| No I don't like it. Sheldon is just selfish and rude but somehow that is supposed to be charming. And the concusses among neurotypical people seems to be that this is Asperger's. The show's creators have said that was not their intention I guess. I don't see Aspergers in Sheldon. He does not want t... |

| I love having weird dreams. They seem to be the only ones I ever have. The latest I remember was just last night; I was a kid again, and went to school, but the school was this creepy guy's bus, and he drove around with us terrified kids inside while describing, in great detail, various musical inst... |

| Probably my father. He has a fear of forests and has never stepped foot in one. He can handle lone trees, but not enough trees bundled together like in a forest. He blames this on "very strange things" he heard and saw coming from the forest behind the house he grew up in. The house was wa... |

| I think I've experienced this before. Is it sort of like waving your hand around and thinking to yourself "Holy crap! My hand is moving! How am I moving?!" And then getting absolutely terrified for a short amount of time, almost like you're being sucked out of your body and you're watching... |

| From my experience, I've come to believe that the word "lazy" is just something people call me when I refuse and/or have no interest in doing what they want me to. Not things like "take a shower because you smell awful," but things like "come help me do something that most p... |

| From my experience, you're going to need at least $1500, possibly $2000 just for an autism "pre-screening" exam. It's a huge problem that the government and media simply have no interest in talking about. There's simply no help for adults with autism, especially those who went through scho... |

| As others have said, getting SSI is near-impossible, no matter where you are in the country, even if you have a lawyer. My Grandfather's back was so destroyed, he was wellchair-bound and couldn't hold something over five pounds, and even with multiple lawyers, it took him nearly 15 years to get disa... |

| I realized at a very early age that I'd never be having children, mainly because I would be clueless as to how to keep them alive. Parents are like superheroes to me, I don't see how they do it. |

| As far as people blasting loud music in their vehicles, it's probably one of those weird dominance things that young men tend to be obsessed with. I've never seen a woman, or a man over around 35-40, blasting music so loud that someone ten cars behind can clearly hear it. I could be wrong though, an... |

| I'd assume they would be the same as with men and/or boys. I'm male (though I would rather identify as neither male or female) but from what I've heard, there are probably the same number of females and males with aspergers, but due to gender roles, girls are not suspected of having it as much and s... |

| Hello. I don't like writing "introduction" topics because I never have anything interesting to say and so they're usually ignored, but every forum seems to have them, and some even make them mandatory for your first post. I'm male, live in the South (USA), and am over 30. I've suffered fro... |

| there do not seem to be any specialists in my entire state (that I can find, and I've done a lot of research) who are willing to see an adult. In my experience, the whole country seems to be in denial that adults can even be autistic. The young are lucky enough to get help, sometimes, but once some... |
