    Trouble being supportive

    The situation: I live together with my not-quite-NT boyfriend of 6 years. He's a very creative (and chaotic) person with whims in which he'll create something. Often bizzare contraptions that don't necessarily serve a purpose. It's fun for him. For instance, last week he spent hours making a...

    Is it possible for doctors to not detect any signs of Asperger's/autism in babies or toddlers?

    Or was I an exception? When I was younger (maybe around 5-11years old), I did some pretty unconventional things. I intentionally cut my left ear lobe with scissors during class in pre-K because I didn't know better (thankfully, it healed), I joked about the word "sex" in third grade even though...

    How Imagination and Special Interests are His Motivation

    (Not written by me) Jonah wants you to know that he has Asperger’s Syndrome. Yes, he says, it has hardships but his autism comes with many strengths. One of his greatest is his imagination. He uses it in a positive, creative way to help him through day-to-day tasks or when he needs to go to a...

    What is an Aspie?

    College students with autism

    Hello, I'm a college student (doctoral degree) who is doing a study about college students with autism.

    Being "mothered" by people

    Something I've noticed happening to me is that I will attract women not much older than me who feel the need to "mother" me by asking me if I need help with something or if I'm okay. The female therapists and professionals tend to be like this too. They'll call me "honey" and "sweetie" and...

    Broaching relationship issues with ASD boyfriend

    Okay, so I've been at this for over three years now. You'd think I'd be a pro by now, but alas, not yet! I'm unsure of the best approach for broaching relationship issues with my bf whom we suspect is on the spectrum. For some history, he was married and divorced shortly before we met. I...

    I'm new and looking for some information.

    Hello. I have been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and I have some doubts. For what I have read I know that AS is no longer in use and it has been put into the Autism Spectrum. My most important question is: am I autistic? If I am "in" this Autism Spectrum I am autistic? And if AS doesn't exist...
