I was just interested in finding out if people with AS have different cleanliness preferences to other people, or rather particular and possibly illogical habits relating to it? I keep myself very clean indeed, and have high standards of personal hygiene. I can't stand going without a shower for a d...

I like the sound of the rain, especially at night.

Yeah, definitely. I have managed to cover it up somewhat in my speech by slowing things down a bit and using a lot of fillers or repeating what I've just said in a different way to reinforce it, until I remember what I was going to say (this is useful if I'm doing a presentation, but seems a bit wei...

I can't really tell the difference because I suspect that this site attracts a specific type of NT: 1) The NT who has a genuine interest in Asperger's Syndrome, and thus will be on a quest for knowledge and understanding. 2) The NT parent, relative or significant other of someone with Asperger's Syn...

Well, I'm still in the process of repairing things with her so hopefull...

I never used to find trains interesting as a child, but I did have small obsessions with warships and passenger aircraft. However, from last year I've been getting the train an awful lot and have formed likes and dislikes for particular models and units, and I know the class numbers or nicknames of ...

Until about a month ago I had an NT girlfriend. I am not diagnosed with Asperger's but I tick a lot of the boxes, so to speak. My girlfriend was aware that I was a little atypical when it came to interaction and we even discussed the possibility that I had Asperger's. Some of my actions she describe...
