    Approaching the end of the holidays...

    In New Zealand, students get 2 weeks off every 10 or 11 weeks. Right now it's around 1 PM on Friday, the 12th of October, AKA the third to last day of the 2 week holiday. I found myself missing school for all of the holidays, which is unusual to say the least. I don't dislike school. My teachers...

    Do people talk to you like you are a baby/idiot?

    Honestly this is one of my biggest annoyances about being on the spectrum. When I inform people about my autism, they then feel like they have to speak to me as if they are speaking to a child. Like talking slower and more carefully as if to make sure I understand what they are saying. When...

    Trapped in my mind

    The inner dialogue of me, a socially anxious and autistic teenage girl who's trapped in her own mind. With nobody to talk to at school, my best bet is to talk to myself, internally. And then share that internal dialogue.

    Gen Y does X-Files

    I'm a Millennial (Gen Y) born in 1995 who loves The X-Files and no longer felt welcome on Tumblr. In addition to sharing my acting journey, I'd like to share my love of an American cult-classic TV show with any AF member who's interested.

    Please help me. Last year of IB now

    Hi, my name is Albert I'm 18 years old, and was diagnosed back in May, which is quite a late diagnosis. I am currently attending my 6th school, in the fifth country I'm living in, and am currently in my last year of IB. I did redo a year of IB as I had switched schools. The last one was...

    Why are people so quick to make assumptions about us

    *sorry for any typos* So I've only been diagnosed with aspergers for a short time now so I havent had a lot of treatment yet and my social skills still need a lot of improvement. I'm terribly socially awkward, and don't know how to behave in social settings. My heart beats out of my chest, I...

    Can aspergers and BPD coexist?

    I'm 20, diagnosed with aspergers. This may sound like a crap story but I need to get it out and don't have anyone to tell. I have always shown signs of bpd, but I'm not too sure if it can coexist with autism. I have extreme issues with being overly attached to significant others, and I also have...

    Procrastination, organisation and getting started

    Does anyone have trouble starting a task. A lot of the time once I start it's OK, but starting and getting organised is a challenge. For some reason I avoid creating a routine for myself. Does anyone have some hints?

    About other people

    I have learned many lessons while travelling. I don’t want to turn this blog into a sanctimonious, holier-than-thou collection of lectures by someone who thinks they know better then you, because I don’t, so I won’t. But, I just wanted to make a little note of what I have learned about People. I...

    I feel angry when strangers approach me.

    For those that feel the same way but know a way to cope with it, I would like to know your secret. I try my best to avoid people but the harder I work on avoiding, the more angry I get when somebody comes around the corner and says "Good morning!" I never respond the way that they would like...

    weight

    Sometimes, I'm so overwhelmed that I shut down. The words don't want to come, and everything feels overstimulating, and all I feel like I can do is space out. No thoughts really. Not much feelings either, or so it would seem to an outsider. Really though, it's like the volume is turned to a...

    Hello, just diagnosed

    I am 40 years old mom of 3 kids. I have just received my diagnosis of Aspergers this morning. It's not a huge shock as I've suspected it for a while. 2 of my children are on the spectrum so it was while researching their needs that I came across "symptoms" that were me. I'm rambling ...

    Dating advice...

    I've been dating my 20 year old aspie bf for almost 4 months (i'm 23 but not on the spectrum). I can definitely say he is the most genuine, loving, honest, and patient man I have ever been with. Our relationship is very mature (communication-wise), and I honestly dont think I could've found...
