It's a horrible coping device(forget its formal term),the next time it happens try to focus on what your mind is doing.I recently became aware I get lost in my head which is what causes information to co... |

I can relate to this 100%, too. |

| I actually even had an employer tell me this once. And another boss who yelled at me because she said to push a certain button and I just didn't see it quickly enough--"I said push the green button!" Another time I was helping paint a porch and I had knocked something over without knowing... |

| Hello all, I haven't really posted on here before. I'm still very much getting to grips with what aspergers is and the different ways in which it affects people, and I was just wondering if anyone could relate to my situation. I take a really long time to process information. I'm not particularly un... |

| I know this probably gets mentioned quite a lot, but is there any chance there could be a mobile version of the forum? I'd like to browse the forums more regularly, but I can only really use my iPhone, which is a bit of a faff, and things like embedded YouTube videos won't load. Is there any way aro... |

| Thank you all for the replies. :) My wife and I had a good chat with me this evening. She's still pissed at me but I think we managed to smooth things over, thank goodness! I have a surprise planned for her on Friday. Normally I suck at being romantic but I had a moment of inspiration with this one.... |

| Again, thanks for your reply. The thing with my wife is, she wants to feel important. She feels very hurt that I haven't bothered to organise something that I know she wants to do, like she is at the bottom of the list. I guess she must feel like she's tried to help by giving me some pretty obvious ... |

| Thank you very much for the advice, BirdInFlight. I have been writing things down recently. My wife bought me a big wall planner for this very reason. The only problem is it's in my 'music room', which I'm only in once a week at the most. I do write things down on my phone - mostly things my wife an... |

Yeah, I do struggle to focus on things I am not interested in. But it's knowing / remembering when to come out of lala fantasy land that I really struggle with! I actually enjoy it, when I get it right!
Would anyone have any advice on coming off autopilot? |

I'm not really sure where this post belongs, so apologies if it's in the wrong place! I'm currently sat here wondering why on earth I didn't think to plan to see any fireworks ... |

| Hello all, I'm Clive, 30 from Norwich, UK. I've recently discovered I'm very likely an aspie. A brief history... I've struggled with social anxiety for most of my life. At high school I was a selective mute. I pretty much spoke to no one other than teachers, and it was completely undiagnosed at the ... |
