I always liked to dance, and I even did it as a sport for some months when I was younger. Now I would never ever dance with other people (not even my wife, unfortunately), but when I'm alone at home I find myself dancing and smiling and all that, with my dogs. Before I knew about ASD I thought it wa...

I think I'm a lost cause when it comes to therapy. I don't see a way around it. Sorry for being a downer. If anything, I hope that anyone else that has been through something similar and sees this knows they're not alone. You're not crazy. It happens. There are horrible people out there posing as t...

I was bullied my whole life, only I didn't know it was bullying. "Everybody makes mistakes". "It's ok, I have a lot of patience and I can stay calm". "That person didn't mean that, maybe they are tired". And so on. Now that I got my diagnosis (at 35) I'm starting to pay...

I feel the same way and only now I'm realizing how truly alone I've been my whole life, behind this "glass wall". Best way for me to explain it would be to say that whenever I'm with other people, I'm never truly with them, I'm always looking at them, from my own point of view where everyt...

I'm a picky eater and always have been. Up until I was 21 or something I used to eat a grand total of like 10 different foods, if you excluded sweet stuff in general.

Now I eat way more things but there are still "prohibited substances" which I would never eat.

I'm struggling to find a good online therapist. Also I'm not sure what's the definition of "good" and maybe I was unlucky in my previous experiences. As of today, these things triggered me to fire the two previous therapists: - looking at the phone while I'm talking, if only for 2 seconds ...

What’s amazing to me is precisely that I get to see how people around me “would have reacted to fascism” now that I see it. All my life I thought of myself as the kind of person who would not be bought by fascist ideas, and I strived to do that. On the contrary, most people around me did not manage ...

Hello everyone! I found this website a few weeks ago, and it took me a while to figure out that I really wanted to post something and be part of this community. I'm a self-diagnosed (ASD and ADHD) 35-year-old guy. Five weeks ago, I was blown away by the results of a bunch of tests. I must say that ...
