| Hi everyone. It has been a recent discovery actually that I have selective mutism. I don't know exactly how or why its there and there isn't anyone qualified enough in my country to explain it to me (third world country) and so, I wanted to know if anyone else suffers from it. It would be great to g... |

Don't venture to the Caribbean and expect people to understand aspergers. More likely than not, you will be thought of as crazy. But still nice sights though.
I would think that new york would be a good city since I think it would be considered cool to be an aspie not to mention all the hipsters. |

| One thing I like about having aspergers is that not having material things isn't much of an issue for me and I think that trivial matters such as the aforementioned are deemed just that and are not much of a concern. I also find solace in knowing that I am not common or ordinary and although asperge... |

| I am always saddened to learn that others can relate to my ordeals and I can truly empathize with you all. I guess that no matter what I have accomplished would mean anything without someone to share it with and I guess thats why my life thus far have felt so meaningless. To be on the sidelines and ... |

It only hit me just now as I was bored and looked up some people I used to know and thats when reality hit me again. I don't even know... |

| I must admit that I was administered antidepressants and have to say that it does not help. That is my opinion. It made my head hurt like crazy and gave me more depression thinking a drug can help. To be honest, the only thing that can overcome depression is to be happy and in my case, finding suppo... |

Physical wounds can heal but mental scars last a lifetime. I would encourage anyone to follow their passion and enjoy it b... |

| I guess the good thing about being an aspie and having routines is that if it is related to fitness, then you're pretty much in good shape. I started training in boxing seven months ago because a co worker of mine was also a coach who was pretty good. I had alot of free time on my hands so I decided... |

| I don't really have emotional attachments to objects but if I listen to a song that I really like for the first time, its like my brain records the moment in time in sync with the song. So if I was feeling really sad or angry then I get back that same feeling instantly when I hear the song. I learne... |

| I diagnosed myself because I knew that I was different from everyone else. Mainly because of my interests and the way that I interacted or lack thereof. My parents left me to my own devices from ever since I can remember. I don't even think they noticed. Maybe they did but didn't care. I don't know.... |

I doubt they can even fathom the kind of hell that having these disorders can entail. I truly wish that I didn't have aspergers so that I would actually be a happy, normal person an... |

Understanably that you can now know what you are dealing with is a positive thought but I personally would be sad to get that diagnosis. The psychiatrist I was sent to, to see if I was crazy, diagnosed me as an extreme stoic and I ... |
