| I wouldn't exactly say fraud or imposter, maybe a feeling of disbelief. Ever since i was first diagnosed, i run down the list of traits i was supposed to have, and only half or maybe even a third of the traits were really applicable. Sometimes It;s just hard to get my head round this thing. I mean,... |

| Sometimes i think i may have been misdiagnosed. I do too. The thing is, I know it does affect me. For example, in secondary school I would struggle to find a group to work in for classes. In drama class, we had to choose our groups almost every lesson. It was alright for the first month, but after ... |

| There are many different ways to be good in life. Perhaps you don't have fancy things, but you are more genuine, kind and empathetic than people who do. What you are matters more than what you have. It's actually been proven that richer people are less empathetic, as they don't have to rely on other... |

Anja Melissa and Paul from Aspergers From the Inside are two that I can really relate to.
They just come across as very genuine.
Perhaps your just a more introverted autistic. |

| I had a stressful event happen three years ago from now. But ever since it happened I hadn't been able to stop overthinking it. It'd be the first thing I'd think waking up, whether I woke up early or late and the last thing I'd think about before going to sleep sometimes. And I'd think about it all ... |

| I've read that while autistic boys and men tend to have the kind of special interest that is usually associated with autism, like trains or technology, girls and women may be more likely to focus on a band, show, or celebrity, or on particular animals. These are generalities that will not apply to ... |

| If the subject of online safety can sometimes come across as somewhat dull, New Zealand did its best to grab people's attention by using “porn actors” as part of a new campaign. In the ad, a nude pair named Derek and Sue greet a hapless mother, telling her that her son has just been watching them o... |

| You are not wrong or right in thinking this way. Having friends who have other friends can be confusing, as they are already occupied with other people, so theres an unpredictable level of loyalty within the relationship. Some people find being in a friendship/relationship stimulating, some people ... |

| I just try to have hope and know that my brain is lying to me. I heard this analogy that when you spin around as a kid and you suddenly stop your vision starts to go cloudy and then darkness creeps in from the corners, almost as if it's a blinder. That's what suicidal thoughts are like. Darkness cre... |
