    I wish I could fully understand when people are being sarcastic.

    My mom says that autistic adults don’t have the same rights as non autistic adults.

    Unless you’re a felon, you have the same rights as everybody else. I also have issues with my mother but you can’t give in to control freaks. Don’t let yourself care enough to be burdened with the task of finding “proof” In my case, nobody knows (that I know of) except my wife. Even my own...

    It’s Because of the Asperger’s

    Maybe it’s because I have a generally dark and cold perception of the rest of the world, but I highly doubt the rest of the world will ever care enough to educate themselves on the topic enough to allow them to interact with people like us without making us feel awkward or stupid or...

    It’s Because of the Asperger’s

    I can’t even bring myself to tell other people let alone get special treatment for it. That’s messed up. I’ve never met anyone else with it though. At least not that I know of.

    It’s Because of the Asperger’s

    Depends on the situation. I mean what are they doing that makes them seem like jerks? Are they reacting to something specific or just being jerks for no reason? If you do something that bothers their inner aspie, it’s an understandable reaction. I know if someone came over and rearranged my...

    It’s Because of the Asperger’s

    I don’t blame asd for anything in particular but there’s times where I realize it’s the reason for my behavior. Like when my wife meets her parents after work instead of coming straight home. I become furious because it’s a change to my routine. I realize that’s irrational on my part to behave...

    Being dragged into conversations you don't want any part in

    This is very true. However I believe many of us can learn to be quick with come backs. I did, but working in a shop around a bunch of “normal” people for 9 years has helped. I always watch/listen to everybody during those types of conversation and watching others responses while they all clown...

    Why do I suffer constantly?

    So I just reread my post and as usual I started overthinking everything. So first off, I didn’t mean that to come off as arrogant or anything. I didn’t mean to sound like I have a magic, one size fits all solution. I don’t know how you are or which aspects of being an aspie hit you the hardest...

    Being dragged into conversations you don't want any part in

    i woulda just said “well why would I like you, you’re always an asshole”. As for the virginity thing, I probably would have said “well good luck with that, there’s a cute dog over there, if you cover your face maybe he’ll help you beat everyone else....you like German shepherds?” But that’s...

    Why do I suffer constantly?

    Ok first off, pm me if you want to talk more about “my way” (don’t teally know another way) of dealing with it. Next, do you tell people you’re an aspie? I don’t. I hide it well. Granted I didn’t even know up until about 6 months ago, I thought I was just socially awkward. Set aside the...

    Why do I suffer constantly?

    The way I see it, society never wanted me, so I’ve pretty much turned my back on it. I enjoy being myself and being rebellious. Nobody knows I’m on the spectrum except my wife. Not even my parents. If someone doesn’t like me, I keep being me even more and take pleasure in knowing that my mere...

    Chronic Insomnia

    I’ve had insomnia my entire life. When I was a child I used to think that it was somehow related to my parents falling asleep before me. Like if they fell asleep first, that’s why I couldn’t sleep. Now my insomnia seems to go in “cycles”. Usually 3-5 times a year lasting 1-3 weeks each. Starts...

    "Autistic people are not failed versions of 'normal.' They’re different, not less"

    My whole life I always knew I was different. It’s only recently that I figured out what I am and started to understand myself better. Now I realize that I’m NOT different....I am married (still don’t understand how that happened) I work for one of the big three, I like cars, diy projects...

    Need help understanding myself

    I feel this way when someone makes fun of me or something I said unexpectedly especially if I can’t think of something to say back. Or if I try to say something and it ends up being stupid and there’s other people around.
