    all of them, yep, I have

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    Dear @Deepthought please, forgive me for having taking so long to thank you for your again long and profound answer. It took me some time to read and reread. I intended to answer bit by bit, it was a hard read. I have the habit of editing texts, whenever I read a text, and yours, for...

    Emotional Risk

    Another excellent answer @WolfSpirit that gave me a very clear guideline. I really had this in mind, that if things got worse I wanted to have them known beforehand, even if they didn't want to get involved in the process; You also helped me to see clearly that I don't need to give details to...

    Emotional Risk

    At present I am so very messy and blind I can't respect myself or others. This is causing my situation to get worse. But I just don't have any more energy left and lost my intelligence or strength, or I don't know what is missing. But I am not doing things right and I can't help it. I don't...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    Neuro diversity is as a fact as bio diversity is. In fact, neuro diversity is part of bio diversity. Nature is diverse. Nothing is the same in Nature. Functionality is not all we need to achieve, no matter if we are typical or diverse. Happiness in being ourselves is what matters. Being our...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    Please, in that case, make more than one post. I myself hate when I have to edit out a text to make it fit character limits. "Important retakes for requisite observation and learning", that is how we should see all our failures or lack of ability to camouflage. And at the same time, by being...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    Dear @Deepthought I don't know how many times I read your so well written long post and fought with it, trying to destroy each of your points. But you are right when you say will power is a force. I myself am committing this mistake of not letting things just be and use what is here. I could...

    These "times" are destroying hope for me

    I don't question anything you said, you presented the whole thing quite precisely. The only thing you kept saying that didn't sound good to me and maybe it is the source of your despair it is that you constantly said you are old. You see, I was born in the same year, and I don't like hang out...

    Lost with zero motivation

    My understanding about depression is that in a normal state we enjoy a happy marriage to ourselves. Then, something happens and we die, and we have to grief this loss. So, if people come and ask us to go out, to this, to that, we just don't want because we are newly widow. It is only time that...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    I am trying to find something wrong with what you said but can't. It doesn't sound good but I can't quite contest. Every point I try to build doesn't stand. You were short but clear. I still don't like what you said but I think you are right. I wish I could find something wrong. Maybe somebody...

    How does this issue relate to aspergers?

    I can't connect time to learning because knowledge is as infinite as time, and the speed in which the information is revealed has nothing to do with the speed the information is gathered. Learning is life itself, it is all there is. Some things seem to be already known. Other are being revealed...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    Yes @Pats it all depends of the value we give to things. For some hugging is demonstration of affection, and being denied that is rejection. For some hugging is invasion and imposing it is aggression. Love is like a language that must be translated if we want to be understood. We need to know in...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    First of all, @Neonatal RRT , thank you so much for this wonderful and clear presentation. It feels we are completing each others thoughts, and that is what makes the experience in this forum so gratifying. We humans in general want to group. This is why we are here, trying to find our tribe...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    All tribes are stronger. Ours too. It is not only our aggressors who are more powerful. We are understanding ourselves better, we are gathering within our tribe, we are finding our space. Survival mood is the only option when we are unconscious, alone and in a hostile place. This is my present...

    Well, you have the most powerful weapon. I wish I had it. I am working on it. Silence would have save me from lots of problems.

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    You are absolutely right. It is a power thing. Even if we are more goal oriented and we don't mind about the credits we get for it, this is indeed a competitive world and we neurodiverse must use our intelligence as an advantage, not as an obstacle. The social thing can also be seen in the same...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    I recently watched a video forgot the name of the autistic psychologist who said that it is hard to win a discussion with us because our points are well based. We research, we studied, we use logic, they have poor points and we are the ones who crush them. So the only way they have to get the...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    Yes, I use to allow people to undermine me because in that sense I don't like to create conflict. I create conflict if I am exposing an idea based on something I studied and I know. The other person will have to convince me of their point. It is the only way. I will be glad to accept if they do...

    Functional or not functional, for what?

    Criticism confuses me. I take it too seriously. This is why it makes me weak, because I start trying to fix things that are unfixable. I am used to take criticism seriously. I am addicted to it. It guided me through life. If someone tells me I am wrong, even if I feel I am right, I take it into...
