    How old were when you got your Asperger's diagnosis?

    I was 46...I am still trying to integrate this knowledge about myself a year and a half later. I would tell her ASAP. Many, many things would not have gone down the way they did had I understood. I could have focused n the gifts and not ben so heavily marked by misunderstanding. It is a good...

    Black-Out tents for Grown Ups or....Ideas?

    Hi, Good Morning all! I was wondering about anyone's experiences with black out tents like Sensahut or hand made versions, particularly for grown ups. I am pretty small-5'4" and just over a hundred lbs, so I am wondering if I would fit in one of the kid ones. Do they even make them adult sized...

    Hi everyone from Aus

    Ever been bullied? What was your best/worst experience?

    Held down, mock raped, choked, slapped and screamed at...girl scout camp, if you can believe it. I asked what rape was and they jumped me.

    Parenting on the spectrum

    I have serious noise sensitivities, too. My son (now 10) understands them and is a very kind and sensitive individual. We work it out. I am his mom, he is my son. We love each other. I can't help but say do it, because he is my greatest joy.

    What Are Your Triggers?

    I share lots of similar triggers as those mentioned above, for example like Bimog said-people walking behind me, especially with clicky shoes. I also hate the sound of car engines and bass pumped out of cars driving around the neighborhood---or stationary bass for that matter. There are certain...

    Repetitive things....rituals...

    I have a lot of rituals, but they are more or less innocuous at this time. When I get stressed sometimes I have to repeat them over and over, or get out of bed to repeat them. We've made our nightly walk out to check the gate (which involves a rhythmic pulling at the latch, looping finger around...

    Aspies and good hearing ?

    Oh Good God, let's smash all The car stereos that boom boom boom. Really drove me up a tree today. But on the plus side, I always am aware when my crow friends stop by for lunch, or when flocks of Bohemian Waxwings land in the plum tree by the studio and I'd hate to loose that sensitivity for...
