    Are you an eccentric?

    Interestingly for me, my father, who vehemently denies the notion of me being autistic, describes me as eccentric all the time. Which is kind of amusing as some of the descriptors for eccentricity definitely overlap with some autistic traits. As for myself, I'm not sure I would describe myself...

    Misophonia and Aspies?

    I can completely relate to this! My siblings are both home from university at the moment and they both have colds. Now I have sniffing and sneezing in stereo sound and I cannot bear it. My sister eats very noisily and I have to sit next to her at meal times. I tell her to stop it but just get...

    So it is me again! Does anyone find it pretty impossible to ask for things?

    I do exactly the same thing as you. I find it extremely difficult and embarrassing to ask for help. My friends ask me for help and I do what I can to help them but I find it difficult to ask them in return. I can't bear it when a teacher realises that I need help. I fear being given extra...

    Imitation Game + Alan Turing

    I have just found this article ( The Imitation Game: Fact and Fiction | The Adventures of Mr PJ Evans ) which compares the events of the film to what actually happened at Bletchley at the time. It's very well written and there is further reading at the end which is always good.

    Imitation Game + Alan Turing

    I thought exactly the same thing while watching the film. I really enjoyed the film and thought it was extremely well made. Alan Turing and cryptography are one of my special interests so I enjoyed it even more. I also noticed all of the typical tendencies associated with Aspergers. However...

    Silent echolalia?

    English is my native language but I have been learning Russian for many years now. Пчел́a of my favourite words because of the way it sounds and what it means. I like bees. Kурица is a good word for repeating too. It's normally just foreign words that I repeat in my head actually, either Russian...

    Silent echolalia?

    I do exactly the same thing. I am very anxious at the moment for various reasons and I have the Russian word пчел́a going round and round in my head and have had for the past few days. I also say it aloud sometimes by accident, though never very loudly. I think I use it as a form of stimming...

    The one thing you can just do which nobody understands...

    I love music and I always have done.. I practice for several hours a day despite having quite a large amount of other work to do and I also enjoy learning about music theory because of the logic behind it. Now I'm studying music at a high level and take theory clases with other people, they...

    How close are your friendships

    I hug and sit extremely close to my best friend all the time. She often plays with my hair because it's really curly, which I do not mind because she always asks first and I know what to expect. She puts my arm in hers when we go out because she knows I can get a bit distracted/ overwhelmed and...

    I want to help my friend but I don't know how...

    My friend has just been diagnosed with depression and is having a really terrible time at the moment. We have been friends for five years now and I care about them a lot but I just don't know how to comfort them when they panic or get anxious. We have discussed in the past what we should do when...

    Hey

    It is very possible that my father could have adapted to fit in. Especially as it would have been very unlikely for someone to be diagnosed with AS back when my father was a child unless it was very obvious. I can relate to your shyness and preference to being alone. My sister is visiting at...

    Hey

    Hello, Thank you. I didn't know that. I haven't read about that yet but I intend to. My father does have some traits that could be associated with AS but has the attitude of a stereotypical NT person and doesn't consider himself to be on the spectrum at all.

    Hey

    Hello, Thank you for taking the time to reply. I understand what you mean. I sometimes have trouble understanding what my friends are going through in terms of relationships. For instance, my friend recently broke up with her boyfriend and was very upset for weeks afterwards and I comforted...

    Hey

    Hi, yes I am. Everyone is being very kind.

    Hey

    Hello, Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I sometimes have trouble trying to get out want I want to say when I am speaking. It's difficult for me to get the point across, especially if I am talking about something that I am nervous about bringing up in conversation or just really enthusiastic...
