| It is very uncomfortable. I am terrified of my husband b/c he gets n a rage when I don't submit. I submit for my kids because we need a home and they need a father. I have gone to gyno and they can't find anything wrong. The Dr. prescribed me progesterone but the scary side effects scare me from usi... |

Can't say how much I hate it. My hub does not understand. I just try to go somewhere else in my mind and endure it for as long as I can b/c I know if he goes I will be alone.
Touch and smell are too much for me. Also, I carry a grudge for centuries and my anger gets in the way. |

| I am a sub teacher and the students always ask me where I am from. I live 245 miles in the south from where I grew up. Until I found out about asp dx, I thought I talked proper. Black people said I sound like a "white girl". Now, I believe the weird sound of voice has to do with the aspie traits. I ... |

| Definitely, volunteer at as many places as you can. I am a sub teacher and wanna be full-time teacher. You are on the right track. In my experience schools want to know how much experience you have actually working with students. Also, try to volunteer in public schools. They are always looking for ... |

| I agree about the feeling of unemployment. I am not "unemployed". I have a job as a substitute teacher. I like the kids but I don't make very much and some of the rougher schools cause me tons of anxiety. I feel like I want to run at top speed, jump in my car and head homeward. I am lucky that my hu... |

| I have disabled my doorbell because even the surprise sound of notification irritates me. I believe everyone should give 3 days notice so I can prep. Sometimes, I see tv shows where friends are constantly stopping by to hang out. I want a couple of friends but not people who stop by randomly. I hate... |

| Maybe your moms are Aspies too or maybe they have some other mental irregularity. I know how you all feel because my gr-mother raised me and she was not the warmest or most sensitive. Now, I think she had aspergers and did not know it. In a way I feel superior to her and all other family member who ... |

| My 9 year old son was just dx and I dx myself. I had suspected this dx for several years but a doctor and co-worker said no. In a sense I don't see a reason to know because I feel that there is no cure and no hope. Only now I know I'll never get to live in the state I want to move to in my older yea... |

| Thanks Wolf and Mountain. I appreciate your kindness. And they say Aspies cannot understand what other people feel. I feel that a gigantic trick has been played on me at 43 years of age. I just had this picture in my mind of a Thanksgiving dinner with my children and grandchildren in 20 years. I jus... |

| This is a rant. If you are the type to get depressed or super-duper sensitive SKIP this post now. I am a newly self-diagnosed and I am hurting so bad. I am just venting. I just figured out in the last two weeks that my two kids are aspies, I'm a aspie and my husband probably has a touch of aspie. At... |
