| How many open windows and/or tabs each of you have on your computer or phone screen? On my phone I have a smiley face instead of number of open tabs indicator, and I have like at least hundred of them: at least ten opened FB pages, several Wikipedias, Wiktionary, Pinterest, Geni.com pages, various m... |

| This is only my opinion, but as for Asperger's syndrom or so called "mild" autism cases, honestly I'm not sure if it is real, inborn autism. It's just overlaping too much with Cptsd and I believe that constantly being exposed to a stress overstimulates nervous system and eventually it beco... |

| you might want to check out "rejection sensitive dysphoria" . It is an adapted behavior due to trauma. Thanks a lot for your suggestion about what could it be all about, I am definitely going to research that subject and see if I fit in. You may be right. And it is great if there is a hel... |

| I feel completely lost and don't know what to do. I feel like I have to tell everyone I'm on the spectrum before I talk to them but I can't even say that honestly because I don't officially have a diagnosis. At the same time I'm obviously socially awkward, walk on my toes......... I'm hoping some p... |

| Thank you all for you answers. I see that we have both similar and different coping mechanisms regarding this. @shortfatuglyman, there's nothing awesome about me neither, I'm full of flaws (except that I know that I would never intensionally hurt someone, especially not first), but you shouldn't tol... |

| Hi there and welcome to this forum. I am also a new one here. It seems that a lot of us have issues with narcissistic parents or caregivers. I myself was raised by one and it was very painful to process that information and it still is, right now. You are also, probably, dealing with a lot of sympto... |

As somone who just recently realized to be somewhere on autistic spectrum I can say that it is not that hard for me to make friends, but I find incredibly hard to keep friends. Here's why.

It has only been a few days since I realized, in my 54th, that there is a very high probability that I am a high masking autistic women..and I would lie if I say that right now I am not in a state of shock. I knew I was always different, an introvert maybe. But an autistic person?... |
