| I don't see it as just a difference instead of a deficiency in skills simply because if you put me in a room full of people on the spectrum, I'd still have the same difficulties that I would with NTs. I'm sure you were looking for something more in-depth, but I'm a bit too tired for that. |

| Ok, so the tests were not the assessment? I just did them myself online. They are available here http://www.aspietests.org/ I did the Cambridge Face/Voice Battery ones and the Reading the Mind in Films one. I chose them because they don't rely on self-reporting. The AQ and similar tests ask you que... |

| I don't really look at it as if I am hiding anything, because I am a very reserved person and most matters fall under "noneya" for me. The only people that know are my family, my aspie boyfriend, and, in the past, educators. There has only been one time that I've really felt like telling somebody. I... |

| A part of me really wants to be offended by this, but at the same time, I am very wary of the way mental illnesses are looked at in modern times and have been very much anti-psychiatry since I was essentially abused by the system. I think I would be a hypocrite if I said anymore, so it's probably be... |

| Were you bullied at high school? Can you tell me about how you reacted to it? If you had to write a diary about what happened at the time, what would you have written? I missed >25% of school days my freshman year and didn't make a single friend; I dropped out after that. I was an invisible entity ... |

| What about starting off at the CC with just one or two classes for a semester instead of a program? I'm sure their intentions are good and they just don't want you to get stuck in a rut. Big hugs. |

| I'm pretty positive this is related to some sort of overload, but I would just like input and or somebody to just reassure me I'm not a nutcase. This is something I've always had issues with, but for the longest time it was downplayed when I was a child and I was usually dismissed in some way as if ... |

| I figured this would probably be the best sub-forum for this since it's directly about myself and possibly not at all related to autism. I am officially diagnosed with aspergers, but I am somewhat prepared for people to doubt this diagnosis due to "I can never lie" or similar sayings being very comm... |
