    Assumptions about autistic people

    Other people that I encounter have preconceived ideas about autism, that are not based in reality. They often react to our behavior or responses in interactions with others, and assume things that are not exactly accurate. #1. Don't assume I'm not listening because I'm not looking directly at...

    Adopted father has cancer, I'm not sad but I feel guilty

    I found out that my adopted father has lymphoma and I don't feel sad. I was abused and have stopped talking to most of the adopted family. I didn't feel happy finding out but I wasn't sad either. I don't know if this is because of autism or trauma. I do feel anxiety and guilt because I'm not...

    A Confusing Development

    For some reason, it's only just occurred to me to look up social anxiety. After hearing about the comparisons, the minimization, all of that, I actually looked up what it was. The scary and comforting thing is, is that I relate to that a lot. Who knew there was an actual name for the fear I feel...

    Dreams of autism

    Recently had a dream where I encountered people, who seemed just like me. They understood me, and we were all trapped in a large building the size of a city. Everyone wanted to find a way out, even a border collie I found running in a snowy area. I was carrying my cat, so she wouldn't get lost...

    Depression and acceptance

    Hello blog, it's been a while. Last time I posted an update I had just gone through a mini-psychotic break and I had just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Today I will be ranting a little, rather than posting clever and/or insightful and/or funny things. No grand things have happened to me...

    Does giftedness often co-occur with Aspergers?

    Hi, I’m just wondering if giftedness has any co-occurring relationship with Aspergers? I know a few gifted people with AS/HFA, so would there be any connection? I’m level 5 gifted (search if you don’t know), and have close to all Aspergers traits ( extremely likely Aspergers ) and thought that...

    Parents don't accept aspergers or any other condition

    My parents don't think that I have aspergers. Their reasons are: - Im 'just gifted' - All of my aspie traits are just 'gifted quirks' - A label will hinder you (I agree with this one) - Everyone struggles socially to an extent - My dad is likely an undiagnosed aspie who also has the traits. He...

    I'm new- do I have Aspergers?

    - I’m extremely shy and socially awkward, I don’t get social cues that everyone else just ‘gets’, like sarcasm and figurative phrases. - At least 3 times a day (I’m not exaggerating) people tell me “I was being sarcastic”. It drives me crazy that I can never seem to get it. - I am brutally...

    Just dropping in to share this link real quick - I think it's the only list I've gone down where I could agree with the author on EVERY point she hit, so I *think* this may indicate it's a pretty good generalized list of traits, even though I don't think she intended it to be as much of a...
