| Well let me first say Happy Birthday and I hope you have a great time. Contrary to what others may say or think, alcohol doesn't always make a good time better. In fact, it usually makes you do things you regret or at the very least wouldn't have done otherwise. So, I say it's awesome that you feel ... |

| I would say you still would be classified as having Aspergers. Like a few others posted, Aspergers specifically is no longer considered a "diagnosis" under the DSM V here in the US. It seems you are from the UK (using the word mum instead of mom) so idk what criteria they use there. But, basically A... |

| Hi, my 7 yr old daughter is an Aspie as was my husband (he's deceased. Took his own life in 2011 due to a life long of not being dx'd and depression. ) and I often wonder what she'll want to be when she grows up! She too has a special interest in dinosaur bones and digging them up. She also LOVES LO... |

| I get the sensory overload, but I am pretty "zen" so not much anxiety. I agree with Daydreamer84. Sensory overload is like having every smell within 20 feet, every sound amplified, flavors mixed are disgusting, visual chaos makes navigation slow. It's too much information to process and function "n... |

| If it helps, I have no obvious hypersensitivities in that my hearing/visual senses don't seem to distort, but I do experience exactly what you do. The only sensory hypersensitivity I know that I have to some degree is in my tactile sense, but I wouldn't think it would be a huge hassle alone. It is f... |

| The anxiety disorder symptoms and sensory overload can combine in terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad ways. For example you might have anticipatory anxiety about going into a crowded restaurant and it being too noisy. You feel anxious and worried at the prospect of going to the restaurant and you... |

I personally, when I was younger had ppl that were I guess considered "friends" and so many of them, I seriously sometimes couldn't remember the name but, always recognized the faces of them all. Everyone knew who I was apparently thou... |

| I'd suggest to the OP that she brings her daughter up with a good sense of morality; as I'm sure she intends to; however, don't make the mistake of equating Christianity with morality. Encourage your daughter to explore religions in general and also the sciences. The breaker came for me when I was ... |

| I think Aspies are naturaly logical people. And they can be correct in most things, at least they think so. So when confronted by something as impossible as a God, it's simply a bridge too far for them to believe. Even consider that a God is possible. I'm a Christian, and I was diagnosed with AS ab... |
