| Hi Josh and welcome to the wrongplanet. Like you, I was also recently diagnosed with Asperger's. I hope you are enjoying the site. It's nice to talk with others that have this same condition---or related ones. Feel free to communicate with me about AS. |

| Hi Zata and welcome to the wrongplanet. This is a good place to learn about others and how they deal with issues concerning the autistic spectrum. I was diagnosed with Asperger's. For me, I consider it a gift. I would not want to get rid of it. I love my narrow interests. I do have problems though--... |

| Hi Mribakov and welcome to the wrongplanet. This is definitely the right place to learn about AS. A diagnosis isn't something everyone wants, but I felt I wanted one---so I was recently diagnosed officially with AS---which was no surprise to me. I was never scared of anything to do with AS. If there... |

| Hi Sunshower. Love can be painful---especially when you feel you are not loved back. But you did mention a very important thing in one of your responses relating to how with time, you will feel better. Always remember that because it is true---"Time does heal." When I am feeling blue I try to spend ... |

I am 44 years old, and have recently had to go back to getting college classes due to a change in my teaching career. After 19 years of teaching English, I switched to th... |

| Hi Ana54. I can relate to what you are saying. This can cause a lot of ill feelings to build up inside us. I know it's easier said than done, but try to forget them. But yes, that is tough. I have this saying, "It's easy to forgive, but you can never forget." So, if you continue thinking about these... |

| Hi Sirunus. There are times I feel like that too. That's when I try to relate to my interests in solitude. I like to go to the bedroom by myself, get under the covers (if it's cold) and work on my laptop computer. My family knows to leave me alone at these times because they understand my needs. I e... |

| Hi Samara. I think most of us, if not all, with Asperger's (or other spectrum) go through times like this. I think it is because we feel like those not on the spectrum don't understand us. And they probably don't. And it is hard for us to understand what it's like to be NT. But I have come to unders... |

| I would like to see this for real. I have often tried to explain to my wife what it is like to have AS. And I am so thankful that she puts up with me willingly and lovingly. But still, a NT cannot know what it is truly like unless they have it. Since we are on the topic of a simulator for AS, how ma... |
