| I have more empathy for animals than humans, yet when I go fishing I kill fish. I love my children very much who are all adults now, but I can go many months without getting in touch with them. Sometimes I find it difficult to tell if someones upset which can get me into trouble. But when I realise ... |

| I'm not actually hard of hearing, at least I don't think I am, but in loud environments I have to bend down and put my ear right next to the person trying to speak to me and focus really hard to understand them. I tell people I have a hearing problem when I do this (it doesn't make them speak up or... |

| I dont think it made much of a difference. I was a freak before, and im a freak now. Ive never fitted in, not even with other aspies. Same here. I've just accepted now that I will never find my 'niche' or 'gang', I'll always be the odd one out. I'm lucky I found a husband who accepted me, god knows... |

| Hi Tea I read your post and it ended with 'any thoughts?' What you describe is quite an abrasive journey. You say you have been diagnosed with many disorders. In my experience, a diagnosis of ASD is evidence based. It appears that you want to wear your many 'diagnosis' on your sleeve, but at the sam... |

For some, sex is easy come, easy go. For others it means everything. For the rest of us, somewhere in-between. If at first you dont succeed, pick yourself up and try again.

| Hi Entity852, Getting diagnosed isn't for everyone, however I found it very useful. For one, theres no more trying to make sense of what if's, Second, it helps to understand allot about my past. For instance, I now understand that not even suspecting I was autistic was down to many years of stressfu... |

| Last year I was diagnosed with ASD. I’m in my 40’s now and this revelation has since somewhat helped to understand who I was and who I am today. I am still unpacking the past; waking up in the middle of the night with my head full of scary thoughts, moments when I realise that certain flashpoints of... |

I may be wrong but just for a second consider that bpd is the end result of unmet needs of Autistics. But bpd is 100% curable and can be diagnosed in abo... |
