    Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?

    I'm anxious today. My short holiday is coming to an end, and tomorrow marks the day I'll be starting my final internship before graduating med school. I've been very excited about this, but ever so insidiously, The Fear started creeping in over the past few days. Maybe it's because I've been...

    I'm tired of people saying low functioning means sick also being in between things

    Hey everyone I am very frustrated every time I talk about a program that I've been to and people with autism, everyone seems to think low functioning means you can't do anything or that you're sick or that you're in a way not capable or something like that and if you are capable at all or if...

    Feeling Guilty for who am I

    Does anyone else feel guilty because of their disability and find them selves constantly apologising for needing helping, having a melt down etc. People tell me I say sorry to enough but I feel like have too.

    Questioning my Aspergers

    if I do have Aspergers it was completely missed as a child. I was quiet and odd, apparently. I can't get officially diagnosed. The only person who has ever taken me seriously is my therapist. My family are clueless on how not to invalidate me and my OCD (officially diagnosed) is off the charts...

    Looking for a group to help survey to conduct thesis on aspergers:

    Hello, I am looking for a group of people that have an awareness and understanding of their conditions and are willing to try an exercise that could possibly unlock their social ques. I want to share an awaking that I've experienced and want people to have that joy. What if I was to say there is...

    A really embarrassing conversation...

    maybe someone may get a laugh out of this. Sooo casually sitting with my husband and Mother in law (who is VERY Catholic, and why that's important will soon be obvious) and I turn to my husband, Josh and say " will you wrap me up in a blanket like a burrito?" Trying and failing to be all...

    22 yr old girl, just diagnosed

    Hi all! I'm 22 and got diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome yesterday which feels like such a massive relief as I've spent most of my life struggling. When I was 17 I lived in a psychiatric hospital for 9 months and was diagnosed with all sorts sporadically, (BPD, bipolar, depression, anxiety)...

    A re-introduction of sorts

    Hi gang. My name is Corrinne but most people call me Cory. I am 28 years old and I am originally from England but I live in California, US, with my husband. I do not have a "formal" diagnosis of Aspergers as of yet but I do have professional opinion after a long period of observation (from my...

    Cartoon series with aspie characters - Boreal and Beyond

    Here is a cartoon I am making that has a few aspie characters in it. So far the story is quite comical and not very serious because I'm currently trying to establish the characters and get used to the animation, but eventually it will be about Klara becoming a biologist in her local forest...

    Help Needed - High Functioning Autism in Girls Parents View

    Hi My friend was diagnosed with Aspergers at age 30 and as an NT I wondered how this had been missed?! Her brother has AS which was diagnosed at five and he received help throughout his school years and into adulthood. On the other hand, my friend received no help and I think this has...

    Hello. I thought I would try doing this part of the site now.

    I have been looking at posts on the forums and using the chat room already. I thought I would try being more social and doing this introduction now. The site and people on it seem nice and I am excited about meeting people who have been diagnosed for a while, and finding more about Aspergers...

    Aspies and social life

    I need to figure smth out. My Aspie ex accused me of not being able to have a social life because of me. This given the fact that I never told him to not do things, on the contrary, I more than respected his need for independence and going against my own wishes to join him sometimes at a party...

    First post

    This is my first post on aspie central. I was diagnosed as pdd-now as a toddler, which by age 11 the diagnosis became changed to asperger's. When I was in public school, I had very ableist and reactionary staff who frequently punish me for things other students did comma especially I got...

    Beauty insecurity?

    Hey, I get worried a lot of the time about whether I am perceived as beautiful/conventionally attractive. I have a theory this relates to my (mild) Aspergers and not being able to "read" other people, but I don't know. Does anyone have similar thoughts? I'd love to hear what other people think...

    Think I am an aspie

    I work in the educational system with special needs children. I myself had a somewhat rocky childhood, despite being considered smart, especially from late adolescence on. Once, in a panic attack at a sales job years ago, (a common occurrence for me in the old days) a co-worker who was...

    Hey Everyone My names Luca Fox and later this year I'm planning on making a documentary on Asperger's syndrome. I want to ask the community to hear what you feel hasn't been discussed in previous documentaries and what subjects you feel are important to bring to light. I would love to hear what...
