I asked myself very similar questions for a long time, and the short answer is you could be both at the same time, or one or the other. It takes a while to figure out your sexuality, and asexuality wont preclude being gay/bi/pan. It helps me to think of one as “who”, and one as “how”. The who is the...

Something I learned that really helps me to “blend in” is that NTs generally mimic a person’s body language to show they’re listening/ to show empathy/ group mentality (which comes from a need to blend with the herd for safety). If a person sees a behaviour often enough from a group they seek safety...

I am absolutely terrified of needles. I’ve passed out numerous times having them stuck into me - I also passed out when I saw my mom’s drip being removed. I weep like a little child when I get blood taken. It’s not the pain, or the sight of blood, it’s the fact that metal is inside me (I have big is...

I know this is a little late, but hopefully this helps. I’m halfway between where you are and post-diagnosis at the moment. You don’t HAVE to get a diagnosis to make a positive impact on your life - just understanding my quirks better helped me to cope with them, and be less hard on myself. Lots of ...

Well that would explain my experience at university :wink: I definitely will, I have a feeling BAP may become my new most common acronym! On a side note: I really appreciate the time you've taken to give me help and advice. Navigating life is such a mission sometimes and it's almost baffling (in a g...

I didn't know not disclosing it was an option! Yay! I don't need/want to access any services or benefits associated with a diagnosis, so maybe I'm not eligible for a diagnosis after all - another nugget of wisdom I didn't have :P When I read you description about your mom's reaction, I felt like "Go...

Hi all! I'm new to this community, but I've been grappling with this question for a while. I'm a self-diagnosed female aspie, and while I'm about 95% positive I would get an official diagnosis, I don't know if I want to. I would love your opinions/experiences/advice on the matter, as I am still youn...
