    While we have free speech here, there are things to consider

    Earlier today it has come to our (the forum staff) attention that a thread was blowing up and going in a totally wrong direction. I feel I have to speak out on this matter specifically, but will keep it as an open letter for all to read. I'll lock the thread as there is no need to discuss...

    Announcing: The newest additions to the Aspiescentral staff

    So, as many have read in the past few months, we've been looking for new staff members after a slot opened up. Perhaps you already noticed by now 2 members have changed their usernames from blue to green, meaning they're both part of the moderation team. For those not in the know; the...

    What not to do if you have an issue with moderating actions

    After a few run-ins from people on this forum with staff, I suppose I'll post something on here, and hope people will understand it. Here on Aspiescentral we strive to make it a fun and safe environment for everyone on the spectrum (and people somehow associated with anyone on the autism...

    Aspiescentral is looking for new staffmembers

    As some might have noticed; Harrison isn't part of staff anymore. Life gets in the way sometimes; and sometimes... just sometimes, staffers really need a break from it all, because it can be a a bit overwhelming to deal with certain individuals. It's nothing exclusive to this forum, it happens...

    "Autism not recognized early on"

    Steve Silberman: The forgotten history of autism

    I'll leave this one here for anyone interested; (The Ted talks video offers subtitles and a transcript for those interested; click the Ted logo on the top left in the video to head to the Ted talks site about the video) I'd like to point out this is not an invite to debate vaccines, since...

    A tattered and torn resume with more holes than swiss cheese

    My resume is a joke, and not even because of the lack of a list of degrees and accomplisments of sorts. My careercoach asked me to make a resume so he has an overview what I did in terms of education, what I did as jobs, stuff like that. But I can't help but connect the dots and see a person...

    Failing the multitude of roles you play throughout your day

    I think most here are familiar with the social roles many of us have to "play". At a job you probably act and talk different than with friends. With parents you, while trying to remain true to yourself, might try really hard to adjust so they don't think you're overly weird (for lack of a better...

    Why aren't you social?

    Seems like a loaded question, doesn't it? Earlier today I read about some medication they developed which, in test runs has proven to make people more social. It increases dopamine and thus stimulates prosocial behaviour. (It's called Tolcapone...

    Autism IS linked to higher intelligence

    Source: People with genes related to autism 'scored better in mental ability tests' | Daily Mail Online Despite the reputation the Daily mail has (or so I've gathered) I guess it can't hurt to post a link to the actual study (even if it's paid content) to point out it's not something the Daily...

    The viability of supporting autism

    Reading articles about how people on the spectrum are being handled wrong, as well as difficulties for employment and whatever we have going on in the predominantly NT world I was wondering something. I mean, I just read an article how law enforcement doesn't really know how to handle autism, as...

    Aspiescentral poll: The results!

    So, as most know we had a monthly poll running for about 10 months. I got all data together and drew up some fancy graphs. Based on the results, the average AC user would appear to be like this; A man between 20 and 29 years old who is officially diagnosed with only an autism spectrum...

    Based on you as a person, what superpower suits you? (think; Misifts, that tv show)

    So, I've recently started watching Misfits, and yes I know I'm late for the party, since that show is long due, lol Anyway, I quite liked how the main characters at least, got special powers that actually suited their personalities and lifestyles. Perhaps some in a way of evil irony. Anyone...

    The Aspiescentral Monthly Poll; December 2014 (part 2B)

    This month there will be 2 polls (one already up for almost 2 weeks), just for the sake of collecting more information. As with last month's poll asking about everyone's age, this one is a fairly neutral one, but a relevant one nonetheless. We'd like to map out where members are located in...

    This month there will be 2 polls (other one following later), just for the sake of collecting more information. As with last month's poll asking about everyone's age, this one is a fairly neutral one, but a relevant one nonetheless. As it seems autism seems more prevalent in males, yet some...

    Local bands/artists

    Considering we're quite a global bunch here, it might be interesting to see some smaller bands/artists from elsewhere on the globe. Granted, I know we're not always the most social bunch to visit local gigs, but if you know any interesting artists, I suppose this is one of those places to...
