    Failing to read between the lines?

    Hi, I understand what the idiom means, but please could you give me some examples? Sometimes I think this might happen to me, or I might just be slow and stupid, so I would be grateful to know of other's experiences of it. Last night I was going to help out at a youth group. The adults...

    Carl Jung's The Red Book

    Hi, Has anyone read The Red Book? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Book_(Jung) I haven't because I know I'm not ready for it and couldn't begin to understand it, but I would like to know what others think about it. I hear it's an intense read and some say Jung was experiencing a...

    Do you have a strong sense of self?

    Hello, Today I was reading an old thread on Quora which was discussing why people with BPD have a poor sense of self. In the first answer a person claimed that people with autism have a strong sense of self...

    Can Dogs Have Autism?

    I'm sorry if this seems a really daft question! If you type the above question into Google it'll come up with a whole load of websites, so a lot of people must think this is possible. But, I really don't know what to think. Opinions?

    Bring Back Medieval Words

    I found this great list of ye olde words: http://www.citrus.k12.fl.us/staffdev/social%20studies/PDF/Medieval%20English.pdf I don't know how historically accurate this list is, but a lot of the words are fun and should be brought back into everyday usage. I like Daggle-tail, dong, darg, crug...

    Are you expected to be a genius?

    I'm sorry for the poor wording of the title and of my post. I hope you'll understand what I mean. Obviously, there are many of you who are highly intelligent people. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that there is an unfair amount of pressure for Aspies to be someone exceptional like...

    So many rude place names in the UK

    I'm sorry if I'm breaking any of the forum rules. Please delete if needed... There's fascinating the amount of rude and funny place names we have in the UK. Not rude when first named, but now...anyway, it made me laugh. I don't know if anyone else is as immature as me. Some names are just...

    Who is your favorite Sherlock Holmes actor?

    There are so many I think I have several favorites :) So, I'm just going to put them in a list in no particular order: 1.) Disney's Basil the Great Mouse Detective. I know that Basil isn't Holmes, but the film was probably my first introduction to Sherlock Holmes. Plus, Basil is everything that...

    Do sensory issues get worse with age?

    Edit: I think my post title would be more accurate as Do sensory issues change over time? I think that I've become more sensitive to clothing over the years. I used to be able to wear jeans and other rough textures without issue, although I found some of the woolly jumpers my Nan knitted for...

    Are Aspies and NTs natural opposites?

    I apologize for generalizing and some stereotyping in this post. When looking at most lists of Aspie traits and NT traits it seems that these two neurological groups have complimentary traits. For example: Aspies focus on detail, NTs see the whole picture. Aspies excel at logic and...

    List of dyslexia symptoms

    I've been trying to find a descent list of dyslexia symptoms on the internet, but haven't found anything very helpful so far. Everything seems to be very focused on the reading and writing issues and can be very vague about it. There's very little for adults. What I would like and would find...

    How do you define autistic culture?

    While there are many autistic communities which exist online, I still struggle to understand what is the culture of autism. When I think of the word culture I think of the many different cultures associated with different countries e.g. English culture often brings up images of Shakespeare...

    Do you find autism quizzes easy to answer?

    I'm talking about online quizzes such as Simon B-C's AQ test and the one which gives you a neurodiverse score and a NT score. Do you find yourself spending a lot of time trying to analyse the questions and selecting the most appropriate answer? And then wondering if you understood the question...

    Realized something about reading faces

    By NT standards, I don't think that I'm very good at reading the expressions on people's faces. Most of the time people's faces seem to be neutral to me and it's only been recently since I have able to see the smile in the famous Mona Lisa portrait. However, most of the time I am able to...
