    Lurkers, come in from the cold. Are you Aspies or Aspie curious and part of the tribe?

    You don't have to interact here, unless you want to. Yet you could lurk inside Aspies Central, and become members, all it takes is signing up. You might even make contact with others who have similar interests, and discover that interacting with people is not so terribly frightening. Perhaps...

    "Oh you're just faking it!"

    Have any of you other Auties ever been told that you were just "faking it" to get attention? Because recently someone told me that I wasn't really Autistic ("I'm too old"), and that I'm just "going through a phase and am just doing it for attention." This was, obviously, very hurtful, as I am...

    Coming out as Aspie to mother

    So I have spent the last 2 weeks doing research on ASD, because an acquittance suggested I might have autism. After doing a lot of research ( I have a whole composition note book filled with symptoms and whether or not I share those symptoms ) I've self-diagnosed as Aspie. I want to get an...

    As an Aspie/Autie do you know who you are?

    In my life, looking back at the past I've found that my personality is malleable and not quite real. At school I was student, working I was various things, artist, chef, salesperson, waitress, newspaper carrier, babysitter. Have held a lot of jobs in my life, and during that time I identified...

    Shutdowns/Meltdowns---What are they? Do all adults with ASD have them?

    I'm a 26 year-old female and I'm trying to determine whether I'm a high functioning autistic or not. I have 35 of the 44 symptoms described in Rudy Simone's book Aspergirls. Except... I don't have angry meltdowns or shutdowns. I get very depressed sometimes but that's it. Does the fact that I...

    What characters do/did you find relatable?

    What characters that you've watched, read or listened made you feel happy or less alone with your diagnosis? Like what characters did you find relatable as a child and up to now. I remember as a small kid I related to Fumble from Happy Feet, Fluttershy from mlp and Luna Lovegood in the Harry...

    This is kind of embarrassing, but I don't really know what I'm supposed to feel

    So... I recently went to a self-defense workshop that was 3 and 1/2 hours long. You weren't allowed to wear tanktops, just T-shirts. We worked in groups of three and there were lots of people in a small-ish gym/dojo. I was getting along really well with my group and at the end I was putting my...

    Hi all, As an individual who's dealt with Asperger's for the past 12 years, I've struggled so much with making and finding friends my own age. I don't talk to much to anyone my age outside of work or school. My biggest struggle of all, which has essentially fueled the fire, is the loss of...

    Autism and inanimate objects?

    Anyone else get attached to inanimate objects? Such as Keychains, pens, pencils, bags or purses, etc. I noticed that sometimes I get attached to inanimate objects. Almost like one would get attached to a stuffed animal. An example would be: I bought a Keychain at Meijer, it was a fuzzy...
