    Are many people with Asperger's scapegoated by family and society?

    Were you scapegoated by your family or by people you thought of as friends? Were you the one who was excluded or discussed as problematic or difficult or strange? Do you think it might have been because you had Asperger's? Have recently come to the conclusion that being the family scapegoat or...

    Outlook On Life

    I'm curious to know what people's general outlook on life is, very high level - beit positive or negative. I've come to realise over the last few years that I'm a very positive person, I rarely get angry and I'm more willing to just accept (most) things for what they are. But with this...

    I need some advice with social issues in middle school

    Before we get into this, I'm gonna ask that you read the whole post and give me advice, especially if you've been in my shoes. I'll try to keep it short, but sorry if it's a bit lengthy and emotional. Pretty much, I've always had issues with bullying and friends because of my Aspergers, and...

    Aspergers??

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure whether it's Aspergers or not, but I've always felt I was just really different from everyone else and until I recently started researching this topic I hadn't ever come across a group of people who understood some of the things I experience every day. I've been...

    Sense of humour.

    A nice light airy Friday thread about humour, I'd love to hear what tickles your funny bone. Word play and mimicking tend to get to me, silly noises.. Free sha voca doo... But then on the other hand, I found say Deadpool to be quite mundane - which was widely rated as being rather funny...

    "Half-Wondering" (Am I Really An Aspie?)

    Hi there! Again... So two days ago or so I joined this site. I wasn't very detailed in my introductory thread. At the end I said that I believe I have Asperger's and that while my neurodiverse and neurotypical traits are of a similar number (ND Score: 110 of 200, NT Score: 107 of 200. That's...

    OCD

    Guys...

    I hand-picked a can of Spaghettios at the store and planned a specific time and day to eat them. And my brother ate them without telling me. It's an autistic nightmare.:eek:

    Autism simulation opinions and ideas!

    Hey guys! I didn't know where to post this so here I go. For a big project at my high school I'm going to do a 30 minute simulation/game about autism so people know what it's like. I have Asperger's so I know what it's like already. I was thinking of doing an obstacle course of some sort of...

    Exhaustion from every day activities

    For a long time I thought that this was something that generally everyone felt, or that yes, I'm more tired than everyone, but I could attribute it to bad health. I'm a rather healthy person though, and have been tested for things like diabetes and even cancer, anything that would explain my...

    My Dad trying to correct my speech

    This is a little tough to explain. When I'm talking to people that I don't know very well, I have no speech issues because I try to talk "normally". However, when I'm home I talk in a way that feels natural and easy to me, like I have a habit of tacking an 's' on the end of the last word of my...

    Hello, I am Joe

    My name is Joe, I'm 38 and married with 3 children: Atlas (11), Achilles (9), and Tova (3). Atlas is a little hyper-sensitive, but definitely not on the ASD. Tova MAY be very HFA Aspergers. Achilles is hyposensitive, and most probably Aspergers. Extremely verbal, he has the tendency to adopt...

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    The guy I've been seeing has a very unusual way of communicating. In person or on text he will not engage in normal conversation, there's never really any "hi, how are you?", he will just vomit up a torrent of highly detailed but uninteresting (to me) information about very specific subject...
