| I believe that high self-esteem is a feeling, an emotion. It is like the aha feeling you experience when you really get a work of art, or piece of music. It is the feeling you get when you KNOW what is going on here (in your world). You feel in your bones that you can cope and do well in the future ... |

| I would like to go get an official diagnosis. I have looked at various professionals on google and found none that look like they would know anything about anyone over the age of six. I have a Psychiatrist that I see because I am BPII and have a lot of anxiety. I don't know if I should talk to her ... |

| People ... normal people, never think about Asperger's. It doesn't come up in normal conversation... ever. No one mentions it in the news, or talk shows, or regular TV, or newspapers. Bipolar disorder, kleptomania, autism, schizophrenia, psychosis, narcissism, come up far more often than Asperger's.... |

| We often think of empathy as a skill rather than the long-ago, neuronally ingrained bioevolutionary tool for survival that it actually is: the ability to inhabit the feelings of fellow beings (the word empathy derives from the Greek en, which means ‘‘in,’’ and pathos, meaning ‘‘suffering’’ or ‘‘expe... |

| Every day I find myself cruelly straddled between my solitary life and my social life. The solitary life is easy: you wake up, forage all day, go back to sleep, repeat. The social life is ridiculous. I can't relate to people my age. I can't do small talk. You'd have to get me drunk to drag me to a ... |
