My main stressor in life has always been having to live with other people. I'm far from being some kind of hateful weirdo (although 'weirdo' is subjective), but some of us are just not meant to live with other people, which can mean absolute hell if you're not exactly well off financially and...

I went to an Aspie meetup the other day in my town and they told me it's not worth it getting diagnosed! I feel like an Aspie but still struggling to understand whether I fit the criteria. Obviously, there are some criteria that I don't fit. Does it mean that I don't belong here? Probably not. I...

So I've had selective mutism for several years now. For any of you who don't know what that is, it's where you only talk to certain people; in my case, those people were my mum and a few close friends I've made in recent years. I used to talk, until bad things started happening in school that I...

I am a self-diagnosed aspie, and was raised with no knowledge of the possibility that i have it until probably a little over a year ago. My parents, although great parents...i've always felt like they instantaneously love me a lot less, if not hate me altogether, the moment anything is wrong...

I'm fairly certain that one of the new employees at my workplace has AS, so I've been thinking about it in relation to myself lately. Today, I've mostly been thinking about how sensitive i am to sound. For as long as i can remember everyone around me has always commented on how low i keep the...

Why the Myers-Briggs test is totally meaningless Actual data tells psychologists that these traits do not have a bimodal distribution. Tracking a group of people's interactions with others, for instance, shows that as Jung noted, there aren't really pure extroverts and introverts, but mostly...

Apparently, this site (aspergerstestsite.com), says that there won't be any diagnosis called AS anymore. That was back in May of last year. So, I'm confused. What will it be called then, or what is it called now? :confused: For the whole story, you can go to that site I mentioned above.

When one of my half-sisters was small, she would communicate ignorance by saying "I just can't know" instead of "I just don't know." That memory just popped into my head as I opened this blank blog entry to post about something that just occurred to me: I just can't care about other people's...

My 20 year old, multiple-disabled son will be taking the first large step in helping to put together an Autistic community within an already existing community. He has the down payment [from pooper-scooping, dogwalking, collecting cans from fields,etc.] from saving since he was nine years old[...

One of the many intentions for AutHaven was to provide more comfortable "Autistic space" than is generally found in the NT world. We decided that we needed a place that was fairly quiet, had no nasty fluorescent lights, and was situated in the midst of great natural beauty.We also needed...

Such a diverse group of people attended AutHaven, from those struggling to survive on SSI to those who were in their early forties but could afford to comfortably retire now if they chose to. From a nudist, to a male gay kabuki nun. From a chef to a young woman studying to be a neurologist...

The first annual AutHaven took place this past February at a nudist resort in the mountains of Colorado. I had actually been hoping to attend Autreat in PA, but the fees an the transportation costs made it costs prohibitive. I ha spoken to others who have always dreamed of attending who were...

Some mothers have an ocean full of love for their children. Others have a thimble full. Though my mother had more than an ocean full of love for my younger sister, and I [thought] had a thimble full for me, as a child,I was alright with that. My rationale, at the time, was that my sister was...

Many Autistics are "people who need people, in particular, other Autistic people " Others prefer isolation, including from others who are Autistic. This is for those who believe that Autistics CAN work together, NEED to work together, to have the most awesome life possible, not for those who...

It wasn't as though I hadn't heard of Autism back then.It's just...well..the criteria for diagnosis was different in the late fifties and early 60's. .My mom worked as a part -time registered nurse a few nights a week during a time when most women worked at home as "housewives." Though she was...

I feel insane most days, like I am looking through a window at the world. The only thing off is the room I am in has no doors, only a small grimy window to look through. I see the same faces, sometimes new faces, just looking at me, but I can't say anything. I still move, and speak but it's not...
