| I'm traveling back home in a few days and would like to tell my parents then. They don't even have a clue that I've been seeing a therapist. I need to tell them because I need their support. I can't help but care what they think.they have no idea what autism really is. How do I convince them? How d... |

| So I've been diagnosed with ASD recently, after going to therapy for a while for what I thought typical post-partum stuff. It didn't surprise me because it was something I had suspected for a while (but had pushed to the back of my mind because I thought I was being silly and just making excuses for... |

| Using that same line of reasoning, I've met enough people who are diagnosed Aspies, but hadn't they told me, I would've never guessed. Sure they seemed a little different, but I not so much so that their whole being screamed Aspergers. You know, that is why I'm afraid of seeking a diagnosis. I haven... |

| I know motor clumsiness is sometimes included as a diagnostic criteria for AS. Apart from being ridiculously clumsy, I've always had very poor posture, a strange gait while walking/running, and a somewhat ritualistic mode about which I accomplish physical tasks. Has any of you experienced this and h... |

| Some attributes I've read people with Asperger's have: -Tendency to over-analyze problems and social interactions after the fact -Despite the above, many have a tendency to be impulsive--which bleeds into saying things before thinking about them -Awkward in relating to NTs -Tendency to say exactly w... |

| Hello! I'm new here too, and am also unsure of my condition (I don't think that's a good word for it, but its all that I can come up with right now). Lucky you'll soon know! I can definitely relate to the weirdness of how we express emotion. There are times I'm pretty stoic--at least outwardly. I do... |

| Although I strongly suspect I'm an Aspie, I've never considered myself to be very gullible. I tend to be cynical about things, and typically assume the worst of people. So I naturally don't believe what people say very easily. But this may be a comping mechanism from having been taken advantage of a... |

| My dad most certainly has traits. He's reclusive, doesn't talk much unless its about his favorite topics--and then you can't shut him up. In fact he seems shy, until you get him started talking about his special interests--then he loves an audience. He is incredibly clumsy. He has amazing skills in ... |

| I've been assigned the roll by my friends & acquaintances as "the one who hates people". I don't hate people per se, I would just rather be alone. It seems like most aspies are like this in a way, preferring to be away from large groups & crowds. Though, I analyze my aversion to people a bit... |

| I was always that kid, right up until around the time I graduated high school that was always asked, at least once a day, "What's wrong?" In fact, my friends liked to say I had a perpetual blah or evil expression, and others found me unapproachable because I had "resting bitch-face". My mom always c... |
