    Memory - short term and long term

    Hey all, I am interested in hearing what everyones memory is like as supposedly, for those on the spectrum, we have bad short term but good long term. This is definitely true for me as i barely remember yesterday unless i sit and really think about it. But i have memories from back when i was...

    Social Limit

    For the past few days i have been doing fairly well with the decision i made in my last post. Work seems more bearable, even some of the parents and teachers seem to be more comfortable around me. Meaning they are actually trying to engage me in conversation rather than ignore me, and i have...

    Thoughts of becoming mute

    Emptying my head

    Thanks for all the comments. Firstly, i work as an oshc educator (outside school hours care), so my hours are usually 2 - 3hrs in the morning and 3 - 4hrs in the afternoon. I find that between those hours i am essentially 'recharging' from the morning shift and preparing for the afternoon...

    Emptying my head

    Hi all, I have recently been unofficially diagnosed with being on the spectrum by a specialist at the late age of 23. I say unofficially as I did one of those tests with a professional which came back with definite symptoms, but its not someone who can officially diagnose me. I am here because...
