    The Aspiescentral Monthly Poll; July 2014

    A point I'd like to make is just because as Doctor says an individual has aspergers doesn't necessarily make it so. Narcissistic personality disorder could be mistaken for aspergers among many other mental or neurological problems. Perhaps even a co-morbidity of NPD and AS is to blame. It's a...

    Any seasoned android app devs willing to guide my learning VIA online only?

    So I had a random idea recently and I really believe it could produce a very solid and popular app. I am new to app development and require someone with patients to teach me from the ground up while helping to create the app. I am a capable tech savvy learner, provided I'm not forced to learn...

    Aspies and Anger

    I do this as well, frequently misinterpret my wife's frustration as anger, and when someone is angry with me I become angry towards them as I often do not understand what I did to frustrate them so it feels like someone is angry at me for no (or a dumb) reason. When I get angry...leave me...

    Anyone else get excited over cozy spaces?

    Absolutely, I even share in the desire to live remotely in a hollowed out tree stump, complete with a fireplace. Infact, as a child I attempted to run away from home so I could do so. This plays on my self sufficient-ness and my ability to create something useful from nothing. I have my PC setup...

    Forcing your Aspergers son into particpation via sports, clubs etc...the right thing?

    I am now 26 years old, I went undiagnosed so I may differ from a diagnosed child, after my experiences as a child forced into social activites I have developed severe social anxiety and an overall complete lack of interest in being social, I rarely leave my home. I managed to find a wife and...

    Forcing your Aspergers son into particpation via sports, clubs etc...the right thing?

    To answer this I will ask another question. Would you force a child with mild retardation to take a public IQ test? Would you force a child with amputated legs to try and walk publicly? If you answered yes to either you're a cruel person undeserving of such a unique child. I was forced into...

    Autistic Spectrum Disorders and Intellectual Giftedness

    If we're going by intelligence quotient standards my most up to date IQ test score was 132. Four years prior to said test I rolled in at a 126. Supposedly 130+ indicates a gifted mind, I don't place much stock in IQ's regardless. Personally I've always had a knack for mechanical concepts and I...

    Once again I am in the abyss of depression

    I was able to connect with animals when I was young, any pet I had managed to get itself..well..dead....so I just stopped trying with pets. I grew up on a backwoods farm so lots of predators roamed about, it wasn't neglect it was just dumb dogs escaping to chase bobcats and stray/wild dogs. My...

    what are your special gifts?

    This is me also minus the reading, reading makes me feel short of breath for unknow reasons, in general I love repairing anything and creating new things, for instance; my daughter and I built an entire gocart frame and all from mostly scraps when she was aged 5. I even took up blacksmithing for...

    Are you argumentive?

    The point is to educate all the 'normal' folk about the details they sometimes overlook. Plus I get the satisfaction of being right...makes me all warm and fuzzy lol. What I was trying to say earlier is normally I avoid confrontation as well, it is only after someone really gets under my skin...

    Once again I am in the abyss of depression

    I've tried counseling, I rarely tell my wife what's 'bothering' me....when I'm in that chair what needs to be said never does, even when I want it to I juwt can't, I always draw a blank whike the therapist stares at me as if I know what I should talk about. As for your reply King, I would say...

    Once again I am in the abyss of depression

    I finally realized today that its been over 6 months since I've conversed with anyone other than my wife and my mother. I think I can officially say I am friendless once again, mostly thanks to my two newest obsessions. My days have been filled with staring at coins in search of those elusive...

    Newly self-diagnosed 31 year-old female ...

    Welcome!! No one believed me either because I had been covering it up before I realized what I had...but once I found out what Aspergers was I knew for certain I had it. Even now after my diagnosis people think I'm just looking for an 'excuse'. People are idiots!! Theres a forum full of folks...

    Are you argumentive?

    It depends, I would say Yes..I definitely 'enjoy' arguing; well...I enjoy winning and being right. BUT, I will not argue a losing side, when I 'debate' I make sure it's one I can win. MOSTLY THOUGH I avoid talking to people all together, so my arguments are few. Normally I will not speak to...

    Periods of productivity, followed by pathetic depression.

    I go through this sometimes as well. It really looks like Manic states aka Bi-polar (Technically Manic-Depressive Disorder now), it is extremely exhausting to accomplish so much only to fall into 'remission' in cycle after cycle. As far as dealing with it nothing has ever really helped with it...
