| I've found it equally hard to find dates ~ finding someone you have something in common with is always difficult when you've got aspie tendencies. But I guess when it comes down to it, it would be finding a girlfriend. Before I began dating my husband (I always figured being bisexual meant I could m... |

| Thanks for your feedback everyone! At her last evaluation (June 2013), she passed the ASQ so I guess the developmental pedatrician saw no reason to continue on with the ADOS. I've called back her psych a few times when her temper tantrums/meltdowns and socialization concerns have gotten out of hand ... |

| I am trying to wrap my mind around the idea of having sex so soon after birth! My daughter was such a handful and my lady bits were in NO SHAPE to play that quickly! |

| You have a right to be happy. An extra marital affair, however, may not be the best way to go about it considering the social implications. I am sorry you are in a tough spot. |

| I have some very strong suspicions that my daughter (5) has Aspergers. She was diagnosed with a speech/social delay at 24 months ~ she had the communication levels of a 15 month old at the time. She was a very, shall I say, difficult, baby. Always had to be held. Always had to be in motion. Always h... |

| I was a gifted child. I knew that I learned faster, easier than most of my peers. "Doesn't work to full potential" was repeated over and over. The problem was that I never really learned good organizational skills or even had the proper motivation. Everything came so easy! High school I could have b... |

| I definitely backslid into becoming more introverted and less "normal presenting" after meeting my husband. I don't think he's an Aspie though he's an introvert and he's got some behavioral issues in his own right which are both fully aware of. He's atypicalness (and his accepting of my own) has all... |

| My 5 year old daughter has a need to take things with her EVERYWHERE. When she was in preschool, she would often take a toy from home. It wasn't always the same toy; she has no real loyalty but whatever is her object of the day tends to keep her regulated. Insist that she keep it at home or not take... |

| I worked in the tech industry for several years, mostly in support roles. I was just as capable as my male colleagues but had the double whammy of often being the youngest on the team and the lone female. I'm not a looker nor am I a stereotypical female so rather than get sexually harassed, what I o... |
