I've been looking for some opinions on online dating, as well. I'm a young female and I work in an almost entirely male profession. I'm attending grad school for Engineering... pretty much 100% male. Because of these environments, I find it really hard to meet people. You'd think it'd be easy... how...

I've told two people so far, my best friend and my sister. They both said "well, of course you are" / "That doesn't surprise me at all". I guess I'm having a hard time seeing myself the way I did before the diagnosis... I want to shout it out to everyone so now they finally understand me. But from t...

I'm wondering, should I tell my friends about diagnosis with Aspergers? I don't want to make excuses. I'...

This is my first non- "hi-I'm-new" post. I just found out about my diagnosis. Lately the most painful words are "nasty" (as in, I say nasty, mean things to people) and "tactless." Just a simple "weird" always hurts too. Even worse is when you hear of your friends talking about you. In that case, the...

Hi Everyone! I'm just learning my way around here, but I wanted to say hi :-) I was just told by my therapist that I very likely have Asperger Syndrome. I'm going through a little bit of an identity crisis, although I have to say, it suddenly makes all the pieces fall into place. I'm very excited to...
