OMFG! I didn't think Asperger's could give me any more "flashbulb" moments (there have been so many) but here it is again. I can scarcely believe it. Yes, I'm sure this is an AS trait. No, I'm sure its not psychic. I'll read the other posts later when I've slept, but... I told my new therapist last ...

I, too, find the assumption that Aspies are somehow subhuman, deeply offensive. Especially considering that many of our problems being understood by the general public stem from their intellectual inability to comprehend how we differ from them, even when it is explained to them. Also considering th...

Yes!! ! Even talking to people for a while tired me out, and the more I have to interact with more people, the more it exhausts me. Regarding agoraphobia. I'm not expert, but I think the connection is indeed due to the forced socialising not the "being outside" thing. - you could test this. Find the...

Thanks for all the kind replies, you've been very helpful! I think I'll see how CBT therapy works for me and not rush, but I believe sometime I'll go for a proper DX, at least people will have to believe me then. And in the meantime I'll just keep it to myself - that'll be easy, I'm very self relian...

Hey Xander, I feel your pain. Having found a way to be happy despite the problems you've had, it must seem insanely unfair to start losing your hair now. I'm not sure if this is what Sluice meant - he's right about not living just to please others - but I think you really want to be the guy with the...

I'm actually here to check my recent "Help!" post which is kinda similar. Just wanted to say that even after trying again, my best friend just told me until I have an official DX I "might be wrong" and that I shouldn't tell anyone. I guess now I know how Gay people from the 1950s felt, if I was ever...

I don't feel quite ready to write this, but I'm having a kind of internal meltdown because I feel conflicted and kind of alienated. Please advise me! I'm new to this site. I've always been weird and always had MANY aspie traits, now that I've started to read about them (always looking for a more com...
