| I am always late for things. I resent having to be anywhere at a certain time but for sure, I'd rarely go anywhere if that weren't the case. I am usually late because I get caught up in doing things to entertain my head, which amounts to stimming for me. Often I am late because things don't go smoot... |

| I don't want to lessen your distress over this but I can't tell you how relieved I am to find someone else going through this too. I am 52. In the past year or so I just can't seem to find the time, energy, brain power, memory to attend to tasks. It isn't the lists. I've made lists my whole life. Ev... |

| So .... did you get the diagnosis? What you did is what I've been tempted to do. I just don't know if I can take being invalidated by yet one more person because they don't have a knowledge of what autism looks like in adult women. Sometimes, too, it would be nice to just have counseling with someon... |

| I seem to be incapable of thinking of something to do and then doing it. If I have free time, I will always resort to stimming (which in my case is anything having to do with words - usually ends up being online). Even if I want to make myself do something new, I can't think of anything. Now I have ... |

| mseclectic, I can see your point of view, even though I'd be tempted to ask you if you really are a hurtful person due to your AS, because I doubt it. In my case, however, it's not because I'm hurtful. It's discrimination of those who don't look in the eye, don't smalltalk, don't grasp the unsaid, ... |

Government agencies are notorious for being ignorant but even higher up, there is some body of uneducated, self-serving idiots making decisions about policy. Maybe whoever sources their funding has a stipulation that they only serve clients suffering from... |

| I'm a 57YO woman and I know I'm an Aspie, but I've never been evaluated. I've heard it's expensive. Does it have to be expensive? Is there a way of getting evaluated inexpensively? I am in the same place and I didn't know they were expensive. I just can't find anyone to evaluate an adult. Someone s... |
