    Hello, enchanted forest!

    Hi Ellylldan, Your story reminds me of myself. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago and I remember very well the feeling of everything suddenly making sense. Welcome to our enchanted forest. :) By the way, you have nothing to apologise for, your English is fantastic! I wish I was that fluent...

    Speech As Stim

    Wow, what an amazing post Vanilla. It's taken me some time to process, and I read through the links you provided too. I repeat certain phrases to myself over and over. Some are just words that catch my attention, or that I like the sound of. I once watched a cartoon and it had a phrase in it...

    What is everyone currently doing right now (apart from this forum).

    I'm here avoiding work too. I really should get back to it, or I'll still be working at 10pm tonight. :p If you recommend it, could you let me know the title (or provide a link), I would be quite interested in that. I've been doing a lot of reading on finance / investment recently. :)

    I feel like I lost my bearings

    Some people do feel that if they need to take medication, there is 'something wrong with them'. I can see why your husband would not want to admit he is taking pills again, if it makes him feel like he needs medical help. Some guys really don't like to admit that they are not 'perfect'. Also...

    My six year autistic son refuses to eat - getting desperate

    There are some ideas in this thread that may be worth trying: Eating ( or not) | AspiesCentral.com I note the OP has not posted here since July. I hope she found some solutions for her son.

    Eating ( or not)

    Fantastic news Jamse. :D I didn't expect her to respond this fast. I am glad she has started asking for food and eating a bit more. I hope she continues like this. Do keep us updated.

    Hi I'm a 47 year old woman just been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome

    Hi Lorraine, I was diagnosed a couple of years ago, at 38. Steph and Rocco sum it up beautifully. Initial relief and excitement at finally understanding why. Then a bit of a rollercoaster as you come to terms with it. I think it took me a few months to find my balance again. Being somewhere...

    Aspie or NT? Marriage Poll

    I've been with an NT for 15 years. We've certainly had some moments, but mostly we do manage to meet in the middle. I only got diagnosed a couple of years ago, and things have made a lot more sense since then. I'm really lucky though. He pushes me just enough that I actually get out of the...

    Dress Code

    I love uniforms, as long as they are not the hideous nylon scratchy type (which should be outlawed). My last place of work had poly-cotton shirts with some stretch in them, that were comfortable as soon as you cut out the scratchy labels, and plain black pants (of your own choosing). I loved...

    Eating ( or not)

    I just wanted to highlight this sentence for Jamse, as this really sums it up for me. Yes, when I am feeling strong I can do a lot, even though I know it will cost me in exhaustion later. But routine is like a safe port in a storm for me. To add to what we both said about not making a fuss...

    Dolls obsession

    I turned 40 recently, and although I gave most of my teddy bears to the children's ward at the hospital when I left home at 16, there are a couple I could not bear(!) to part with. Nearly 25 years later, I still have some, and they have travelled around the world with me. I will probably never...
