| I have Aspergers syndrome. I'm a girl in my 20s, decent looking (I take baths regularly, dress reasonably, wear makeup most of the time, and eat healthily), and try to be friendly and nice to everyone I meet. I'll think I'm doing everything right, then I'll get a weird look or a mocking comment and ... |

| I'm a woman in my early 20s with Asperger's syndrome. My family, friends, and acquaintances always think I'm lying about everything and don't trust me because of my body language and sometimes eccentric wording of situations I experience. When I'm telling the truth and acting what I would consider m... |

| I have Asperger's Syndrome. I'm in my early 20s now, and am horrible at making proper eye contact and gestures. My speech is really weird compared to others, and apparently I make pauses when speaking at odd parts in the conversation. I've practiced talking to a webcam and try to imitate different p... |

| At times, I wonder if I actually DON'T have Asperger's and was misdiagnosed. My upbringing was kind of peculiar and I never really practiced socializing or interaction. I never had friends come over, and never went on vacations like a normal family. I would just play video games all day at home. The... |

| Hi there. I want to know if anyone here can relate. Whenever I'm having a conversation with someone, I don't see the point of chit chat or small talk. It just seems...unnatural in a way. When I'm having a discussion and someone changes the subject to something silly, I'm just thinking (although I do... |

| This may or may not be true in your case, but it is with mine. :/ Most people who've known me for a while don't give each other "the look" anymore, but acquaintances and people who have just met me almost always end up doing it. If you don't know what I mean by "the look", let me elaborate. Let's sa... |

| Today, I went shopping with my mom after not leaving home for almost 4 full months and I can't believe I actually did it. My head is killing me and I feel exhausted, but I DID IT. :o I'm not going to lie and pretend I enjoyed it. In fact, it was grueling and I hated every second of it....but it's a ... |

| Hi. :) I'm making it a goal to learn more expressions and make them look as natural as possible. All of my life I've struggled with how to move my eyes, mouth, and face during different situations and circumstances. The two most difficult expressions I struggle with are excitement (when someone buys... |

| Hi! I'm new and just activated my account today. I'm Ellen, but go by Ellie. :) I'm 20 years old and have been diagnosed with high functioning autism. I didn't know this forum existed until last week, so it's comforting to know I'm not alone in my struggles. As my first ever post, I would like to as... |
