a pill pusher, the other one because he was extremely religious. I don't think a diagnosis could hurt me. Anyone...

    Do You Believe In God?

    I'm not really sure. I was raised in a very religious (Baptist) household, but I could never make myself believe the stuff that they wanted me to believe. It seems highly illogical that the bible could be the actual word of God as they say it is. Also, if, as they say, God loves us so much...

    Interpreting Things Literally

    My kids (10 and 15 years old) are very literal when it comes to approximations of numbers, such as "couple" or "few." According to them a couple is two, a few is three, and several is four. I have no idea where they learned that. I've always heard that a couple is two, but nothing about...

    Hello

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I will probably seek a diagnosis once I've been in my job a little while and find a new doctor. I haven't been on this job very long and it is, by far, the best job I've ever had.

    Interpreting Things Literally

    This thread has made me literally laugh out loud many times. I often have trouble with interpreting what a person is saying. I don't mean things like idioms and I can usually get sarcasm. What usually gets me is grammatical errors and imprecise language. Grammatical errors don't really make...

    Creepy acquaintainces & strange people

    Several years ago I had a friend that I worked with. I had assumed from the moment that I met her that she was a lesbian, but she was always talking about guys she liked and guys she had dated, so I figured I had misjudged. After we had been friends for a few months she told me that she had...

    Hello

    Hello. I'm Laura. I've just started learning about Aspbergers and other ASDs within the last few months and I think I've finally found a place where I fit. Most everything I read has me thinking, "Wow, so I'm not the only person who does that!" I'm actually very excited about this as I've spent...
