    Resuming life

    I have somewhat of a milestone to celebrate. I've been mentally stable and happy for over two months now, and it's been a while since that happened. I've been feeling like myself again and I haven't been myself for a long time. I enjoy life. I am hungry for new things. I enjoy music again. Hell...

    Fanfiction and Writing

    I've been obsessed with fanfiction lately and I've been seriously considering taking the plunge and actually writing fanfiction of my own. I've enjoyed reading fanfics since I was twelve years old but I've not really written much of anything, even though I have a few ideas and concepts. To...

    (To the writers) What do you enjoy the most about writing?

    Personally, I would say that I enjoy; -the fact that it has led to me learning new things, and also it has rekindled an interest in learning in general. Sometimes for a scene I'll have to research into specific areas to make sure that small details are correct. Which has helped me to discover...

    Handwriting issues

    I'm looking into handwriting issues among ASD/Asperger's individuals. This is one of the things, along with sleeping problems that alerted the therapist to look into autism with my son. Here's an interesting paper on the subject...

    The business of writing, from a Level One Autistic point of view

    A year ago I wrote a memoir titled DESERTPHILE: A PERFECTLY SANE MISANTHROPE HIDES IN THE DESERT. I am still looking for a literary agent to represent that manuscript. Is there anyone here who has autism and has written a memoir? If so, how many I get a copy to read? Thank you.

    Cherries and Whipped Cream

    If you had asked me a year ago if I would be in a healthy, committed relationship with someone who both loves and supports me by today's date, my answer would've been a loud no. It's been a long time coming. It still feels a bit like I've made all of this happiness up, like I am still sitting on...

I will probably also go off on tangents regarding the things I am passionate about: books, movies, video games, music, traveling. Thanks for reading in advance, I hope you guys decide to...

    I need your vote

    I’m dating this guy that I’m starting to highly suspect his an aspie too, anyway, that’s not the matter of this thread. He proposed that we should write a science fiction story together. I proposed a dystopian universe and now he’s proposing these two ideas. I can’t decide, so I’m asking for...

    Creating a space to create

    I was about to sit down to write in the dining room table, when I realized: 'this is absurd; I recently bought a beautiful desk and a very comfortable desk in order to write. Why do I feel more comfortable here? This can't be'. I moved almost all the furniture in my living room and dining room...

    Does anyone want to be letter penpals?

    I'd like to get a penpal, and I mean a legit penpal. I've always thought letters were wonderful. Letters have an own unique charm and I'd like to send letters to someone who thinks letters are charming too. I don't really care about age or gender, just as long as it's someone who wants to talk...

    6-word stories

    I keep on reading, every once in a while, that Hemingway invented 6-word stories (the example usually given being "For sale: baby shoes, never worn"). Here are mine, for starters. I'm going for the horror genre: Boss: "Katleya, we need to talk." Wearing dirty shoes on the couch.

    Character Advice

    Here for (as the title would suggest) any advice or thoughts anyone feels like giving. (Posted similarly on wrongplanet, but I'm posting here as well for some more perspectives). I preferred to run this by folks on the spectrum, for the sake of honesty and good taste. I'm developing a character...

    Tips on writing aspie characters?

    I'm diagnosed with asperger myself but I'm still unsure how to write my characters. Right now I'm writing about a girl with aspergers beginning on a School for witches, and befriending other students diagnosed with ADHD, borderline, dyslexia, depression and anxiety. Do any of you have any tips?

    Finding the sweet spots in life.

    I enjoy writing about life and it's bizarre twists and turns. Strive to help others who deal with challenges and battles that many simply don't understand. Sharing my story to help educate others on the spectrum and off. Experiences in life, both good and bad, help shape us into who we are, or...
