    I'm trying to come to terms with missing out due to Asperger's/dysfunctional family

    Hey guys. So lately I haven't been feeling the best lately. As for why its because I've been feeling a mix of negative emotions. Guilt, regret, anger, sadness and betrayed. And there's several reasons but it mainly has to do with some recent events in my life. It's a long story, so if you want...

    "Autistic" or "has Autism:

    How would you all like to be referred to? "Autistic/Aspie" or "has/with Autism/Aspergers"? I want to be called Autistic because when someone says I have/with Autism it feels like I have or with a disease like having or being with a cold, flu or some other disease. Or am I just being...

    Introduction I Guess

    My life has been pretty normal I went to a public school near my home town where I was quite literally "born and raised". However I've always been a weird kid and I never really knew why. Now I think I have found the answer but I'd like to post it on here to get a little closure i guess, also...

    Is autism the next human evolution?

    A little while ago I did a YouTube video on my autistic YouTube Creator channel sparking a debate whether autism is the next human evolution or not. I didn't have much to say since I truly believe autism had been around since the dawn of time, 4-5 million years ago to be exact. I even believe...

    Why am I angry at my past?

    Hi, I've recently come to terms and some sort of acceptance of myself having autism but over the last 3 years since I found out and started to learn and understand myself I've started to become angry with how I was treated as a child. Dont be mistaken, I wasn't abused or anything but there was...

    So we know about the "Social Guidelines" and what is considered "Normal" These days but what i want to know is what do you all do that you consider "normal" for yourself or what do you do that most others don't do? For instance I will play by imagining something in my head but on the outside...

    my experience with self diagnosis and childhood emotional neglect, and why those things correlate.

    some people can never imagine why i would accuse my parents of childhood and teenage emotional neglect. unless you had a dysfunctional family growing up and constantly lived in hard times, you would never be able to know the neglect that some of us experience as children. i was never physically...

    Positive reaction to Anne Hegarty off the Chase's revelation that she's Aspie.

    She's a contestant on the new series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here on ITV 1, and she's told the world she has Asperger's syndrome! So far though the response has been positive. She was also on Loose Women about a month ago discussing her Asperger's diagnosis, there might be footage of...

    How can I cope with loud booms?

    Where I live, there are constant surprise fireworks. This always triggers my anxiety and most times I have panic attacks. The part of me that knows it's probably fireworks goes away and I lose control. Sometimes when I'm sleeping I will wake up to phantom booms. I can tell it's not real...
