Yeah. I think we are 'materialistic' at about the same rate NTs are; but being different, we express it differently. An autistic's attachment to his favorite movie could be just as materialistic as an ...

I've had trouble talking to doctors.

A lot of trouble with doctors comes because they assume you don't want to know more than "will this help?". You have to pretty much badger them (or, many of the ...

I've found writing works better if you are likely to forget what you wanted to say or get too emotional to say it.

I think it's ridiculous that they are trying to force her to speak. That will just ...

I'm asexual, and if I were pretty I'd have a lot more trouble. I have a nondescript sort of face, two inch long hair, and some extra weight... I blend into most crowds (until I move or talk, anyway, a ...

I'm on disability. I've got lots of sensory stuff that stops me doing most entry level jobs... I've tried repeatedly only to be too stressed out to eat dinner after getting home, or having public melt ...

She's probably dead, and has been for a while. Got a feeling if Mom's convicted, the convicts will probably beat her up, and she'll deserve it. 3 years old... man. Too young. Way too young.

Girls are not that different from guys.
This is a joke, right ?No... No, it really isn't. There's not that much difference between genders. There are a few things you can't do as easily in female com ...

I'm supposed to have "severe Asperger's", too, but I really think that is because I also qualify for a diagnosis of classic autism. I do have problems with taking care of myself but they only mean tha ...
