| Well, it's been 3 months now and I've spent the last week really irritated with him. I don't think he understands that AS is a real disorder his response to me telling him about it was that it kind of described him (which to me sounds like "well I fit some of those symptoms so I don't see what's so ... |

| Just finished a four year degree in Management Information Systems. I was one of only a handful of girls in that major but also graduated with the highest GPA in my major for May 2010 graduates. I think computers appeal to me for a few reasons, first of all unlike people they can be understood and f... |

| I just started dating a guy about a month or so ago and I really like him but I also have no prior dating experience (and neither does he even though I'm 22 and he's 25) and I really don't know what to expect and how much of what I'm feeling is normal and how much is related to my AS. So I'm asking ... |

| Hi Everyone! I haven't been on in ages but I've had an idea for a thread for almost a year now and am just now getting around to posting it. I was thinking, if Aspies could found their own country what would it be like? Then I thought it might be fun to see what my fellow Aspergians would find neces... |

| I was always tested for depression ever since the 4th grade because like you said I appeared to be in my own little world but once I saw a counselor I would open up and talk their ear off so they had a hard time saying I was depressed because frankly is wasn't, this was all before my Asperger's diag... |

| I live in a dorm room and stay there most of the time, but that's a little different. At home I don't spend a ton of time in my room mostly because my room isn't that entertaining, if it were then I could see myself spending a good portion of my day there. |

| living in a dorm room has shown me just how messy I am, having all of the mess that is usuaaly spread across a whole house placed in one room makes it pretty overwhelming at times. Generally, I just wait until I get so sick of it that I decide to pick it all up and this does happen occasionally. I'v... |

| I don't like to look at my feelings logically because like you said it seems like you're trying to explain them away. My parents often do this and I think that's where I learned it. I know that there may be some underlying factor that brings those feelings to the surface but that doesn't mean the fe... |

| Going through it right now, since being on "the pill" (for cists) things are better or at least predictable but I find my AS symptoms get worse toward the end of the pill pack. I get stressed out and/or depressed much easier and tend to avoid or resent social interaction when I normally don't mind i... |

| I can talk someone's ear off if I get half the chance and I tend to speak fairly well but I have always been able to express myself better in writing. Writing allows me to think about what I want to say and also to express my creative side when I work on my stories. Labpet you are incredibly articul... |

| I often have times (like now) when I feel depressed and all around icky it usually is due to a combination of meds wearing off, being tired, and sometimes hormones play a roll too. It's relatively normal but it is times like this when I could really use a hug or someone to not tell me it's just the ... |

I was more lonely when I had a roommate freshman year than I have ever been in the last two years of having a double room to myself on a floor full of people. I like being alone as long a... |

| One of the biggest reasons my Asperger's went undiagnosed (dispite having all the signs) until I was a senior in highschool is because I'm a girl and it is relatively rare for girls to have asperger's compared to boys. Asperger's is not the only disorder that can be overlooked due to odds, just watc... |
