I intend this thread to be a bit of a bridge between those of us who have found healing, and those who are despairing. Recently a person posted a thread wherein he said there was just too much negativity on this Website. That got me to thinking about what gets posted here. When I look through the Forum section here, it breaks my heart to see so much pain. Quite a lot of this pain is part and parcel of being 'different' and the ostracism that goes with that.
Some of us here are "Elder ASpies' and have the life experience to share how we've learned to cope. How we have learned to appreciate our innate 'difference' and even embrace it, rather than be ashamed of it. How to cope with the stresses that being ASpie put upon us.
I've been posting here for over a year, and I've seen so many posts from people on the verge of suicide. I've been that depressed when I was younger, and I understand how far you can slip into despair.

I want this to be one thread where people can look for a bit of help, and understanding.


coping f**k YEA! I know I have had my fair share of sorrows, and have had to overcome many of them on my own. It is amazing how many posts here are from people who have similar problems to the ones that I have had, and some that I still struggle with.

Dear Professor, often I feel down in the dumps and I suppose it's seen in my posts and all yet, after reading this post I thought to myself that atleast this thread is very helpful and all..Yes, I've been dealing with Depression for 22yrs now and much has changed in my life over those many years both good and bad I've managed to maintain some sort of composure regarding my emotional content..Truly, I often don't post a great deal for at times, I've felt like most of my words are simply too incoherent or have no meaning to others here on Wp.Anyways, I'm just glad to have come across this thread..
