I got DXed at 20. For me it was a great thing. I was able to make sense of a lot of my childhood. The social isolation, the I.E.P group I was in, the special high school I went to. When I was a kid I was DXed with Dyslexia, but when my sister was DXed with moderate Autism we realized I had more then...

Autism speaks doesn't help to give Autistics a voice. They push us aside when we want to speak and say "Hey everybody! Check it out! Come feel sorry for this ret*d over here who can't even speak for them self."

Actually in the Japanese culture people don't often look at someone's eyes while they're talking. Eye contact is more a western thing that is overrated. In they're culture for some situations you are actually encouraged not to make eye contact.

I would prefer cuddling with my girlfriend though. That is so awesome I'm 20 and I still have my fav stuffed animal!! ! And I l...

I had to quit a job I had for 2years because of that. It's one of the reasons I was DXed. I was also really lucky with my new job because the new people were tolerant of my social dysfunction after I explained the dynamics of my disabilities to them. A good example is at first my new boss was angry ...

Self respect is what's keeping me alive. Before I found out I had AS I thought I was worthless because I didn't have many friends and it was always hard keeping a job, and gaining respect from my family. Now that I know I have AS I can also acknowledge that I can use different parts of my brain in w...

Tomorrow I meet with my psych nurse. I saw her a week and a half ago and mentioned Asperger's and she said that she had worked with boys with Asperger's and I didn't seem to act like them. I got nervous and clammed up and when she offered to bring it to the psychiatrist I sometimes see I said no. I...
