| Ooh, I dunno if I can help you there, because I tend to be in the same boat. When I get in a stressful situation, or situations, my mind goes in circles looking for an answer. But there never is a clear-cut answer. Most of the time, these situations involve other people who I cannot understand their... |

| By the way, the whole population aren't just divided into NT and Autistic - there are possible conditions people can have that aren't Autistic but aren't classified as NTs either, like Mental Retardation, ADHD, Fragile-X Syndrome, and many more. Would anyone consider dating people with those sorts ... |

| Looking younger is a problem? Lol. Sometimes? Depends if you like to get IDed I don't think young looking has anything to do with ASD, there are NTs out there that look quite young. People think I am younger. As a kid people thought I was older because I looked older. I have childlike qualities. Ye... |

| Out of curiosity, I often am told that I look much younger than my real age. When I asked, one person explained to me that most older persons are meaner, in a way, than I am. Well, I know for me I can come across as being socially immature as well as having complete strangers tell me I look younger ... |

Diagnosed at 18 with mild Asperger's (why mild, I have no clue, and never heard of it before)
Previously no disability diagnoses. I was classified as gifted though. |

| The way I see it, just like NTs, every aspie is different. Some are extroverts and some are introverts. But just because you love to socialize, you are not exempt from the social problems that introvert aspies may have. Even if you feel that socializing is the most natural thing in the world for you... |

I'm not sure if I understand the question. There are a few ways that those on the Autistic spectrum tend to think: visually, pattern-wise, and verbal... Is that what you're getting at?
I tend to learn verbally, but think in patterns... |

But for me, pride means sharing it with other people. I am very careful with whom I come out as an aspie, bec... |

I was working two jobs initially, then got an offer for a third that I took up. But I was notified of my schedule late, and the pay is worse, so I basically am not ab... |
