    Late/missed diagnosis- Identity Crisis ( Hi )

    Hi Everyone, I’m new here & am really happy to find a group to connect in that isn’t Facebook or Twitter. Social media tends to get too overwhelming for me. I usually stay off of it for 60-80% of the year. I just turned 32 and have had quite a dark ride in this lifetime. I have been...

    Could I be an aspie?

    Hi everybody, I've posted a couple of times in this forum about my boyfriend, who is an aspie. As a brief update, things are great between us and really love each other. The funny thing is that in the last couple of months I started to wonder whether I am an aspie myself. After reading a few...

    Craving touch but afraid of intimacy. Your thoughts?

    Hi all, I have looked around the forums for a few days and there is something I noticed. Many people here don’t like to be touched, apart from people they know well. For me, it’s the other way around. I like being touched when a connection to me is not the point of the action. Things like...

    Autistic Females.

    Autism in Females One in 68 children in the U.S. is affected by autism—but new research suggests that current diagnostic methods overlook girls, meaning even more kids may be on the spectrum. Behavioral and preliminary neuroimaging findings suggest autism manifests differently in girls...

    my experience with self diagnosis and childhood emotional neglect, and why those things correlate.

    some people can never imagine why i would accuse my parents of childhood and teenage emotional neglect. unless you had a dysfunctional family growing up and constantly lived in hard times, you would never be able to know the neglect that some of us experience as children. i was never physically...

    Friendships - usual insecurities? Looking for some insight.

    Hello everyone! Ever since I discovered I might be aspie I've been really pondering on my past social relationships. It's always been tricky - as a child I had a few play friends, but usually I would play by myself and didn't get along easily with more commanding girls. In middle school, I had a...

    Aspies with EDS in Belgium

    Hello! I have recently been diagnosed with Asperger's at the grand old age of 46 (2 years ago). I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) as well as a few other things to add to the mix. I discovered a strong link between these conditions when researching muscle problems in EDS, which led to...

    The movie of our lives

    There's several situations that worry me at the moment, but a few seconds ago, I got swept by "my" locker at the pool where I come to swim everyday. It looked beautiful, simple and colored coordinated. It could become an original picture of these times, not just mine, but everybody's. Like those...

    I have the most important job in the world

    I read a simple question in a thread here in AspiesCentral: ‘Do you love yourself?’ ‘What kind of question is that? Of course I do’, was my immediate thought. Unfortunately, most people answered either ‘no’ or ‘yes except’. I was appalled. I haven’t always had the best self-esteem. Just this...

    Post Hiatus

    I have taken a hiatus from this blog/ forum mostly because I felt so discouraged...I went to therapy and it was an introductory session so a lot of questions about my life and past. I felt like the therapist wanted me to come up with my own conclusions about my "issues." The session was way too...

    23 year old female, new diagnosis & unrealized social deficits due to previous substance abuse

    Hi all! My name is MB and I am a 23-year-old student in my second year of a Master's in Social Work program (not the status quo, I realize). I began going through the formal process of diagnosis with a psychologist who specializes in Asperger's (or ASD now) after being referred to the...

    Discovering Aspergers and finally discovering my "self".

    A few months back I met with a psychologist to help me cope with social anxiety in hopes of overcoming my social issues so I could lead a normal life. After 45 minutes of what seemed to be small talk and getting to know one another - something I generally can't do and very rarely participate in...
