| Does anybody experience meltdown when exposed to certain food? In my case, it is whenever I eat Nutella... I am not joking. Whatever is the amount I eat, I have rage/meltdown episodes afterward (shouting, kicking, crying, hurting myself and sometimes others in the way). I had one just a moment ago. ... |

| Thank you for this post. I can totally relate as well. I recently found out that have PTSD with scarce memory of my childhood. It seems that I have being neglected (not financially neglected though). I have been diminished by my parents even into adulthood for never being good enough and many times ... |

This thread became like all the others, with a lot of chitchat and all. How odd...
It WAS a good idea 3 years ago... |

| Yes I agree with the previous post, I believe it is like not being able to say anything without it being a choice. In my case, if I am not given the space (if there is too much noise, if I don't have the attention or if I get too much attention abruptly- yeah it is complex) I freeze, I don't get the... |

| Thanks to all of you for the advices. The one that I always get is to get over it... I do not know why I cannot just do that. I have requested from my parents that they communicate with me by e-mail but they simply ignore it and keep on calling, so I had to tell them that they should stop contacting... |

| I have recently told my parents that I have received an official diagnosis and that I am an Aspie. Their first reaction was to say that it is complicated and they don't believe it. Now I have learnt that they believe that I have been fooled by a quack doctor ("charlatan" is their word). For the reco... |

| Same here. My father does not care at all about my daughter (although he cares excessively for my brother's daughters), told me from the start that when he comes to visit (it happens about every 3 years) it is for me, not my kid. He also declared on this father's day that I am not Aspie, that it is ... |

| I was raised with this "fight back" mentality by my parents. I ended with dissociative amnesia... Cannot remember much of my childhood. Teaching to fight back is moronic for a lot of reasons, the first one being that violence is NEVER the solution. That does not mean that I raise my own daughter to ... |

| It depends. If you now decide to live in a bubble, only interacting with Aspies, you don't need anything that helped you so far in an NT "dominated" world. If you have a life outside of Autism with interactions on a daily basis with NTs, you better keep your reflexes. You got them for a good reason ... |

| The way I understand blackmetal83092 is that building a whole community around autism is NOT a good idea and be all up and angry about the "others" who are intolerant is wrong. Why? (1) Communitarianism only partly allows to be accepted by "outsiders", (2) it seriously limits the vision of what are ... |

| Never heard of this expression before so it is most likely an image. The translation for "jour d'Église", is "Church day". But this you probably know already. It could be suggesting something related to sundays, the seventh day in the Bible... But given the context in the sentence, it could be relat... |

| I am in the blunt category also. I also believe that sugar coating a fact is similar to a lie. If I don't feel like telling the truth, I don't talk, period. About the friend thing, I was thinking the same way you do, that I did not want to make friends or to keep any, etc, but then my therapist told... |

| I can feel down when I am "useless" or when I have too much time to think about the fact that I am not useful enough. However, in the context of my job and even outside of it, one thing that really allows me to feel more useful is being a "guide", a mentor for people less initiated in my fields of e... |
