    I ditched someone I have feelings for. Did I do the right thing?

    Hey everyone, I posted here a while back about a girl in my life and I got some helpful responses from you guys. (See here: What should I do about this girl?) To cut a long story short I was close to this girl at college (at the time she had a boyfriend) and we have had on-off contact since we...

    What should I do about this girl?

    Hi, I'm not a regular poster here, but would appreciate some fellow Aspie guidance in this situation. First of all some background info, basically I'm a 20 year old guy with a diagnosis of ASD. I've never had a girlfriend in my life, at the moment I am not in employment because of various...

    I have an obsession over Facebook

    Like many Aspies I've had obsessions which manifest through various things in my life. At one point it was to do with my insecurity about my height. Most recently I have been obsessed with social media, specifically Facebook. It seems to be kind of an OCD. This isn't entirely new - in the past I...

    Managing unhealthy obsessions

    I'm sure many of us have had to deal or are dealing with rather unhealthy obsessions. I tend to have a special interest as well as being anxious about something at the same time. You could argue that I have generalized anxiety, but that's another story. For example, in the past I have had an...

    Online gaming friends

    I have an interest in online gaming (i.e. Playstation 3 and 4). I have some "network friends" on it, including a small group from school who I used to play with quite a lot a couple of years back, but it hasn't maintained to a consistent level. I was friends with them somewhat as well because...

    Dealing with social banter and possible stigma

    I am an 18 year old Aspie, and currently at college studying Painting & Decorating among other 16-18 year olds. I look a lot younger than I am because of late puberty, and I am the shortest guy (only 5ft 4 or 5). So while I am the oldest I certainly don't "feel" the oldest, in fact I probably...

    Anyone else here who tells blatant lies for the sake of it?

    Interestingly I've read that most Aspies find it hard to lie and are very honest... sometimes that is true with me but other times the opposite. For some reason, in social situations when I am putting on "a mask", I think of a hypothetical scenario, or something that almost happened and tell...

    Feeling insignificant and inadequate

    I don't really know where to start with this post, and I may not have posted in the right place so sorry about that. I feel like I am lacking a lot of motivation and almost felt too lazy to think about what exactly I wanted to post (if that makes sense). Part of that is boredom I guess, because...

    I have Aspergers, just reached adulthood, but struggling with various issues

    This is going to be a really long note, so thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read it. I just turned 18 two months ago, and I was diagnosed with Aspergers and ADHD at the age of 13 (quite a late diagnosis, I know!). At the moment I am struggling in particular with motivation...

    Struggling to understand friendship dynamics

    I was originally going to ask this on Yahoo answers, but it wouldn't let me make such a long question. So I thought this was as good a place as any (even better, probably) to join and ask! I hope this isn't TOO long btw. I'm one of those Aspies who is more inward about it - I tend to mask it...
