| Well, i have a different mindset than other people. I have a different sense of humor. I'm usually talking nonsense. I'm talking shameful things unintentionally.

| Nice, do you speak turkish? I feel left out in this country because autism rate is very low here. So it's considered as rare. Evet tabi ki :) It just feels strange to type it i guess! I think autism rate is normal too but awareness is very low and people with high functioning autism just don't know... |

| I think you're being too hard on yourself. Autism affects social interaction, of course you will feel lonely sometimes! You don't have to judge yourself by other people's standards.

| I strongly recommend a mentor or a counselor to assist with self-esteem issues and actions you may benefit from. The issues you enumerated are dense and “sticky”. Big changes usually occur slowly. Be prepared for some hard work. Have you read the criteria for social anxiety disorder? ASD provokes a... |

| Hi all. After some time i'm here again to share a problem. When i start talking with someone or responding to their question, i accidentally reveal my autism. Because they realize my talking is not normal and somehow i'm an atypical person. Probably my facial expression, or gestures are weird. This ... |

When someone commits an offense like murder, people label them as psychopath or sociopath. I doubt if this category includes autistic p... |
