    I Am Not Understood...

    I am not understood now, and have NEVER been understood by anyone other than me on the deepest level. I am just wondering how many people with Autism/Asperger's have the same problem... I finally came to a solution, which I will share later, but I want to know how many of you know you are not...

    How do they know?

    Ok, I want to say up front, I have a problem wording things, please have mercy, and this is nothing but pure inquisitiveness. 1. Autistics (NDs)(all levels, supposedly) have varying degrees of trouble putting their feelings and emotions into words 2. NT'S don't understand NDs, are different...

    'Preaching' not talking

    Hi everybody. This is my first ever online autism forum. I read the thread about Aspie speech, and joined because while some described characteristics or 'problems' rang a bell to me, nobody mentioned my problem so I thought I would. Maybe somebody has a similar one? I have been accused of...

For two weeks now, I have been rather off balance - my certainty has disappeared and normality has yet to return, because return it...

    Do people think mistake your traits for rudeness?

    I'm really tired of being called rude and selfish for things I do unconsciously because I really do try to be a good person. I try to talk to my dad about stuff that's bothering me (e.g: being put in a new physics class in college, because the teacher isn't engaging and I'm not learning...
