    I know this will sound bad, but...

    I'm proud I helped my friend today by talking to her about her problems, but I'm mostly bad it seems. And again, I'm so sorry I have so much hate. I know I'm not a label but just me, but people think we are our labels because the DSM tries to encompass like every aspect of the person with the AS...

    Should I go back to College at my age?

    I might go to college after working for a while (as a nurses' aid, which I need to take the course for first... I eventually want to become a social worker though.) It is never too late and you are never too old to go to college, for the reasons others in this thread said and also because it's...

    What about ASD in the military?

    I wanted to join the military just to prove something to myself and others, but I decided not to due to solving my issues and my growing political reservations about authority figures.

    I know this will sound bad, but...

    I wrote this in a mental health group I belong to and it describes my feelings still: "How can I learn to be proud of my differences or different labels that don't apply to me and not hate them and hate myself for them? I've been hated too many times for them or had those aspects of me hated...

    I know this will sound bad, but...

    Hi, everyone. Sorry if I sounded awful. I feel more PDD-NOS (albeit normally-ish functioning) than Aspie and yet many behind-the-times people are still calling me Aspie. I guess I've just been around a lot of assholes lately that happened to be Aspie or claim to be. But I also don't like how...

    I know this will sound bad, but...

    I hate a lot of people with Asperger's and I'm diagnosed with Asperger's but I don't think I'm Aspie. I think I just have some autistic tendencies/traits. My Asperger's diagnosis was replaced by PDD-NOS but many professionals who are ignorant still write down "Asperger's" sometimes just because...
