    Hi :) I've been coming to the realization that much of my mental health struggles (depression and anxiety throughout my life) comes mostly from issues relating to executive functioning, obsessive thinking after social interactions and low self-esteem.

    Speaking in groups or in front of people

    Hi! I just started a new semester at school and feel pretty burnt out after a week. A lot of the classes I have this semester require speaking in front of the class to present projects or have discussions. That is something I've always really struggled with and I am noticing dreading going back...

    Tasks taking a lot longer because of attention to detail

    Hi humans! I am curious if some of you experience this also, especially when it comes to work. I've been a housecleaner for a few years and this comes up quite a bit. I've had contracts where people expect me to clean an apartment within 2 hours, but it takes me 3+ hours, without a break, to...

    Accomodations for autism in school

    Hi humans :) I recently decided to go back to college after being out of school for more than 2 years and out of «in-person» school for around 10 (I have 2 online degrees).

    obsessing over past relationships or social situations

    Hi humans! Is it a shared experience with some people here to feel «stuck in the past», especially when it comes to past relationships or social interactions? It's something I've been stuggling with a lot, it's like my brain gets stuck on trying to understand EVERYTHING about a social...

    trouble prioritizing

    I noticed that I have trouble prioritizing things. Things that I need to do accumulate in my brain and I easily feel overwhelmed and like my brain is full and have trouble prioritizing certain things over others. The thing is it's not always things that I need to «do» but things that I need to...

    Hi there, I’m going through a pretty hard time lately and thought it could be helpful to share with others on this site. I had an appointment with my new family doctor today.

    response from family members to coming out about autism

    Hey, I’m a recent self-diagnosed aspie and I was wondering if any of you wanted to share what it was like to «come out» to your family about discovering you were on the spectrum. It’s been pretty hard for me to have these conversations with my mom. She is responding in very invalidating and...

    Anxiety and AS Self-Diagnosis

    Hi! I’m going through a period of high anxiety and am trying to find ways to take care of myself. One of the things that have been on my mind lately is the possibility of being on the spectrum. It just makes a whole lot of sense to me but is a lot of new information to process. That has been...
