| I'm gonna go out on a limb here and surmise that "Nuerodivergent" is another big long word the Neurotypical world uses to try and describe us, which they can't really understand to begin with? I thought it was something autistic people created to promote understanding and acceptance of pe... |

| I loved the orientation and short time on floor so I think this is the one! In a demo/sampler in Costco. Its repetitive, simple, I'm distanced from the general public, If they they a million samples at once I don't have to care lol, and I can talk while I'm looking are my food. I'm so happy so far. ... |

| **trigger warning** I can relate. I feel free from romantic feelings so I see love songs and stuff through the abstract lense of what landscape I think of, or my feelings about people platonically. I was raped as a boy and fatherless so I think my undiagnosed autism heightened my body's response and... |

| For me, assertion has been my biggest hurdle because I've been living on family property since my mom died. I pay what's asked of me but its always held over my head how lucky I am not to be on the street and how they make sacrifices for me. Its both true and untrue because I've been manipulated int... |

| Hello all, I am still coming to grips with what I believe is my undiagnosed ASD. I used to attend Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings online, but I found my tendency to mimic the behavior and feelings of those I am around didn't lead to positive results after the meetings. I would act more like a... |

| “Feeling everything so deeply” … oh yes! In the past it was thought that we don’t feel much of anything, when all along, it was more of a matter of feeling too much! From an older article I once wrote… An autistic person may feel emotion far more intensely than one who is not on the autism spectrum... |
