I was hoping to get adults to do it for themselves. It bothered me that it was catered only to kids. That's why when I did mine this morning I added the hashtag "adultsonthespectrum" |

| Hello all, I found a photo challenge on Facebook and Instagram called "#everydayautism". I think it would be awesome to see adults participating in this and not just parents with autistic kids. You can find out more about it here: http://www.atypicalfamilia.com/2014/02/everydayautism-photo-day-insta... |

| I was misdiagnosed with BPD. The standard treatment for it is mood stabilizers and DBT classes. DBT way developed by Marsha Linehan. She has a skills training workbook that outlines the program. I would suggest looking at that and seeing if it would be helpful before seeking a diagnosis. Being diagn... |

If you love legos.
If you are so obsessed with LEGO that you know that it should always be capitalized and can not be plural. Also seeing it incorrect makes your skin crawl and it becomes impossible not to correct it! |

However the effort it took and takes from me to maintain this is too much, totally unsustainable, and... |

| I should have been more specific. I am looking for a general practitioner. I have a psychiatrist but she had no suggestions for a GP. I contacted the autism society of my state and the only resources they had were for pediatricians. Since I'm 27 that won't work. |

| My parents tried to hyper socialize me as a child. I am 27 and was diagnosed with Asperger's a few months ago. It turns out my parents knew of the diagnosis and never told me. They spent my entire childhood trying to train the aspie out of me it did more damage in the long run. |
