    Trouble with Change

    Hello, my fellow aspies. <3 My therapist and I are trying to figure out some coping techniques for when I encounter something new/a disruption in my daily routine. In the past, I've struggled a lot on vacations, and I want to be able to enjoy those experiences like the rest of my family can...

    Coping...

    In my life, I don't feel lonely or alone. Never really felt that way even when I was single. Interaction on a face-to-face, personal level, gets too draining and too involved. Life's too short for all the drama that others bring into it...so working or creating is far more satisfying than to...

    Lost interests

    Hi there Community. Like many aspies, I'm really dependant on my interests. They are the constant, precious freedom of thought and feelings where you can just dwelve into, experiment, play with ideas without the care in the world. I'm also sure that many of you know this state where they leave...

    Sensory overload first-aid kit

    Hi there Community, So, yesterday and during the whole night I got a really bad case of not-so-complete shutdown. I'm sure many of you know the feeling. I thought that maybe we could create a topic where we would post our impressions of our sensory overload moments, as well as ways in which we...
