    Favorite Shape?

    What's your favorite shape and why is it y our favorite shape? Mine is the spiral: because of this: "Unlike circles, which you can trace over and over and always end up in the same spot, spirals are ever-changing. They continue to loop outward as they progress, so you’ll never end up in the...

    Jobs sometimes suck

    I work in an office with all disabled people--as an advocacy person. I love my job. There are accomodations, I feel what I'm doing is meaningful and I like the people there. My boss and program director yesterday called me in for a"feedback session". They told me I'm being put on a...

    Sarcasm

    I finally figured out sarcasm! I think in the past people were being sarcastic to me and I didn't realize it--not always but sometimes. But I figured out how it works and it always is funny, at least to me...all you have to do is say the exact opposite of what is true. For instance, you go to...

    Are you treated differently

    At jobs I usually get fired or asked to resign for social or organizational reasons, even though I try. My job right now is the best because nearly everyone working there is disabled in some way. It's still confusing socially because I think I am treated differently, and the other person there...

    Selective mutism

    Anyone have experience with selective mutism? There are times for me where it is nearly or completely impossible to talk. I can remember as a young person how it was to be constantly expected to have conversations, while I was basically petrified and when not petrified just very very confused...

    What do you do on repeat?

    Anybody find it comforting and entrancing to repeat things you love? I watch the same movie at times nearly every day; listen to the same song for hours. They will end and come to a conclusion and I just start at the beginning again. At times I'll watch the same scene until I practically...

    What?

    This is my life: "I am missing a shoe. Where did I leave it? What was I just looking for? My glasses? My phone. Oh. right, I'm looking for my shoe. How could a person lose a single shoe? What did I come in here to get? Is it time for lunch? Oh I know, I was looking for some socks. I'm...

    Complexity

    Does it seem like autism is a life of complexity, including for people who found out later in life. Whatever I do think or say feels complex. Going down the road is complex. Eating is very complex. Relationships are profoundly complex. Talking is complex. Going out for dinner: complex...

    I've been dating a woman around six months now, (I am female non binary)and disclosed pretty early that I'm autistic. I really like her and everything is good. But she shared it scared her that I'm autistic. Recently I was searching online, and suddenly I had unintentional access to her...

    Final new year's post

    I appear to be binge posting today. I'm a bi female and have been dating a neuro atypical woman. I Really relate to her her, and I don't relate to very many people, and there are even fewer I'm comfortable with. She is smart, hilarious, caring and is great at show tunes. This is the thang...

    Autism People

    I hope people don't take this wrong, but it's new years and I hope this doesn't come off too strong, but I wanted to just say that I truly love autistic people. I have never been around neurotypicals who are involved in so many profound discussions, who are so caring and forthcoming and funny...

    Being Disliked

    I keep reading about how many autistic people are disliked, and I feel like a dufus but at 58 years old I remain at times terrified of being disliked, and it can make developing friendships nearly impossible because I am so focused on how others feel about me. At times it's painful: I have had...

    Driving

    Was wondering if people here have challenges with driving. As time goes by it gets harder and even though some people say it's in my head. I believe it's a sensory issue--I don't have a problem when there isn't an open horizon, and I think it's because visually things appear to be going slower...

    Volunteering: My Experiences

    I just started yesterday at a volunteer position and in the past have had social issues when I work, even to the point of getting fired or asked to resign. I was asked to sit in on a meeting and then to spend time talking to the staff and finding out what they do, and once again the social part...

    Tremor

    I don't know if this is an aut thing but for my whole life I have a tremor. My hands shake both when iI'm alone and when around people, but it's a pro lem because it's so tough to type, and around other people when around others it's hard just to get a spoon. In my mouth and I'm always...

    Rejection...again

    It's been a week of rejection. I've been trying to get out there because I am tired of loneliness, but it often seems just about no one wants me around. First, I made plans with a woman for lunch for the second time she didn't show up or even call. I sat there for 30 minutes. Nothing. Then...

    Talking, conversations--they are so difficult

    Having conversations, talking, sharing thoughts are nearly impossible in most circumstances for me several reasons: often I find myself, when around others even that I know well, unable to have the most rudimentary conversations. For one thing, I rarely know what people are physically...
