| Hi ozzie_girl Welcome to WP. :D You have compiled quite a list. Some seem quite AS while others (for me at least) appear to be something else. Of course, there is a lot of variation with AS. So, not everyone had exactly the same indicators. I have had a formal diagnosis but had to wait months for an... |

| I wouldn't exactly call it a fetish. It isn't like you can just advertise for a lactating female who is prepared to share her supply of milk (or maybe you can :wink: ). Anyway, yes I have done it as an adult. I've got two 20+ year old children. When my wife was breast-feeding them, I occassionally i... |

| Welcome Emmi I found out I was AS only a couple of months ago and I'm 55. So, your dx is rather early in my books. Of course, they didn't know about AS when I was growing up. Like OddFinn, I tend to use both hands. At work, I have the mouse on the left with the buttons swapped. At home, it is set up... |

Nice to see that we are well scattered. There seems to be at least one person from every state. So far, I think we are missing someone from NT and ACT.
I'll have to try to keep this thread near the top by frequent postings.  |

I just read a forum that wanted to know where Aussie Aspies were from. So, I decided to start a new thread for us (and anyone else interested in Australian things).
So, welcome to all. |

Melbourne here. About 10 min by tram from the heart of the city. A really fantastic place to live.
There certainly are a lot of Aspies in Oz. We should probably create our own discussion forum. Maybe I'll set one up. |

| Hi general_piffle I've only just read your post (the first one). I know exactly how you felt. I'm 55 and only just been diagnosed a couple of months back. I faced the diagnostic procedure with the same type of trepidation. I also though, "What if it isn't AS?". That certainly preyed on my mind too. ... |

Now, at least, we all know what it was. So, don't get too stressed about it in front of family. Maybe you need to... |

| Welcome vee Yes it is, to some extent where AS people can gather. Of course, people with AS partners are more than welcome and it is probably one of the best places to vent. My wife (NT) and I (AS) have been married for almost 35 years and only just recently found out I was AS. Helped explain quite ... |

| Given your last post, my comment may be irrelevant as you may not be back. You say that you've fallen in love with a man who isn't your husband. The fact that he has AS is somewhat irrelevant. I'd like to know how long you have felt this way about him and whether he'd declared himself before you hug... |

| Hi Eliza I hope you get something out of this site. I'm an AS male. I think this site is for all who are impacted. Otherwise, why would they have the options for NTs to join in. There seem to be quite a lot of NT females around. Maybe you should start a thread with a suitable title and see what happ... |

| Even when I stretched sections of my scrotum completely taut and flat while shaving, I still somehow got little cuts when using the regular skin-contact part of my electric razor that never, ever nicks my face. It's just a completely different kind of skin. What I really need for this job is an adj... |

| Hey OddFinn Welcome to the world of those who've lived (undiagnosed) for years. I'm 55 and was diagnosed with AS a bit over a month ago. It definitely explained a lot of what had happened in my life so far. Unlike you, my wife was actually the driving force behind my going for a diagnosis. She'd won... |

| I love wandering in remote areas alone. I use to go camping by myself in a mountainous region. It was great at night hearing the kangaroo calls (I live in Australia) and the sound of gum tree limbs breaking off and crashing to the ground. Plus, the night sky was magical. |
