I was 34 when I found out I had ASD. I knew something was "different" about me most of my life but never thought to put a name to it. Simply put - it was misery - I couldn't relate to anyone and I thought differently about pretty much everything; it seemed as though my ideas were just weir...

ADOS is not a definitive test, it is simply one of many diagnostic tools a professional can use to diagnose ASDs. For example ADOS is not going to test the presence of absence...

In 9th grade we were discussing "The Raven" by Poe. I normally kept my mouth shut during such discussions, however this particular time I was called upon and asked what I thought about it. I relayed my thoughts that Poe was a sad individual whom through an inebriated mind set, probably Ab...

Shalom Aleichem, Chanan! First and foremost, if you're worried about whether or not you're autistic, don't be. There is a definitive test out there called the ADOS-2 that you ought to take (in person) which will let you know for sure. I took it just last week and, even though I tried to answer as ne...

I know it must be very difficult to bear all of this. There's nothing you did wrong and it isn't your fault. I'm not in agreement with the whole "Trans is normal" thing; I don't think it is. As a man with Asperger's I pride myself on being logical and, though many may argue (and that's fin...

Thomas, I'm new too and was just diagnosed yesterday at the age of 36. I long suspected something was off but I didn't really want to be labeled. I understand your perspective - the friendlessness, the pointless road ahead, the apparent lack of purpose, etc... I guess it's up to you to create your o...
