    "You are Princess Cheese". Said by one of boys at collage (totally thinking I could make a cartoon about it). I am going to starting working on ideas for that tommerow.

    Am I an Aspie?

    The reason I am making this is because after a few short replies to a previous post of mine, I decided to list out some of my biggest 'symptoms' that I tend to notice. I myself am only a Junior in high school and I feel as though I do not know enough about this to be able to self diagnose...

    I don't know what's going on.

    Hi, my name is Maria and I think that I MAY have Asperger's Syndrome. I could list out all my symptoms or what not but I know that I personally get tired reading long posts so I will keep this brief for now. I was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago, but I have not yet seen a psychiatrist or...

    Fiddle Toy Stigma

    All over my facebook I am seeing people complain about fiddle cubes, spinners etc but why. Since fiddle toys have come on to the mainstream market they are getting a lot of bad press. I always have a fiddle toy such as a tangle or snake with me to stop me scratch my hands and keep my anxiety at...

    I have been struggling with the task of adequately describing the sea change that has occurred in my life - to verbalise the subtle, yet profoundly positive shift that has occurred in the relationship I have cultivated with my husband for 30 years. I have considered and rejected numerous...

    New here!

    Hi, My name's Marshall and I'm 23 years old. For a couple years I've always thought I might have aspergers. My story is very similar to those I've read. Growing up I had very little friends, I would prefer to be alone and do things my way, and I always felt a bit different and out of place. And...

    Entry 1 - 'I have a hopeless crush on someone I stand no chance with.'

    I came to university in September 2015, and if there was one thing I wasn't expecting, it was to meet the perfect girl for me. She loves football, video games, The 1975, near enough the same things. She is incredibly pretty, and just her smile makes me feel funny. She's always on my mind and I...

    Unexpected change is the worst

    I was supposed to go to a riding lesson this morning, but the barn is 1-2 hours away by trains without a car. I have a big anxiety about this commute every time I visit there, but as I heard that it would rain later today, the anxiety got HUGE. I couldn't go to a riding lesson. I am very very...

    Autism Madness

    As with any job, I have my good and not so good days as a substitute teacher's aide. Sometimes the class is just having a challenging day. The teacher and staff are terrific but some of the students are having issues that day. Such as the day when I came home feeling like I had been at the Wild...

    Is Asperger's hereditary?

    Even though I have a twin brother who is identical, not fraternal, he does not have it. I do. I was diagnosed at age 10. My mom is bipolar and she says depression runs in the family. She also had me at 38, a few weeks before she turned 39. Could this play a factor in Asperger's? As far as that...

    What was it like having friends growing up with AS?

    I was diagnosed at the age of 10. Just in time before I hit those 'teenage' years. I know many stories will be different. For me, I had a twin brother without AS, and me and him always shared the same friends during our teenage years. But sometimes he had his own group he would hang out with and...

    At the end of my rope

    I'm 29 years old and I have yet to enter a relationship. It's not that I haven't wanted it; I've wanted a girlfriend since the 1st grade. I had an abusive father and an overbearing mother. I was picked on in childhood for being fat and weird. Every friend I've ever had has either moved away...

    Was your social anxiety with you since birth?

    Did you experience social anxiety for as long as you can remember, or did it first become a problem and/or gradually get worse as you grew up and had bad experiences? As a kid I wasn't very anxious at all. I was awkward socially but I didn't really fear other people to the extent I did later...

    Hello everyone

    I'm new to these types of forums; I guess I'll explain why I am here. I always knew there was something different about me, or rather differences became obvious to me at a young age. Most pronounced was that I realized I didn't think or socialize like other kids. Some things that seemed to come...

    Do carbonated drinks hurt? Like, a lot?

    Every time I drink soda, or even a slurpee from 7-11, my tongue and throat BURN as soon as any little bubbles touch it. If I have a lot I can feel it hours later, like I scratched my throat really bad. I barely touched the tip of my tongue to soda recently and I shrieked and covered my mouth...

    Hi! Aspie girl with lifelong music obsession, also maths and other stuff

    Hi I'm a self-diagnosed aspie. I find these introductions so awkward as I had so many doubts about my own opinion on this. I ended up basically developing anxiety at the end of my third year at uni, but I know this is the root cause and fortunately now have a fellow aspie friend who agrees with...

    Questioning my diagnosis

    hi everyone. I was diagnosed with borderline ASD/NVLD back in September of 2015. As a child I met full criteria for Asperger's syndrome. However I am beginning to question it. It seems that diagnosing ASD is very difficult to do since I am also GAD and ADHD. I function fine with medicine...
