| So let me ask you what you think of me posting about my stress and revelations I'm having in my struggle for self improvement? I think it's up to you. If you're okay with making personal details public & can deal with any poetntial fallout from that (including trolls/negative responses), and wr... |

| I've been posting my innermost thoughts and feelings to my public blog. Not just personal information but intimate issues as well. I used to be much more in keeping with anonymity but these days I don't see what the problem really is, I mean if people are going to read my blog - what's the worst tha... |

Stupidity is a weakness that's despised and which needs to be eradicated. |

| I've been off the road for a while but now have a car of my own, on the road and no problems with it. I'm so free but I'd forgotten how many stupid drivers' there are on the roads. Braking before indicating, or not indicating all together, or taking too long to move on a green light so that you don'... |

| I've developed a liking for having several books on the go at once. I'm a returned writer who was starting out when I stopped writing many years ago, I've regained my footing and have in turn found more books related to this interest. I'm reading a magazine by Writer's Digest titled Writer's Workboo... |

| Before reading this thread, I wasn't aware there were levels to express the amount of support needed. In some posts I read as level 2 but I'm definitely a solid level 1. I need people to guide me frequently but I'm able to ask for that guidance. I had communication issues which I've vastly improved ... |

I'm going to cover self esteem, and the issue of belonging, and acceptance. What I'm wondering is in what other ways do AS sufferers... |

| Sometimes I feel all fired up with no where to go. Lately, things have been better, as I've rekindled some interest in writing again - before that it was horrible. I'm the sort of person who can't be doing nothing at any point in time without becoming extreemely stressed and impatient for the lack o... |

| Well there was very little for women, which was said to be a bit different, but since I've been on here I don't think the differences amount to much anyway. Yes, definitely put in a bit about your own life story and how being Autistic has affected you, that was the bit I was most looking for when I... |
