    This is why I find working/job hunting so hard!

    somebody posted a job on Facebook and I asked what hours? Which seems like a reasonable thing to want to know. And people started commenting saying it’s not how to approach an employer. Apparently it was rude and blunt. People are so weird. Anyway now I feel like crap and want to hide in my...

    Anyone feel like a robot?

    ...or feel like everyone else is? I’m sorry for all these stupid questions. I’m starting to wonder about all the odd things I’ve ever felt or thought and wonder if this was linked to autism. As a young girl I thought for a very long time I was the only human being and everybody else was a...

I was happy about this as I had always felt different from my peers and didn’t know how to explain it , and everything in this personality type seemed to fit me. When I was older I joined an INFJ group on FB and...

    Good language skills and Empathy. On the spectrum?

    So I know autism is known as a disorder that affects language and social skills. But can you be on the spectrum despite having some strong skills in this area? My 10 year old was diagnosed with ADHD and GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) at 8. He was later suspected to have ASD by his...

    Should I get my son assessed?

    Hi, I have just recently gone through the process of having my 9 year old assessed for autism and should have the results soon. The reason I left having him assessed for so long was because my older son who is now 15 seemed to have way more indicators for autism, but when I suggested it to his...
