    Are you Childfree?

    I'm only 15, but have been thinking about my future a lot lately, and I actually want kids. I love helping with babies and toddlers at my church and babysitting. I love kids, which I guess is weird for an Aspie...

    What kind of support did you get while growning up/now?

    I was diagnosed about 5 years ago, when I turned 10 which is also the year we decided to start homeschooling me. I've had an EA every year to help with my school and a BI and at one point had a speech therapist and an OT. I'm doing a lot better now though so I just have my EA. A lot of my school...

    Feeling or Acting Younger ??

    I'm a bit younger than the rest of you guys who have posted already... but I'm 15 and act like I'm MUCH younger. I still love LEGO, have a collection of 72 colouring books (the collection is still growing), and lots more! I don't do a lot of stuff typical 15 year old girls do... But lots of...

    Irony and sarcasm

    I have always understood both although sometimes I take a bit seriously and then my friends tell me they were being sarcastic! My mom is also, as my friends call her, the Queen of Sarcasm, so I've grown up with it! Once my BI made a sarcastic joke and I responded sarcastically back and she was...

    Do you use sensory toys to manage stress levels?

    I have SO many fidgets. My (prbly...) NT best friend loves them too and I always give him new ones. I have TONS

    Things you enjoy that others typically dislike doing.

    I edit and proofread EVERYTHING. I also have over 70 colouring books... some people say I might have too much but I think i need more!!:laughing: I also LOVE sorting my lego. I have TONS of lego sets that I have repeatedly taken about, sorted in every possible way, and put them back together. I...

    Church and Concentrating

    Ya, my mom takes notes and I have been thinking of trying too... One thing about finding a new church is that we've been going there for probably 7 years and my best friend goes there... We are pretty good friends with the pastors too. Thanks for the ideas everyone!!

    What helps YOU?

    Listening to audiobooks, colouring, playing my piano, singing, video games, meds, my dog, logic puzzles, texting with my friends, researching about anything!!!

    Church and Concentrating

    I've always found it hard to go to church and listen to the sermons... I used to have meltdowns when I was younger just because we had to go. I think part of it is that I can't pay attention AT ALL!!! I usually try to volunteer with the younger kids but the church and my parents won't let me do...

    Friends in primary school

    I used to be drawn to people that didn't have many or any friends and all of the exchange students from different countries. I had friends from India and Korea... It's different now. I'm homeschooled so most of my friends are a lot like me!!

    HI!!!!

    Hi! I'm new! I was diagnosed at 11 and am 15 now. SUPER obvious looking back now!! I love learning about Asperger's and I even wrote a magazine on it for a school project (took a whole year!). I am extremely weird and proud of it! I am a tomboy, but DO NOT look it... I'm homeschooled, just...

    When you were little what were some obvious signs that you had asperger's/autism?

    It is SOOOO obvious looking back! My elementary school principal did suggest it to my parents but they got angry at her!! I never used to actually 'play' with my toys... just sorted them.. Still do! Before my friends would come over, I would set up all my Littlest Pet Shops (I had over 100 of...
