    Does anybody else pace around in circles?

    I pace a lot. Which leads to walking in circles or the same pattern over and over. I do it while thinking, anxious, or waiting on people. Cause I can't wait patiently. And then if they are late, I go into extreme pace mode with some of my hand motion stims.

    Can anyone else relate?

    This is a poem I came across. And I relate to it very much. It is how I feel when plans change, or major things change in my life. Does anyone else relate? Change by Wendy Lawson Change, change and more change Of context, place and time Why is it that life's transient stage Plays havoc with my...

    Befriending people with other neurological conditions

    I have a friend who is an aspie and schizophrenic. Also a friend with dissociative identity disorder. And a few others who have different mixes. My girlfriend has DID and may be on the spectrum, or not. I have no clue. Lol. I'm 99% sure that I am on the spectrum. And also have PTSD. I accept...

    Any advice?

    Thank you very much! Yeah I just want to talk about being transgender, and then about being on the spectrum. Or the very good possibility. Since I cannot afford a formal diagnosis and have no insurance. I am just struggling with how to go about it. And I'm nervous. So my brain is all mush kind...

    Any advice?

    This may be the wrong place to post this. But I am new, and would just like some input? I decided to start making videos. About things relating to being on the spectrum, and being transgender. I just was wondering if there are any things you all would like to see covered in a video? This is a...

    What Are Your Triggers?

    I have a few triggers. Actually also diagnosed with PTSD. Someone touching me, even lightly, when not called for. Especially with men. Yelling, extreme anger. Change of plans, this is big. People bailing out completely on me, and waiting until well after the scheduled time. Suicide threats...

    Masks

    I also work in the customer service area. If I cannot avoid working cash registers(I am mainly in the back, unloading), I go into a bit of a panic, then I just act. I still can't do eye contact, but I am nice, and most people are nice back. If only I could stay in the back and listen to music...

    A new AQ-test by Newsweek?

    I scored a 42. I am currently unable to get an official diagnosis. Not much money, and no insurance. I just have a low income therapist who cannot diagnose AS. And since I am transgender, born female, sometimes I show more characteristics of women with Aspergers. I'm just all over the place.

    Things only you would get upset about

    The one that that is really upsetting to me at the moment, is when someone says to call if you need someone to talk to. Yet never pick up or call back. I hate calling, but some people don't text. It upsets me, because then I think I messed up. Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I'm upset at...

    Hearing things that are not there

    I always hear my name when I am in louder places. I always turn around, and my friends always just stare at me. Lol. I also think I hear my phone all the time, even though I know it's on silent. I mix up sounds sometimes. And also when not concentrating on a conversation I hear the wrong thing...

    The Underemployment and Unemployment Thread

    I am currently unemployed. But I'm selling paintings until I get in gear to work again. I was a delivery driver for Pizza Hut. For 3 years. It finally got the best of me. Inside was fine cause it was repetition. But the driving and worrying about times made me rage out on the road. I had many...

    Your relationship status?

    I should say so. My relationship is very new still. So we just see each other a few times a week. I'm just trying to figure all this out that I've just realized with myself. He has some things to work through on his own, but we understand where the other is coming from and accept faults. I try...

    Your relationship status?

    Haha, yep Kansas it is but I do have family in LA. So that's the closest I will get. XD but I agree very much. Humor I prefer over drama. Another thing I enjoy about my boy, is he loves to talk. So he takes over the social part with friends. But one on one I am able to open up and he likes the...

    Your relationship status?

    Yeah. Lol. If I initiate the change I'm fine. But if plans that were made days in advance change or fall through, I have to go on a walk to calm down so I don't throw a fit. XD it's always been an issue but now I'm trying to find ways to cope with it.
