    Have you ever untyped a whole speech?

    I do this a lot. It’s why I prefer texts to voice calls. I’ll get a message or read a posting and get too involved in my response. I’ll type out what I think is a well thought out reply, but it’s way too much. Edit, retype, Google stuff, etc. Next thing I know it’s been way too long in both...

    200 years ago

    What was missing from life that we take for granted today. Things that mght be the reason why ASD is so prevalent? For example: I live next to a major freeway. The noise at night makes it hard to sleep. I’m not crazy, but insomnia would make any sane person crazy after a year or two. Am I a...

    Have you noticed?

    I’ve been a frequent flier here, but only for a few months. There’s another site that is basically the same format as this one that I have been using for a decade where I started to see this pattern: Has anyone else noticed that new threads get a LOT of posts in the first few days to weeks...

    Selfishness?

    Why is it that NT’s are allowed to be self-absorbed, even rewarded for specializing in whatever they’re good at. The men don’t do dishes or change diapers and nobody judges them. The women don’t ever open the hood on the family car or use the bar-b-que and it only reinforces their feminine...

    I’m not O.K

    I’m not O.K. I’m scared. I’m confused. I’m tired. I’m lonely. It’s been an eternity. Nobody understands. It’s a miracle that I have made it through so many days that have combined into being so many years. I just want it to stop being so hard. Anyone else?

    I always think I feel my phone vibrating

    It happens to me 100 times every day. I swear that my phone is vibrating in my pocket, or that I can hear it vibrating next to me on the couch. But I scramble to get to it before it goes to voicemail and there’s nothing. It’s just one more piece of my environment that steals any hope of getting...

    Post a Pic: Latest ‘Art’ Projects

    My latest and greatest: Bluetooth speaker. 6 inches tall. Bamboo and copper. Maybe 50 hours invested. I built it for my wife on our anniversary. We were broke, so it was built from 90% spare parts. Art can be anything. Just post a picture and tell us what it means to you!

    Anybody Shaking Uncontrollably?

    About 2 years ago my hands started shaking during the day. Not at night when I’m sleeping, or in the morning. It’s really my whole body sort of quivering, but it’s really only affecting my fine motor skills with my hands. It comes and goes throughout the day. Goes away when I’m drunk, but it...

    Hiding it with alcohol?

    Anyone else covering it up with alcohol or ‘other’ mind numbing substances? I’ve been a person who lives in a NT world for 5 decades. Got a great job, great wife (who understands), awesome child (also an Aspie at 15 years old), and I’m desperately trying to turn off the noise when I get home...

    What’s your Stim that nobody knows but you?

    Stims or “Stimming” as I think I understand it is something done to scratch the itch of needing something to get the physical nerve endings to be satisfied. In those with ASD who are non-verbal it is often something like flapping their hands or rocking back and forth. But the more...

    Confused and scared

    Hello all, 50 years old. Self-diagnosed with Asperger’s at 35. I’m married 20 years and have children. Good job for 30+ years. I got so good at hiding my ‘difficulties’ that I don’t know what parts are actually me, and what parts of me are really just the costume I wear to fit into society. I’m...
