    I’m lost.

    I’ve been diagnosed autistic since I was 9. So It’s sad that there is still so much I don’t know about it. So I joined this forum in the hopes that I might learn about it. My parents aren’t really accepting of it. They know I’m diagnosed, but they still won’t educate themselves on it, or...

    My wife is in a group for spouses of people with Asperger's. One of the moderators of the group, in addition to having a husband on the spectrum, has a son with non-verbal autism. Her neighbor has continually harassed her and told her to lock her child in a shed. I'm sharing the link to her...

    New study shows no link between autism and gut problems

    It's very popular to assume that autism and gut problems are connected, but this new study shows otherwise.

    Hey folks (:

    Hey! I go by Leago. I’m a teenager and got diagnosed with autism a while ago. I’m excited to be here and discuss things with you fellow Aspies! One of the beliefs I hold about my diagnosis is that it is not a disability. Controversial, I know, but I don’t want to keep being told that I am less...

    Ableism in autism research

    I don't think anyone here will be surprised very much by this analysis of an autistic autism researcher about how much ableism is persistent in the autism research field.

    Hello! Desperately Seeking Advice...

    Hi everyone! I'm going to try to be as thorough as I can (and as brief as I can). It would mean a whole lot to me to hear your feedback. I'm going to just lay it all out here... I have always felt different. Sometimes I have felt special and sometimes I have felt inferior. Sometimes I have...

    Autism Consecrated

    For all of you autistic Catholics out there, there's something I think you would find interesting called Autism Consecrated. It's dedicated to St. Thorlak, the patron saint of Iceland who several people highly suspect was autistic, and there are a few autism-related prayers dedicated to him...

    Relatable Music

    I would imagine a similar thread might already exist but I couldn't find it. Are there songs that you find particularly relatable, especially to experiences, feelings, traits you might have as a result of being of the spectrum? I have a bunch of songs that feel relevant and I've included a few...
