| Yes, I have taught myself Russian to an intermediate level - writing, speaking, listening and understanding. I've been doing it for about 5 years now and, not to boast, but the small amount of native speakers with whom I've actually spoken (not online, but face-to-face) have all said that I speak it... |

| Ha, yes! I've been told throughout my life (20 years of age; I turn 21 tomorrow) that I look angry, upset, etc. I'll never forget this one time back in school, I was sitting on a bench during lunch break with my mates and one other classmate must've been walking past, and he said to me, "Dude, ... |

| I don't mean to hijack this thread by sharing my own life experiences, but the concept of planning "cunning" or just "smart" ideas rang very true for me. In recent times, I've been having talks with my mother about what I was like in my younger years. I still remember certain thi... |

| Ohhh yeeeaaah.. I can so totally relate. When I read the title of the post, I had one of those "THAT IS SO ME...:( " moments. As much as alcohol shouldn't be the answer, I do find that with a number of bottles in me (beer), it sort of disables the part of my brain (for the duration of bein... |

| Myriad, I haven't actually been tackling them as head-on as my psych suggested. I'd love to be able to, just like you, but cannot at the moment. When I say diagnosis, I mean for ASD, yes. Or whatever else the diagnoser happens to find in me... :) redrobin62, that's a really interesting phenomenon. C... |

| Yes - either social anxiety or low self-esteem (bullied at various schools for a long time), I tend to agree with you there. I have in fact talked to my psychologist about this issue in particular. I told him about how I even struggle with the issue at home just with family around, and his advice/in... |

| Hey Myriad, thank you for your reply! It is quite comforting to know that there are others out there with similar struggles. When you listen and you know for certain that no one else could hear it, do you still get the anxiety? Nowhere near as much, if at all. All I really do is go "ah yes... t... |

| Hey all, so here goes my second post on this ever-interesting forum. I'll start off by saying that in my first post I mentioned that I was diagnosed at a young age with Asperger's syndrome, but after talking to my mum recently, I have since found out that the doctor did not end up diagnosing me at a... |

| Thanks for your reply, Jensen. If anything, my mother's on the spectrum, not my father. His case is different - it's all work-related stress that built up to the point where he had to take stress/sick leave. He said that he does have similar thoughts to mine in his day-to-day life, but not to the de... |

| Hey all, just signed up to this forum. I was diagnosed with Asperger's at a fairly young age and I don't remember much of the session. Anyway, I've come here to hopefully get some insight or at least hear other peoples' stories/experiences about this phenomenon. So, I was talking to my dad today in ... |
