| I think this bill fits me or I'm NT with loads of Aspergers traits in my youth and teens. I'm grateful to my Mum who still gets regular phone calls by me checking my take on situations is OK. She's really struggled to understand me but has gave great advice & made me feel loved. I recall being f... |

| I wish I could write so well in another language. Sorry to hear of your troubles. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You may find reading some of the threads helps. There's lots of great advice. I think it's great you were trying to make things easier and it worked a little. Keep trying different th... |

| Thanks for the response. I like your thinking. Do you suppose it's possible to behave like the child I described (delayed speech through choice, practically mute during emotional events, excessive sleeper from birth, approached everything at break neck speed, very accident prone but never cried, dou... |

| What test do you guys feel is best at accurately diagnosing Aspergers? Does anyone else really struggle to answer the questions as they can't really envisage the situation they're asking about or feel that their answer would be either extreme depending on a little more detail? Furthermore, do you th... |

| Thanks for clarifying. Your initial response had me wondering if my new approach is what everyone else has been doing all these years. There's a good chance many do. As I got into the swing of my new approach to work, four Colleagues individually advised they had thought I was a Reporter or Governme... |

| I'm all for further research. Feel free to add me to the list. I home test as having Aspergers, the local charity concurred. My GP said I tested negative but their track record across the board is poor at best. As a 16-year-old with porcelain skin they questioned whether I was sure I wasn't a 32 yea... |

| Could you expand? Sad because I should have been doing this all along or sad because I've found need to do it to fit in? Better yet, am I way off with either assumption? |

Here's what I've taken from it: × Your work colleagues don't want you showing them up so don't outshine them in terms of ideas &/or speed. If you're lucky enough to lear... |

| Sounds like you've been given a bit of a bum hand with certain family members. We've no doubt all got a host of difficulties to try and navigate within our families. I'd try to stop focusing on their behaviour and think about myself. Ascertain who you want to be and be that person. If you've encount... |

| I think it's because many people have previously come to change their mind about contributions they have made. They either didn't realise the possible consequences or had a change of heart. Why not go for discretion and reevaluate your stance in a few months. If I were you I'd go with discretion. Wh... |

| Quiet_dove I think you may benefit from a tip my Mum gave me: Save your next response(s) as drafts. In a further 24 hours repeat the process. I've never responded to anything I feel passionately about straight away since. If I hardly care about it the next day I say my piece. If I still get emotions... |

I found you to be emotional about a situation which is heartbreaking and you reacted poorly to words that di... |

| I've always found men easier to interact with. They seem to be more straightforward. I get the impression the boys see me as one of them too. The women I meet who have a heard mentality seem to really struggle with me. They live by a set of social rules I have no interest in following. The 'bitchy w... |

I've only told my partner and Sister I'm conviced i have it & want it to be private. My family and I were initially horrified someone had suggested I had Aspergers but acknowle... |
