    Hallo from Denmark!

    Heya peeps! I'm Anders, but go by Andy on the internet. Got diagnosed about 5 years ago with Aspergers, and going through some things at the moment. So I thought I'd join a forum and get some of the thoughts put to words and presented for some fresh perspectives from people who're in similar...

    Hello, newly diagnosed and struggling a bit....

    Hello, This is my first time reaching out to an online support group for anything at all. But, my therapist suggested that searching for a community to connect with (even one online) might help with the struggles I've been recently experiencing. I am 35 years old, and only recently diagnosed...

    Saint Ubald Baldassini and Aspergers

    A couple of years ago, I was referred to Saint Ubald as a Saint to turn to for one who struggled with anger issues. I looked him up but couldn't find much, (granted, I didn't make too sweeping a search of him.) however I did notice that one of his patronages is Autism. I've looked him again and...

    Advice in "bridging the gap" with an NT

    Hello everyone, after struggling for quite a while with disparities between myself and my girlfriend it finally made me realise (and after profuse encouragement from my girlfriend) to seek advice. Particularly, in the realm of "understanding" to say. We've been together for about 3 years and 4...

    My aspergers boyfriend is behaving distant

    Me and my boyfriend with aspergers had a fight because I did not respond to his messages fast enough when I was out with a friend. He deleted every message he sent and we didn't talk for 2 weeks, so I messaged him again and I went crazy because he ignored my texts. I knew he was angry but he...

    Helloooooo

    Hello everyone, I'm a 20 y/o Malaysian/Polish mongrel, currently residing in Poland. I first self-diagnosed myself with Aspergers at about 15 years of age, though as someone who spends a lot of time reflecting on the natural biases in my own and human thought in general, I've always had doubts...

    My brother yells at video games and I have a rabbit downstairs near him.

    Hi guys, so my brother is 19 (going to be 20 in july) Now since covid-19 he has been downstairs a lot at his computer playing video games with his friends via the internet. Normally I wouldn't have a issue. But he is constantly making loud sudden noises such as loud clapping, hitting his hands...

    Analyzing my first Corona meltdown

    Yesterday, it's been approximately five and a half months since my last meltdown. Today, it's been zero days since my last meltdown. Several factors have piled up that eventually caused it - and I am a tad bit ashamed to admit that all of them stem from the current global situation. Since I...

    At a stand still in a ND relationship.

    Hello all! I’m going to dive right in and get straight to the point. For the last eight months I have been involved with a wonderful, bright, funny, smart Aspie man. We are a gay couple (I use the word couple loosely). He has Aspergers and severe PTSD from combat in Afghanistan (diagnoses...

    10 Year Old Aspie Son is Freaked out by Makeup (Update)

    Hey guys, I got some good advice on the last thread and decided to talk to my son about his issue with makeup again. I asked him to draw some pictures of how he sees people wearing makeup, and unsurprisingly the pictures he drew looked more like monsters than people. He said that red lips looked...

    10 Year Old Aspie Son is Freaked out by Makeup

    Not sure where else to post this correct me if I'm wrong. My son is ten years old and in fourth grade. He has high functioning aspergers and tends to get upset easily at seemingly random things. One thing that makes him particularly unnerved is people wearing makeup. I used to wear a full face...

    I will need help soon :-)

    Hello everyone I come as a double act as I myself have Asperger's and my daughter is self diagnosed as high functioning. I have to self diagnose because I struggled so much getting a diagnosis for her. Recent psychologists have said "she meets most of the criteria but not all of it" because of...

    to be or to have - that it the question

    I am wondering how people describe themselves. Do we have Aspergers? or Are we Aspergers? For me the diffference is in the implication. - To have Aspergers sounds like it is something from which you can get cured/healed - To be Aspergers (to have it as a trait) suggests that it something that...

    Who has an Asperger's Diagnosis and is an Autodidact?

    I am researching for a writing project of mine and I am seeking accounts of Asperger's people who know what autodidactism is & would self-describe as one. I want to network and compare notes with other forum users. Thank you!

    My favorite ASD related article.

    Is Everyone on the Autism Spectrum? -- New York Magazine - Nymag This article calls out the armchair diagnosis of celebrities and historical figures and critiques the former DSM (The article is very U.S centric so it doesn't mention the ICD at all) Aspergers diagnosis for having too much "false...

    I tried stimming: Spinning rings

    When the general public (which is my floppy term for people who know about the existence of autism but not too much about what it means) thinks about stimming in autism, most will probably come up with rocking, or hand flapping and the like, maybe also audible stims if they have ever been on a...

    Trading Christmas for progress

    Not to be dramatic or anything but tomorrow is Christmas Eve (at least for the majority of people in the country I live in and traditionally my family). Christmas used to be a huge thing for me. Granted, I'm in my twenties so my childhood is not as far away as it is for other people. And for...
