    So I didn't attend a colleagues wedding

    A couple of years ago a new guy joined my team. We got paired up quite a bit as he was still learning the job. He is a very emotional person and opened up to me straight off the bat, telling me that he felt low due to his girlfriend breaking up with him. This made me feel uncomfortable as I'm...

    Should I get a formal diagnosis?

    Hi everybody, Should I seek a formal diagnosis for my Asperger's? When I was 19 years old my college lecturer took me to one side, said that he believed that I had Asperger's and asked if I wanted to get a formal assessment. That evening I spoke to my parents who told me that it had been...

    Dealing with conflict

    Hi everybody, I recently had an incident at work where a visitor had become angry with me. I can't really go into specifics due to the nature of my work. To them they believed that they were too important to follow the rules and wanted me to cut corners which I didn't. This made them really...

    Sexless Relationship

    Hi everybody, Ever since I started dating and relationships I have always measured the relationship on physical affection and sex life as I find it hard to gauge emotions. I have been with my girlfriend now for over nine years and things have become a lot less physical. She blames this on that...

    Using Social Media

    Hi everybody, I've been thinking about social media a lot recently and was wondering if and how you use it? Most of the people I know add people that they have just met, people that they shared a class with at school (but never spoke to), their colleagues and bosses. I'm quite a private...

    Situation Awareness

    Hi everybody, When I get involved in a conversation that I'm really interested in I get like a tunnel vision where I'm unable you pick up on things around me. Does anyone else suffer with this or done anything to improve their situational awareness?

    Connecting with People

    Hi everybody, I have always had a really small circle, which only consisted of close family relatives. When I was young I didn't mix with the other kids outside of school, apart from when my parents forced me to go to the birthday parties of kids in my class. I just preferred my own...

    Pinterest Software

    Not being able to "Switch Off"

    I really enjoy my job as it involves a lot of researching and planning, that much so that I tend to continue after work and on my days off. My family think that I will end up burning myself out and that I'm not able to switch off from work. They talk about television soaps or gossip, which...

    Job Interviews

    Hi everybody, I don't think anyone likes job interviews, I find them difficult as I don't always get the same interpretation of the question that they are asking as they do. I haven't had a formal diagnosis of AS. I managed to get my current job through an interview, I don't know how as there...
