Do people with asperger's have a tendency to hate their ex-partners after break up?
Do people with asperger's have a tendency to hate their ex-partners after break up? If so, could this be due to their black and white thinking? You're either my girlfriend(love) or foe(hate)? Hello all, I am an NT and am deeply hurt and confused by my ex-boyfriend with asperger's. (FYI...- rachelsp

the kittybot!
Hi all! I'm a 31-year-old transgender (nonbinary/agender) freelance artist who was recently diagnosed with ASD. I've put myself down as having Asperger's because, even though ASD is now considered one general classification under the DSM-5, my symptoms most closely fit this older...- kittybot

I mean this in the most loving way possible, and I know I need to say that since it could be taken the wrong way given where I am .

My mom's narcissistic mask
I look fine, really. Actually, I'm so resilient than even I don't see my own psychological wounds. But they are there, and they are still bleeding. When my mom and dad came to visit us during the holidays, I noticed that my mom looked significantly older than the last time that I saw her. She... -
Adult Recently Diagnosed with ASD
I’m 21 years old, and I’ve recently been diagnosed with Asperger’s. Growing up my parents were very uneducated about mental health and just thought I was an awkward kid and would grow out of it. I will admit my autism doesn’t prevent me from living said “normal” life, but it does greatly...- Chef Boyardee

The men of my dreams
I remember, a couple of weeks ago, that we both had a good day. That was not the norm, you being without a job, me, recently separated from my husband. The following day you told me you had had a very vivid dream. You were in a building, which collapsed, and you were standing there, unscathed... -

Patience til the End
Hi I hope many of you will gain insight into people on the spectrum although each and every person is different and functions at a different level..

Learning at dinner time
My eight-year-old son wants to know about the creation of everything, so I’m searching the web to find cool videos to share with him. He usually spends a lot of time in his own video games, he also has swimming classes, and spends time doing homework. And last, but not least, he has seven hours... -
The Incident Pit, and how not to fall in... (First published October 2017)
As I sit here, towards the end of a busy, full day of cover at my local secondary school, wondering how long the Epi Pen training will take and if my son will make a big fuss about his guitar practice tonight, I realise that things have found their way back to a kind of normality. I have missed...- Chris Russell

PTSD and the Healing Power of Self-Forgiveness
Very recently, I've learned of the healing power behind forgiving yourself for a troubled past, and as highlighted in JDartistic's post about dealing with humiliation, I'm not alone in that sentiment. I would, however, like to explain where I was, where I am now, and what changed in hopes that... -

The Destructive Power of the Phrase "Life isn't fair"
"Life isn't fair." - The motto of those who don't care about just how unfair life has been to someone else. "Life isn't fair". I hate that saying so incredibly much. It can't be defeated because it's technically true. It's true because it makes itself true via its use and application by those...
