| I've used a lot of Bird's work in my studies, it's very interesting, although not as clear cut as the article makes it sound. Alexithymia is not really a condition, it's generally viewed as a trait. You can't really have a diagnosis of alexithymia because it's not in diagnostic manuals, best anyone ... |

| Thanks everyone. I haven't been online for a couple of days so I'm glad you did the survey Mountain goat, it was entirely designed for people like you.

| Hi everyone, thanks for participating! traven - you raise an interesting point about back arrows. To my knowledge looking ahead on these things is probably not advised. However, I do apologise about the same old questions :) There was a long discussion about it in the thread for the previous survey ... |

| Hi toadsnail, thanks for your interest. It's really up to you and how you feel. One comment I've seen by americans is whether you declare you're autistic on insurance forms is a good way of deciding. There is a space on the questionnaire to make a note of anything that you're unsure about. The overa... |

| Thanks for participating Dear_one. The numbers bit is not timed and after chatting to people who took the first version of the test I realised that the instructions could have been a lot clearer but I needed to keep them the same for this version in order to constructively use the results. I'm glad ... |

| Hi everyone, A few months ago I posted a survey about age of autism diagnosis as part of my research. A huge thanks to everyone who took part, the results are being analysed and I'll let you know what they say as soon as I know. During this study it became clear that I also need to hear from those a... |

My diagnosis was relatively recent and I have not yet had the opportunity to meet other Aspies in real life...right after the diagnosis came: :santa: holiday season... |

| Hi everyone, I've been offline for a few days for various reasons, the most exciting of all being that I've got the verbal go ahead for 2 more studies. I still need to submit ethics applications but hopefully will soon be recruiting self diagnosed people for a similar study and interviewing people w... |

| Hi Sharon, I use that phrase a lot, it makes perfect sense to me esp. given the diversity among us. Please send the link as far and wide as possible, officially I should stop data collection on the 6th but getting enough people is more important than an arbitrary date. I love the 'too' long version,... |

| I don't mean for this message to be insensitive, or to hurt anyone. I just wanted to say I learned something new. While I knew autistics have ecolalia, I didn't know that high functioning adults do. But maybe so, since there was already a response to this thread that was able to relate. What makes ... |

Feel free to ignore me, however--I'm a husband so I've been ignored before. :wink: I've been told since that picking holes in the screeni... |

I can apply for extra time but not only is that a huge pain in the backside, dealing with people I don't want to deal with, but it will take me longer to get to the fun bit which ... |
