    Welcome. I’m glad you are here. There’s a bunch of us who were either diagnosed or figured out late in life, even much older than you.

    How to tell someone off when they comment your behaviour?

    Having just gone through a stressful time during which I watched a lot of videos to keep my mind from veering off into yukky places, I am amazed at how often presumably NT people do not answer direct questions. Here are some of the examples I have observed. Person 1: nasty or insinuating...

    hi im new

    Welcome. It’s good to get someone with experience growing up in aa school system knowing their diagnosis. How are you finding school? Public or private or home schooled? Were you able to access the services you needed?

    Northern lights anybody?

    I am in south Florida and thought I was out of it. Turns out someone took pictures in a nearby town. Darn it. But, they claim Sunday night could be an even better display than Saturday, (but not Friday, which was the best.) So I'll be out Sunday night/Monday morning to see if I can see any...

They will insist you get up at a certain hour, take a shower, go to a day program or to work. You must have a “meaningful daytime activity.”...

    Is this what you call "mock arguing"?

    This describes me STILL. I have been this way all my life. The most current example is: my doctor wants to change a medication. I keep asking questions about the change because I have to understand the WHY while she just wants me to do what I’ve been told.

    Bleach splash

    I read the topic as “beach splash” and thought it was going to be about a party at the sea shore. Yes. I have ruined clothes I was wearing when I used bleach. I am a slow learner, but I ruin enough clothes so now I do change my clothes before using bleach. I don’t use it for laundry. But I do...

    Pros and cons of teaching at university

    I did some university teaching and I loved it. I loved watching students struggle with something and then “get it’ with my help. I mostly taught in community colleges, courses that were tough for that level, such as Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology, but were required for nursing...

    Shocking news and mind feels confused

    I have 4 siblings and there has been a lot of tension, drama and no communication in a variety of ways. I am only in regular and friendly contact with one brother. Here is a story to share: Out of the blue (as in no contact for decades, no animosity just fell out of touch) I got a call from a...

    There are anti-trust and anti-corruption laws here, but they rarely seem to be enforced.
