    A re-introduction of sorts

    Hi gang. My name is Corrinne but most people call me Cory. I am 28 years old and I am originally from England but I live in California, US, with my husband. I do not have a "formal" diagnosis of Aspergers as of yet but I do have professional opinion after a long period of observation (from my...

    Tony Attwood's Strategies to Improve Social Understanding and Friendship Skills

    Hi all, This is my first blog post on AC. I feel like I haven't blogged anywhere in ages so I may be a bit rusty. For my first post, I want to share an interesting video that I found called "Making Friends - Strategies to Improve Social Understanding and Friendship Skills." The video...

    The feeling is Mutual

    I have lived for many years with the unshakable and certain knowledge that I was alone. That no-one would ever truly understand my world, my experience, my truth. For two weeks now, I have been rather off balance - my certainty has disappeared and normality has yet to return, because return it...

    Hello from Lostville....

    I have a five year old son - bright in unbelievable ways, but at times not with the world...I am struggling to get school to "see" him as more than a kid with ADHD, which I am not sure he has. I know that his future is bright but it seems so hard to thwart the self image damage coming down the...

    Keeping social commitments

    So, I've been here for a while and I've noticed that I'm (obviously) not the only one that often dreads social interaction while at the same time craving it. What I'm interested in is how you maintain the balance between having enough alone time and making sure your social needs are met and...

    Finding friends / people to live with

    Hi, I've joined this site on behalf of a friend. He is 21 and has asperges. He is wanting to meet other like-minded people to make friends, perhaps a girlfriend, and potentially one day someone / some others to do shared living with? He is a lovely friendly guy who loves computer games and...

    It all must be resulted by meeting people!

    I know such things as making friends and experiencing the love that would/should lead to marriage has to involve meeting people, but most of the time, I get too caught up in ideals, that I would constantly be (as the phrase goes) looking a gift horse in the mouth! Music is there to be heard...

    Reaching out, messages, likes And Suspicion?

    So it is probably no surprise to most members here that I reach out to people a lot. I message people, write things in profile pages, extend well wishes or birthday wishes and click the like buttons a lot. Over the years I have read many statements by fellow aspies expressing suspicion when...

    Family Groups: Fear, Friends, and...Love

    "We're like family." Conventionally this is said of friends who are closer than usual, whatever that is. Everyone has a "family of origin." At its smallest, that's a single parent. An "extended family" includes in-laws and cousinly degrees so faint that lineage depends upon social convention...
