| It always takes me a while and some thought to understand why I am feeling a certain way. I feel things and I know what those things are but sometimes it is extremely difficult to explain why I am feeling those things. Sometimes I feel stiff or rigid inside and I feel nothing. My head feel cloudy an... |

| I am curious, why do you think you won't get a DX? It is not an easy process by any means but finding psychologists, psychiatrists and MD's that specialize in Austism is a GREAT way to start. Even just finding therapist that doesn't specialize but can start helping you work through some of what you ... |

| This is probably one of my biggest challenges but I have learned to be pretty diplomatic about it. One of the things I can't take is loud music or a loud TV. My husband LOVES these two things. He used to get mad at me when I would ask him to turn stuff down but then I got creative. I know he hates t... |

| This is definitely just not an Aspie thing. My mother and Aunt both have this issue and are NT. Alot of my friends have this issue as well and are NT. All of us with severe and extreme periods have been diagnosed with either Endometriosis or Ovarian Cysts and according to my GYN these both can be a ... |

I would REALLY love to have someone show me some good Indian cuisine. I don't know much about the culture let alone the food but I know they have a lot of vegetarian dishes that are rich and full of flavor! I just have to dive in really!
What is your favorite dish, one that you always crave? |

| I have both meltdowns and shutdowns, but rather than "rage meltdowns" I usually have "depressive meltdowns". Its the same complete loss of control, but focuses much more on upset than anger. Uncontrollable sobbing, ranting about how I'm worthless, screaming about how nobody loves me and how nobody ... |

| I always thought that I was just immature because I would have these awful "tantrums". It wasn't until the past few years that I really started to look at the triggers and reasoning for these "tantrums" that I started to get some answers. I remember asking my Mom when I started to get curious about ... |

| I met George Lucas while I was interning at Walt Disney World in the College Program setting up Star Wars displays at Once Upon a Toy in Downtown Disney. He is a pretty awesome dude and totally loves his fans. I admit I was a bit embarassed because a co-worker and I were playing with the Ewok plushi... |

| You manage to relate reasonably well to your husband, though, I presume? Do you find it harder to connect with other women, or find friendships harder than relating to a partner? If you don't mind me asking, you don't have to answer if that's too personal. My husband and I get a long reasonabley we... |

| I think this is very true. Although I also think that it's not just NTs who expect us to be "like them" - I certainly expect it of myself too. I want to be like other people. I want to be good at relationships. I don't think that's something that's easy to discard as just a social expection, where ... |

| I wonder if we can all agree that one of the hardest things about Asperger's is our ability to be ourselves when everyone (neurotypicals) around us need us to be like them. It is the social and communicative aspect that always has me feeling sh***y about myself because 1) I am not at all good at the... |
