I will explain that I have had difficulty with other people all my life. I have had difficulty in hearing / understanding other's speech. Trying to put words that I d...

An artistic expression I created and posted around the time I joined Wrong Planet. I briefly created marketing audio / visual work for a client as a favor on the side from my normal job. When he and his wife saw this video as an example of my hobby, they cried. They thought I was presenting suicide ...

Warning - I have inattentive ADHD (what I call the "zen" version). I do not appear hyperactive to others, but my brain is always working. I needed to talk to someone tonight and I came to Wrong Planet. This post discusses the struggle to keep the job over sometimes a need to let my inner d...

Alex, have dates been set for this conference? I am very excited about this prospect for many reasons. I am ADD inattentive with other proclivities and hoping to attend and to bring friends / family on the spectrum. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=513040325396314 ("Drowning in Sensory Overload"...

Oooh this looks fun. A question to NTs: do you notice even the mildest of aspies, do they seem not right to you even if they're really subtle??? I am in my late '40s. I am inattentive ADHD (only diagnosed in 2011). I was reunited last year with a beloved childhood friend after several decades apart...

Absolutely love the idea Alex. Did not know such conferences did not exist. I like the "con" thinking too. Having been to "Dragoncon" in Atlanta....imagining something like this for autists would be wonderful.

I've been having luck with actually getting dates, but I haven't been having any luck after that lol. Really the three most important things in terms of actually getting women to respond and be receptive are your pictures, profile content, and message content. You want pictures that show you in the...

Don't just look for women , look for aspie women . NT's are only going to reject you or keep you for a bit and then kick you away penniless. Actually, an aspie woman has a better chance with an NT man than aspie men have with an NT women. The very purpose of an NT woman's life is a social one. When...

Part of Aspie behaviour is the tendancy to be somewhat obsessive over interests which can wane with the tide be it stamp collecting or pursuing a mate Very similar with ADD or my experience of it. But I also desire and need my space as well. I can't speak for others, but it has served me well learn...

I am on OKCupid as well. I actually joined and answered over 1000 questions to prove to a friend that 99% is not perfect and 80% give or take is not the worst thing in the world. He had already found out a high match with a voluminous amount of common interests did not equal a successful relationshi...
