    Sensory token theory.

    Hi everyone, i wanted to share this. Ive heard many theorys that people with autism could use to explain our mental energy levels, and ability to cope with sensory input and social situations. Including spoon theory, and battery theory but neither really sat well with me. I felt that these were...

    If you don't know what you like how can you pick a job?

    Hello, I have always wondered what people with AS do for a job if they do in fact work. I have always worked in retail it is what I do now it is what I have done for well over 10 years. It is not the right job for me and I have known this for a while as it is really stressful and dealing with...

    Obsession Question

    I am "big" on obsessions. Since I learned recently I have Asperger's Syndrome, it helps to explain why I am big on them. I've had some wild ones in my life, beginning in childhood. My first obsession that I can recall was with soap operas. This was back in the late 1960's and 70's...

    Self-Diagnosed Female Seeking a Formal Diagnosis (Aspergers Syndrome)

    About four years ago, I was speaking with an older family friend and mentioned that I feel like I'm different to others. She has known me since I was born and has professed in social work. She told me that, particularly as a child she has noticed that I show traits of Aspergers syndrome. Having...

    Anyone familar with Transactional Analysis?

    Transactional Analysis has always interested me, since I read Eric Berne's book: "The Games People Play" years ago... Recently, after helping a friend out with a presentation of the subject, I found myself accompanying a therapist who is running some courses in the UK with a new take of TA -...

    Aspies and driving lessons?

    Topic. A few years back after I'd been diagnosed, I applied to the DVLA for a Provisional license to have driving lessons, but was refused because they said due to my disabilities I wouldn't be able to safely control a car, this was for a manual, and with my tendency to get mad easily, I'd be a...

    I'm new and a bit lost

    Hi all, I'm the partner of a man with Asperger's, and joined this site wondering if there is a spot for NT discussion regarding close relatives/partners with AS. My situation is probably a typical one, with perhaps some small differences. My AS partner is very loving, very caring. When we...

    Is anyone hyposexual?

    So I have like zero sex drive. I mean, I literally feel like nothing has changed since I was a kid. Physically, my body works just fine and I'm old enough to know that my feelings about it aren't gonna change. I'm just curious if this is a me thing or an aspie thing. I consider myself asexual...

    Discovering Aspergers and finally discovering my "self".

    A few months back I met with a psychologist to help me cope with social anxiety in hopes of overcoming my social issues so I could lead a normal life. After 45 minutes of what seemed to be small talk and getting to know one another - something I generally can't do and very rarely participate in...

    Overstimulation through emotions?

    So, ever since I heard about the Intense World Theory it's definitely raised questions because I feel like my emotions are way more intense than what someone else feels and with those intense emotions it's like an overload and I usually shut down and get terribly anxious and depressed and have...

    A NT females relationship with an Aspie

    Ok, I am in no way an expert. I do not have autism myself but have dated and been around a few who have Aspergers. I am in a relationship with a 19 year old male who has Aspergers. I do not agree with people who say he is suffering. He is a human after all. What traits that sometimes frustrates...

    Androgynous essence vs. gender dysphoria

    I am interested in the theory of 'Aspergirls' author Rudy Simone that Asperger girls tend to be androgynous in mannerisms, behaviour and essence. She argues that their thinking patterns and style of clothing may not be typically feminine. They may have an inability to empathise with the feminine...
