| My son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. For the past 17 years I have learned a lot about the autism spectrum. As I was learning this, I started to discover me. So, I finally took an on-line test. http://aspergerstest.net I scored 34. My suspicions have been confirmed. Growing up there was ... |

| Yes! I've read the comments and can relate to many. I find it embarrassing and my family, at times, get annoyed. I also have the permanent scowl face. I'm undiagnosed with being on the autism spectrum, so I just thought this was just another weird thing about me, and me alone. Also, when I find some... |

| Hi. I have suffered through life with depression, anxiety, and social phobia. My ability to articulate has always been difficult and is just getting worse.

| I, too, wish I could just sleep all the time. What keeps me going is my 3 children. I never thought someone like me would ever be married and blessed to have children. My marriage is over, now, but just knowing that my children need me gets me up in the morning. I guess, for you, try and focus on at... |

| Hyperhidrosis, a medical condition that causes excessive sweating(I know, gross). Mine is the scalp and face. This year it is worse than ever. I feel like a prisoner in my own home. My lack of social skills prevent me from dealing with this around people. I just know how to act or what to say when m... |

| It's 4th of July, just another day to be alone. Even if I did get an invite, I wouldn't accept it. I'm a social misfit, I do have asperger traits, and if that is not enough, I have hyperhidrosis, and one more thing to add in, my 15 yr old son has autism. No one wants to be around me or him. Still, n... |

| Hello, I am 48 yrs old. Every job I have had, I was fired from. I struggled to keep my last job, which was an insurance claim examiner, about 10 yrs ago. My co-workers and my supervisor "bullied" me. My work itself was good enough to keep the job, the emotional abuse wore me down. At the time, I was... |
