    I've been accused of a crime!

    don'tpanic don'tpanic don'tpanic... I've been accused of stealing some ear pods from a friend and the police are involved... I'm worried! So I often get out walking in parks and cemeteries as it's quiet and peaceful there and I can settle my overactive brain. A few weeks ago I walked in a nearby...

    Serious Accidents and Sensory Issues

    So 2 weeks ago I had a serious car accident. I sneezed, caught the front wheel on the gravel, veered across the road and rolled down a bank, all at 100km/h. Broke my neck, which required being flown to a larger city for immediate surgery to take a piece of bone from my hip to replace the disk...

    Aspergers AND Tourettes?!

    So my 10-year-old daughter has stimmed in varying ways for most of her life, and it's got worse over the last few years. Her stims are usually gross motor movements and for the past 8 months she has had a jump, where she jumps quickly enough for her feet to connect with her butt. This is worse...

    My Aspie sons' support cat has died suddenly...

    Hi all, just wanting to touch base and share, in case anyone has some tips or advice for me. My 16 year old son has a cat who has been his support pet for the last 3 years while he dealt with the repercussions of sexual abuse, self-harming and attempted suicide. His cat was his go-to after a...

    Ideas for teaching better social skills for my 10 year old...

    I've had endless trouble with my daughters teacher this year, as she refuses to acknowledge or understand her aspergers. I have pulled my daughter out of school to homeschool her the rest of the year as her self esteem has never been lower. I want the last month of her schooling to focus on...

    Dexter!!

    Anyone here watched the old TV series Dexter? My 15 year old aspie son has discovered it and is binge-watching it at every opportunity. He identifies with Dexters' lack of emotion, blunt factual analysis and learning how to 'fake it' for the world. It's a new obsession for him, and he's told a...

    Aspies and Holidays Abroad

    This is more a curiousity thread - I have never had a desire to travel abroad. For me this is multi-faceted; my anxiety makes the unknown of each step too overwhelming for enjoyment, my fear of crowds makes airports and cities a little piece of hell, and my simplistic view of enjoyment means I...

    Burnout...

    I'm right on the tip of a burnout and know I need to make some changes if I want to stop myself tipping into the abyss, although I don't have the energy to think, process and take action. I've noticed a lot of aspies seem to go through regular burnout - have any of you found ways to cope when...

    I suspect my mum is Aspie, but I still don't want contact!

    I've come to the conclusion my mum is on the spectrum as I've gone through the process of having my daughter diagnosed and recognising so many traits in myself. I stopped speaking to my mum two years ago and even now I'm sure she's Aspie I don't want contact. I just feel so angry for how she...

    Just getting so tired of 'Life'

    Don't fret, I'm not depressed and suicidal. I just find (and I think it's a common Aspie trait) that I'm so easily tired of the overwhelming-ness (it should be a word!) of Life. I know the life I lead would be challenging for a neuro-typical but it has always felt that way and I can't see a way...

    Relationships and missing social cues

    Hi, I have always struggled to form healthy relationships, partly because I miss so many cues to see when someone just isn't really into me. It doesn't help that as an aspie I fall for people hard. I've been 'kinda sorta' seeing someone for 5 months who definitely likes his space and doesn't...
