Between the ages of about 12 and 15, I got mistaken for being older than I was. I think this was because of the way I spoke, having quite a deep voice, being tall, having an unfashionable haircut and wearing what were at the time terribly unfashionable clothes (though now they would be quite trendy)...

To ring someone in the uk is to call them on the phone. I'm not sure whether all of the US is unfamiliar with that usage but my friend from Pittsburgh was and found it hilarious. Interestingly, in Denmark they use their word for 'ring' in the same context as we do. Another one is UK 'leave me alone'...

I have very bad long sightedness, everything is blurred unless it is at least a foot away, but I also have astigmatism in one eye. The vision in both my eyes is completely different to each other. I also have 'wall eyes' not severely but enough to be noticeable, and nystagmus when I am tired. I shou...

I haven't been formally diagnosed yet but feel I will get the same reaction. Although my current set of GPs (they are a group practice) seem ok, in the past I had a really awful GP who blamed everything, including my PCOS and clinical depression, on my weight, even though I had both issues when I ha...

Reading your post I honestly felt like I was reading my own story. I have many, many of your issues and 'quirks'. I am older than you but still feel like a teenager, I still have dreams about being late for school. People usually think I am younger than my age too, I was mistaken for 14-17 in my ear...

Hi I am new here. I am a 34 year old mum living in the UK. I have not been formally diagnosed yet but I have long suspected that I have aspergers. At school I was labelled as 'difficult' and teachers told my parents I was clearly very intelligent but didn't 'apply myself' properly. Unless I really l...

When I was about 8 someone told me that if you applied a magnet to a cathode ray TV screen, it would create pretty colour effects. I told my friend when I visited her house. The only magnet she had in her house was one reputed to be the world's strongest magnet. Needless to say the pretty colours ef...

Not my family but by my ex in-laws and my ex. One particularly awful incident culminated in me running out of my ex in-law's house in tears, in the middle of dinner. I was wearing a comfortable stretch lace headband, which I thought looked nice as well as being practical; they told me to take it off...
