    Asperger's and the UK SEN system

    Lydia, I am from the US. I have HFA and so does my son. I have had to fight for his education. I am glad I was diagnosed after I was put of school. If you would like someone from the US who is obviously HFA and it was not caught, I can help you there.

    Hello

    Hello Ollie. We all deal with our unique issues differently. Cognitive behavioral therapy and vitamin b 12 has worked for me. However it won't work for everyone. You are not doomed to live your life through headphones but you may have to find another way to deal with it. Sorry I could not...

    I have questions for Aspies.

    I have empathy to a certain extent. If someone does a stupid thing and something bad happens, no empathy. If something unfortunate happens to someone, I will have empathy. I may not express it. For the person with psychopathy, do you also have narcissism? A friend of mine is a therapist and...

    Dating a NT person

    We do handheld in private. We can be affectionate in private but I do not want him laying on me. I mean that literally. He will put as much of his body on me as he can if I would let him. I am not offended but flabbergasted because he is fine and acknowledges his autistic cousin's meltdowns...

    Dating a NT person

    I guess help was the wrong word to use. I want alternative theories. My ground rules are no, zero, PDA. No, he advances and if he is overly touchy, I let him know. As for alternative rules, I am still trying to get him to understand that so much touching is like electric shocks to me...

    Dating a NT person

    So I am dating a NT guy. We have been together for a little over a year, still early in the relationship. However, we are having some issues. From jump, I was honest about my diagnosis. I have Asperger's but it was changed to HFA when the DSM changed. His cousin has autism as well but is...

    Asperger's and Misanthropy

    I cannot say whether or not I am misanthropic. I can say that I prefer time to myself to analyze and decode NT's actions. I believe that the reason that we do not get along well with NT'S is that we do not understand them. They speak a language that is ripe with pitfalls and holes you can...

    Are there textures you can't bear to touch?

    I cannot stand the texture of watermelon. And as for sounds opening a salt container makes me want to run and hide.

    Should you tell a girlfriend/boyfriend that you have aspergers?

    I typically tell people when I realize that it is going somewhere. I usually tell them before the first date because I do not want to go to somewhere loud or incredibly bright. Trying to hide stims when you are in sensory overload is like trying to convince people that the sky is yellow. It...

    whats your bedroom like

    My bedroom has a double bed with weighted blankets. All of my blankets and furniture are dark grey or black. I have my desktop and my laptop in there. I have a tiered nightstand by my bed and usually my cat who also happens to be black and white. I have light dampening curtains and shades on...

    what was your pre-ASD diagnosis?

    Let me be clear, I was generalizing. I do not think all women are crazy. I think that we all have the hormone imbalance. However, that being said, there are ready women whose hormones turn them into angry people. I will say that the week before and the week after my periods, I was more...

    what was your pre-ASD diagnosis?

    All women have this because of the cycle their body goes throguh. There is only one week a month where everything is in balance. And now I don't have this any more because due to physical issues, I had a full hysterectomy. Technically, I do have ptsd and that is something wrong but I do not...
