    Childhood.

    Yes my favourite 'toy' was a tap (not connected to anything!) could spend hours just opening and closing it.

    Childhood.

    Taking things to bits, there was very little which I didn't take to bits.

    Things you learnt about autism since joining forums

    Although this is the only forum I am on, it has aided in shifting my denial towards my diagnosis, in hearing about other's similar life experiences which resonate with my own. A recent thing I have learnt is to find distance from my special interests, observe them more for what they are and...

    If you are on the autistic spectrum, are you or have you been in a romantic relationship?

    The intimate side of things has been impossible to compute, too over-stimulating and confusing. I don't intend to have any further intimate relationships, the 'work' involved in all the mental processing is too much in comparison to the 'reward', maybe I never met the right person, but would...

    How did you feel when you discovered that you were, or suspected you were, in the spectrum?

    Denial, then some acceptance, then more denial, them more acceptance. I was diagnosed later in life, so I suppose there is so much to 'reframe' it is quite complicated. Issues that I thought were related to other things were more likely related to the 'spectrum'. I suppose in my opinion the...

    The Case of the Missing Towel

    There you go, you were thinking about mischievous mutli-dimensional activites and the quantum field provided...maybe the answer is to think about relaxing on an infinite plain of supersoft towels and those little green fellas might just return it. Fingers crossed the 'rat theory' isn't correct.

    The Case of the Missing Towel

    A case of multi dimensional incongruity/misaligment, alien beings, briefly emerging into our physical reality committed towel theft. It happened to my car keys once, I am sorry there is very little you can do.

    Feeling like a failure

    I was once homeless with a five year old child and picking vegetables in Winter to make money. I felt like a failure at that point until I realised I was only societal failure. Personally I was a success surviving against the odds in very difficult circumstances. Point is don't feel the...

    telling the kids

    Same with me, I only found out because my son is ASD and then I realised I was similar in many ways by learning about it, and was diagnosed.

    telling the kids

    Unless your diagnosis is going to change their lifestyle is some way, I don't see any need to tell them. Although whatever I would give yourself at least month, before telling anyone, there are a lot of pieces which will come together over the next few weeks and how you feel now might be quite...

    Probably not autistic, now I don't know what to do

    It is an interesting situation, prior to being diagnosed I thought that if it was a positive result I would finally have something to guide me through my desire to improve my life. Knowing I was on the spectrum would enable me to 'solve' (or at least find peace with) some of my issues, however...
