Much of my family immigrated to Florida from Sicily sometime in the 19th century. The part of Florida they were in had huge Cuban, Spanish, and Italian (mostly Sicilian) populations, and they all worked in cigar factories together, so my family wound up being trilingual (English, Italian, and Spanis...

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here. And... I'm thinking of going in for an adult autism evaluation because I just want to know for sure and I want to be able to explain to people (especially people who could make my life harder, like cops) why I stop being able to speak when overwhelmed sometim...

It’s good to get to know you. I am so sorry about what you’ve experienced with the name calling and bullying and would like to say that it gets easier but I’m not sure that’s true. I just dealt with it again in the past couple weeks. At least we have places like this, for support. I was diagnosed i...

I know you posted this a while ago, but... Thank you so much for writing this. I honestly felt like I was the only person who feels this way. Sometimes I think I am broken or not meant for this world because I don't feel anger (in the same ways other people seem to feel it) or want vengeance or viol...

Yep. It's embarrassing, because I'm a grown adult, but what can you do? Usually when I'm overstimulated (I had to quickly leave the grocery store the other day to prevent one) or there's something going wrong that I can't fix. I broke my printer yesterday on accident and spent like an hour trying to...

Hey Wrong Planet Forums! I've been lurking on and off for quite some years now and finally decided to post. I have no idea what you're "supposed" to write in an intro post on here so... Bear with me. I've been in kind of a "grey zone" with regards to a diagnosis pretty much my wh...

I keep going back and forth on this. A bit of history: Apparently I was brought in for an autism eval as a kid around age 6 or 7 because I was not hitting significant developmental milestones. I didn't learn this until a few years ago. But they said it was probably just because I was being homeschoo...
