for those of us who didn't get diagnosed till late, or those of us who are actively trying to "Pass". do you ever feel like you are holding the real you back? like there's basically a whole other person who acts in ways the fake you would never in a million years act like?
like in my mind i...
This very brief entry was originally posted on my tumblr page.
There is no question that makes me more uncomfortable, that makes my mind and heart freeze more, than the question, “What Do You Do?” I dread it in every conversation that I have, with people I haven’t seen in a few years, with...
I watched the following video recently and wanted to add some comments from my own experience.
When I was a child I sometimes went to the grocery store with my grandmother. She wanted to be nice and asked me: "Would you like me to buy anything for you? What would you like?"
I never chose...
I like my routines and when everything works as I had planned or expected. However, it doesn't always work obviously.
I have three main strategies to cope with this:
1. Making backup plans
I go to work by bus and train. They are rather reliable in general, but of course there can be problems...
I have two friends who used to be a couple, who were friends of my ex and I when we were a couple too. We don’t live in the same country anymore, but when I learned that they separated more or less at the time than we did, I contacted them (separately).
What she said about their separation was...
I write this poem the other day. What inspired it was me thinking about my friend, who is going through a hard time right now. She is very private, tried to hide how she feels a lot. Sometimes I feel it gets in the way of our relationship. Prehaps this is made more of a problem by my inability...
I thought I would start this blog with a quick introduction. I'm SparklAng, my real name is Angharad. I am really happy I found this forum. Thank you to you all for being so welcoming to me.
I tend to go on a bit, writing concisely is not really a skill I have. So in an attept to keep this post...
The relationship with my dad was based in the exchange of knowledge, mostly him helping me out with school subjects, or him recommending me books.
It was never an equal exchange. He mostly downloaded information on me (aspie style) and I received it. I used to receive it gladly because I...
As a kid, i'd always take pride in the fact that my memory was better than most peoples. I thought i was super smart because i was hyper-verbal, and could recall exactly what i needed to know at the right moment. I also had the innate talent to read people, even if i didn't put too much...
i made a post in one of the fb groups im in. i asked if there were any connection to being born preme and becoming autistic and everyone, literally every person in the group misunderstood the question and made comments like,
"i was born late and still autistic"
"autism is genetic"
"its only...
Like a hamster is made for a wheel,humans are made to be active to maintain happiness.
But what Hamster is made for a wheel?
They only run round and round because somebody put them in a cage.
Many humans are also encaged, running on a different wheel, either running to or from happiness...
I work the opposite shift as my fiancé and my friends are busy when I’m in need of them most. I don’t want to be lonely anymore. It hurts. It makes me feel paralyzed.
i am all over the place right now. the woman in charge of intake didnt fight me on me suspecting i have autism or adhd. in fact from our brief very brief interaction she agreed testing would be best. idk if that means i was right, or they just want my money. sigh im cynical i know.
i expressed...

Sometimes I get an idea because I think see something and think
"What if I change one letter, or one word/aspect?" Sometimes an
idea develops from what I thought I saw, at first.
Examples:
I saw this>Generator Land: the cop show character generator
and thought, hey I could make something like...
I feel safe with my date of these days. What I mean by “safe” is the physical part of being safe, and I’m not referring to the lack of fear of being abused by him (that’s another horrible fear, but not the subject of this post. To clarify doubts, I feel safe with him in that aspect too).
I mean...
I had this beautiful aspie conversation with my aspie son (he doesn't know he is an aspie, or that I'm an aspie too).
"I want to be left alone in school sometimes and they don't let me".
"Don't you have a place to be alone during recess?"
"No. And during class, as they say I'm the smartest in...
There's several situations that worry me at the moment, but a few seconds ago, I got swept by "my" locker at the pool where I come to swim everyday. It looked beautiful, simple and colored coordinated. It could become an original picture of these times, not just mine, but everybody's. Like those...
