    Does anyone get accused of trying to sound intellectual because you use big words?

    It was, and I was shocked and had no idea how to respond. I think I did say something but only after mom said what she did. As far as getting "worse" I have noticed as I age I find it more and more difficult to try to dumb-down my vocabulary. It's not like I am actually speaking words that are...

    Does anyone get accused of trying to sound intellectual because you use big words?

    Yes, I have been ridiculed for the words I use. I was in the ER for some serious pain in my right shoulder. Blood pressure was sky high (a little over 200/a little over 100) yet when the doctor asked about the pain when he first walked in I said it was "excruciating" and he looked put-off and...

    Your first toy

    I can't recall my first toy, but I do remember my favorite toy as a young child. A McDonald's Bambi toy. Oh I loved that one. I was devastated when mom gathered up all of my McD's toys and tossed them when I was a bit older. Even Bambi!!! She apparently had no idea that they could be very...

    An interesting thing I heard

    Hairstyle to me seems to be a major way for me to identify someone. I won't recognize someone if they put their long hair up, or let it down. Or change color drastically, different haircut, etc. It does take me a while to remember who they are after a sudden change like that. I don't know how...

    How Do You Explain To Others What Aspergers Is?

    I am self-diagnosed, and only very recently. I have tried to tell mom and dad about it and dad understands, probably because he likely has it, too, but mom doesn't seem interested in learning about it, nor acknowledging I/we have it. But I finally feel like I have an answer as to why I am the...

    Judgement Issues

    I tend to do that, too. It's hard to force myself to do what I feel is right instead of what I want to do or what others want me to do.

    An interesting thing I heard

    I definitely have this problem. I do not recognize people I see only on occasion unless we were very close and saw a lot of each other. When people change their hair I have trouble let knowing who they are as well. Mom and dad I don't have a problem recognizing but acquaintances and others I see...

    Hi from AspieSong.

    Welcome, aspiesong, I am sorry to hear of your wife's passing. You have my condolences. I think it's wonderful that you are in 3 choirs and have found some people that you talk with on occasion. I think that keeping somewhat busy helps to help heal your heart and brain when stressful things...

    Hello, from Nevada :)

    Thanks, Vanilla. I appreciate it. I'll read more in the forum and then maybe strike up a conversation about it and see if anyone has any hints as to how they helped themselves find who they are.

    Hello, from Nevada :)

    My name is Brittany and I am 29 years old, female, shy and confused by life. I thought by now I would find who I am (isn't that what everyone does?) and I just haven't. I seem to have no real identity other than my name, age and other typical statistics. I am definitely routine-oriented, very...
