| I wasn't diagnosed until the age of 44, and I'm still grateful I discovered a framework to understand what made me different all that time. I don't think I was ready to hear a diagnosis much earlier; I wonder if it may have made me give up on my dreams. Back when I was a child, there was no diagnosi... |

Hello, thanks again for your feedback. I pared down the "wall of text" and added pictures to break it up more. Now I'll take a much needed break before getting more active on WrongPlanet.
Thanks again, Gord |

| Thanks for the no-nonsense feedback that gets right to the point. I had wondered about the "wall of text" thing myself but the message is so important. I already feel like I'm using as few words as possible so I guess I have lots of work to do.Changing the homepage so the pending release o... |

| Thanks for that information. Although WrongPlanet is an old friend to me it makes sense that I'm a new stranger to everyone here. Things are crazy with rapidly approaching deadlines for my book but when it all calms down I'll take some time to share an idea about stigma folks may find interesting ra... |

| Thanks for your reply. The banner photo is actually Lake Temiskaming in Ontario, Canada. I changed the background colour and text to make it easier to read as you suggested. 41 people read my post and you are the only one who responded. No one engaged with the site. Sound like you have a lot of medi... |

| :D Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with Asperger's as an adult several years ago and have found WrongPlanet to be a powerful source of support in times of confusion and distress. For that reason I wanted to notify the folks here about my emerging new website about stigma, trauma, and invalidation. I... |

| Hello everybody, I'm going through my own marriage difficulties right now after 16 years of being together. The thing that resonates for me most deeply in this thread is how important it is to be honest in the sense of sharing what I am thinking and feeling with her. She always tell me to share my &... |

| Hello there everyone. I am lucky enough to have won the love lottery and am married to a wonderful woman. We have been together for 16 years now, and one issue keeps coming up. She keeps getting hurt (and angry) because she observes that I become "giddy" and "escalated" around ot... |

| Hello, I'm curious what you mean by "a strategy to educate friends and partners" that will prevent you from having meltdowns. Educating the people around you about your autism can help them understand you, but it totally up to you to manage your emotions. Has your mentor been helping you w... |

| If you trust your therapist and feel relatively comfortable with her, then you have something to work with. You don't have to assume responsibility for the success of your sessions; just be honest with her. Share your moments of discomfort and just ask when you have questions. In the research I did,... |

| This is an interesting topic. I did some research on Asperger's/high functioning autism last year and although I am diagnosed with Asperger's did not reveal this to the participants until afterwards. Four of the six said they thought as much. They could not say how they could tell. I found a lot of ... |
