    How to explain your difficulties to a NT?

    I mean, I can communicate with NTs. Family and friends. Most NTs don't see me as different, had lots of friends. It's me myself that do that. Because I know what I'm capable of, what my limitations are, and when I see or say things wrongly. But then I can't do it with all, in some instances I...

    How to explain your difficulties to a NT?

    It's very hard for me to explain in details to my mom for example my social inabilities and signs of ND. I can tell her, for example, I'm at a job and I can't connect with people or customers the way I wish. Then she gives me an example that she was out shopping and saying most people today...

    PANS/PANDAS: Symptoms, Causes, & Treatments

    I had extreme separation anxiety until the age of 13. I could basically sit in the shopping trolley and get anxious if my mom turned behind me. How can I remember this, as I probably was 2 years? You remember trauma! I remember playing a football game and always looking at the audience to see...

    Small chat

    I think that is common for everyone autistic, NT ... conversations in the head. The difference is probably with NT's that they apply that in real life conversations, while for autistic the conversations ends in the head when the thinking stops.

    Small chat

    I have heard this before, if you have a special interest (which I don't have) you are able to talk allot about it. My nephew tough who I relate to, has special interests, he is smart, much smarter than me. But he doesn't say much. He is still a kid, tough. Just like me when I was a kid, he is...

    Small chat

    Reading posts here, I get the feeling that autistic people do write and think like any other NT, many times I find the posts much more interesting and literate than normal. So why do autistic struggle with small chat, if they very well can write explanatory about their daily life? My question...

    Diagnose me from early childhood

    Will include some examples from early childhood and wonder if you see autistic traits, neurological dysfunction, something else or just semi-typical for a child of this age. If so, please explain why you think so. AQ50: 26 points. All autism tests I have done are on the borderline side (you...

    Children talking

    Have you ever seen small children 4-6 years old on TV being asked questions and how literate, and socially they are speaking and explaining themselves? I was never like this, neither in adulthood I compare myself with them and can see that they possess a social competence I never had, neither...

    Confused how my brain process things

    It's not that at all. I manage all these very well. But I believe there is another word for it if one just fills in the 3 A criteria in the DCM-5 scale, and not B/C. I came across it before but forgot. A. Persistent difficulties in the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication as...

    Relation with your phone, social networks....

    I use the phone like any other person. But I stay out of it as much as I can. I'm really sensitive to radiation, it makes me feel depressed, so I usually turn off Wi-Fi/data when not using it. I believe that we all are affected by radiation in a negative sense, most people would not agree, or...

    Is this autism, similar, or something else?

    Sports is the only thing that makes me feel alive, like I'm living and doing something in this world. Team sports wasn't an issue because most of the time you play and don't talk. The only problem was before and after the game, when people started socializing. Playing football as a kid I felt my...

    Is this autism, similar, or something else?

    I see, my AQ score was 26, which is quite low, and on the borderline. I did a professional evaluation, I couldn't be diagnosed as autistic as I didn't have the B criteria in the DSM-5 test. Likewise, I did have all A criteria, which is the social aspect. Do you have mine or similar difficulties...

    Is this autism, similar, or something else?

    No I don't. Never had. I don't speak much, when I do, it feels like "what is the reason I reason like this". I feel like I don't base my conversations on anything, I just say things because it feels right, not because it might be right. I'm completely unable to relate to my day, I loved speaking...

    Is this autism, similar, or something else?

    Giving some examples to show what I struggle with in real life: 1. Happy midsummer (In Sweden this is an important day). When people tell me this, on emails or in public, I just process it as a normal word, I don't see what it is (holiday, people take day off from work, they party/plan ...) My...

    Confused how my brain process things

    I can't classify why my brain doesn't process things normally like I see it does for people in my surroundings. All the tests I have done for autism show borderline, AQ50 I scored 26 which is "you can/do share some common difficulties as in autism ...". Medically I have done a neuropsychiatric...
