| Recently my file at the community mental health office was closed. My councilor (or she was anyway) told me a couple months ago that she's giving up on me. I have several mental health and emotional issues, but I had been hoping for years that if only I just kept doing the work involved, just stayed... |

| I was considering this question the other day. My thought on this after thinking it over a little is absolutely not. That primitive animal need to survive to do anything we can to live or at least make sure we don't lay down and die easily is not really a fully conscious thing. You are in a crowded ... |

| Hopefully I'm not sticking this topic in the wrong place. But I would like some opinions on this. I have a younger sister who was a victim of childhood physical and emotional abuse. My family and I also have good reason to believe there was also sexual abuse though in that case the abuser was never ... |

In my world it seemed there were generally three kinds of people where relationships were concerned. Some stuck with their mate for years a... |

Now I am typically considered to be on the higher end of average intelligence. I learn generally learn many skills pretty well and fast. I retain ... |

It caused both an increase in appetite and in levels of frustration. After a few days of this I admittedly just stopped taking t... |

I got to thinking and wondering though about the idea of people on the spectrum and second languages. Is it likely any differen... |

I do try to have friends with, and certainly to be friendly to neighbors and coworkers, etc. But most often I just cannot work out exactly how to maintain or form a friendship with others. I cant understand how to be truly useful t... |

Practicality to me is not what is it to most others it seems. I would like to think that my way of thinking of of seeing the world could be classed as my 'super p... |

| This is an interesting topic. I've come to think personally that some aspies seem to mentally and emotionally age a bit differently than an average NT person would. I've certainly noticed this with myself as well. I am early into my 30s myself,and its hard to actually place the overall age of my beh... |

| I've thought before of taking the truck driving class, and then trying for my class 1 drivers licence. I can drive a car or pick up truck as well as an NT.

Making a new place my own is actually sort of fun. I do however actually detest moving. Just the thought of lugging boxes around and loading a... |

I had essentially just had more money stolen from me in the way of one more broken promise among many. The idea of not being taken seriously is not a new one to ... |
