    Neurotype has no bearing on how difficult a relationship is.

    As the title says (at least in my experience). I struggle just as much if not MORE trying to keep a relationship going with an aspie. We both overanalyze and get mad and frustrated and misunderstand eachother and its so hard.

    The Vortex

    Further to my post about not wanting to feel, and as art therapy, I painted this. Its a visual representation of emotions, as I interpret them. The bright colours, yellow and orange, which are thinner and more spread out, are representative of the positive emotions - joy and calm. The reds...

    Is it possible to become emotionless?

    Serious question. I feel too intensely, I'm sick of feeling my own and everyone else's emotions so strongly. How can I stop this? I don't want to feel.

    Link between binge eating and sensory need?

    A friend posed an interesting question to me after I complained about binge eating and my teeth hurting because of clamping my jaw when I have panic attacks/meltdowns... She put it to me that perhaps I binge because I need oral sensory stimulation. I'm never hungry when I binge, and not always...

    Am I the only one that experiences jealousy?

    Jealousy is meltdown inducing for me. I'm not the only aspie who experiences jealousy, am I? Even the slightest bit causes an extreme reaction.

    Big Bang Theory's Penny.

    I don't know how many of you are familiar with The Big Bang Theory TV show, but I really dislike Penny. She's manipulative and actively puts down Leonard's interests, makes snide remarks to him and makes him change himself for her, instead of loving him how he is. People watch this and think...

    A poem for a friend.

    Like a candle you may flicker, Like a shelter you may drip; Like a yo-yo you go up and down, You yell "abandon ship!" And when the world is black and you don't know what to do; Remember there are people there who feel the same as you. They may also flicker, and they may also drip; They too...

    Shoe laces

    I don't tie my shoe laces. I tighten them to just the right tightness then tuck the excess lace in my shoe, down the side so I'm not stepping on it. I can tie shoelaces, I just don't like having them tied, no idea why.

    Picture filters

    I'm sure you've seen them - they make you look flawlessly skinned, bright eyed, full lashed... or they give you a "cute" dog nose or cat ears and whiskers, or a flower crown or sparkles. THEY MAKE ME RAGE! I don't know why, they just infuriate me. More so when its grown adults in their...

    Feedback on college homework

    I had to write about a surprise that I or someone else got. It didn't have to be real, it could be imaginary which is what I went with. It needed to have plenty of literary devices (alliteration, personification, similes, metaphors, assonance, imagery, juxtaposition etc) be written in first...

    Bipolar II

    Is there anyone that has Bipolar II that would be willing to talk to me?

    Bisexuality

    How many of you are bisexual or bicurious? I am bisexual, but only 2 people know (I've told my partner in the past but he thought I was joking... so he isn't one of the two). Because I'm in a long term relationship its not really something that I've needed to discuss with anyone, nor been able...

    Author, Richard Laymon

    Stephen King and Thomas Harris have always been my go-to horror/thriller/supernatural authors. But my friend mentioned Richard Laymon and thinks he is just as good if not better than King, and thinks I would love his work. I've never read anything by him before. Anyone read any of his stuff...

    Display of trust?

    My friend gave me a set of keys to their flat and just said, "Its so you can let yourself in if I'm not here when you arrive or something". Is this a display of trust? Are they telling me in a non verbal, symbolic way that I am a trustworthy and important person?

    How to talk to my daughter about her possible Aspergers

    So, my 8 year old daughter has been asking me questions because her teacher has told her someone is coming in to school to see her about her anger and struggles in school. She has asked me also if she has special needs and said that she is different. I'm not really sure how to approach it...

    Contacting Aspergers Team

    Ok as some of you know I am waiting for assessment (in the UK) which they have said could take up to a year to get, but I wondered if it would be acceptable for me to contact them and ask where in the referral process I am right now. Long periods with no contact from them is making me worry...

    Strange feeling?

    Why do I get a weird, churning feeling in my stomach when I think I've done something to upset someone, or if I feel as if someone thinks badly of me? I don't know what it is, and it isn't just people I know in real life it happens with. I just get this stomachache and churning and feel tense...

    Zeitgeist - The Movie

    Anyone seen this? Thoughts? I found it incredibly interesting, and thought it made some very good points. Wasn't keen on the computer generated visualisations, they made me feel uncomfortable.

    Is this obsessive/repetitive behaviour?

    Listening to one specific artist and playlist for a week or more, from waking up to going to bed everyday?

    Clockwatching

    I've put this in the "random discussion" bit because I'm not entirely sure if it is spectrum related. I am an almost obsessive clockwatcher. If I'm waiting for something - for my other half to get home from work, a train, an appointment - I will constantly check the time, finding only a...
