Why? Out of pain. Not really physical or mental pain, but it's like people do stuff that hurts your feelings and it pains you. I was hurting over stuff that happened to me and it kept getting to me. What? Do suicide attempts count? Don't worry, I'm fine now. That's from years ago. I'm doing better n... |

I play My Sims series. Does that count? When I create my character avatar, I make it like I really am, but I usually form it to how I see myself in my head, sort of an "ideal" form. Basically, what I do is make the skin the same color as my birthmark (a bit darker than my normal skin color), make th... |

Until around 2 1/2 years ago (round about, during that time), I thought my social skills were good. I never thought they were perfect (I'd mess up from time to time, but I'd typically catch it right after I mess up), but I didn't think they were that bad. I could communicate pretty well with most an... |

Agreed. I've often questioned my place on the road myself. I sometimes wonder if I have depth perception issues or something. I noticed that when I see a car in the distance, I sometimes can't tell if it's moving or not until it suddenly gets bigger. And with delayed reaction time and slow reflexes,... |

Heheh. I kinda wish they'd hurry up and make self-driving cars so we won't have to! I'm also curious about some of the aspies/Other ASDs who don't drive. Would it have more to do with sensory issues or stress issues or both? Do you think it would be possible to create special driving classes for asp... |

I can understand that. I dont know about trapped, but I do know that I'm kinda multisided and I can't be myself in many circumstances and depending on who I'm with, where I'm at, what my mental state is, et cetera, I "morph" to fit and adapt to it. I've always done that so I actually feel I dont kno... |

Lately, I noticed that when I hear about adult aspies/other ASDs, they often mention the person cannot drive. I know of other Aspies that cannot drive, despite being of legal age to do so. I'm an Aspie and I drive, although I don't enjoy it. I'm curious, are there any other Aspies/other ASDs around ... |

That'll be a bit difficult unless someone fansubs the episodes and burns them on DVD for you. However, at least try to look at them on the internet. In addition to YouTube, I foudn them on Dailymotion and Veoh. One of my favorite ones is Sailor Moon, but the dub is pretty terrible, but at least it h... |

When someone says <age> is the prime of your life, take it with a grain of salt. It is illogical to say so because not everyone enjoys the same age. I hated my time as a kid and started liking things more when i got into middle school but I still had a crummy time then and in high school. Some peopl... |

Hi. I have to do a presentation in my speech class on a non profit organization. The Professor wants us to do one that we're passionate about and I want to do one about Asperger's Syndrome, being an aspie myself. The problem: I can't for the life of me find a non profit organization that deals with ... |

Maybe you'd benefit by talking to someone about it like a therapist or some other adult you trust. It's worth a shot and it could help you feel better about yourself. -Power Girl |

If nothing is done after reporting it, keep reporting until something happens. Teacher. Doesn't work? Principal. Nope? School Board. Something, ANYTHING. I wouldn't be surprised if some people underestimate the problem. Just keep fighting until you win. -Power Girl |

My mom knew something was different about me and we finally figured out what. Though overall, I think my family is overall indifferent to it. They still treat me the same as they always had. They do make certain accomodations for me when needed, especially after diagnosis. No matter what diagnosis y... |

Agreed. I hate how people don't take me seriously when I'm angry because I'm small and don't look like much of a threat. Looks can be decieving. I tend to surprise people with what I know simply because I don't show it at first glance. -Power Girl |

I would think it depends on what you'd call easier or harder. I would say both are equally easy and equally hard in their own way. I would also want to take into consideration the person themself. Aspie or not, some people can cope with things better than others and some people can cope with one thi... |
