| I have an Aspie partner and he doesn't act this way. He has had his occasional moment where in frustration he may say something stupid, but it quickly passes and it's over. He's never acted in the way you describe. I agree with the other posters, you need to reconsider this relationship. Just becau... |

| Because girls are better at masking. We are also less disruptive (think of the old saying the squeaky wheel gets the oil). I was a straight A student, why would anyone try to find a root for my issues? It didn't matter that I was so depressed that I attempted suicide at 12, dx'ed with generalized an... |

| So, I wasn't quite sure what forum to post this in. I am a parent, but not of this child. It does involve social skills, but not on a basic caliber. I lead a group of children, 2nd grade, once a week. Well, tonight I noticed one of my students slinking between two chairs trying to "disappear.&q... |

| This is something I tangentially touched on in another thread, and thought it warrants its own thread. If you think about it, adults practicing therapy on kids or even teens feels neither here nor there. I mean, adults have almost limitless freedom of choice in their lives, the complete opposite of... |

Small talk and general body language never came naturally to me. My middle son seems to have the same struggles, a... |

| It's never easy when a new edition of the DSM is released. People still think, and have argued with me despite me being a psych major and someone who worked in behavioral health for years, that ADD is completely separate from ADHD. While it may be different, diagnostically it hasn't been for years. ... |

| Yes and no. I was/am highly gifted so some of my idiosyncratic traits were chalked up to that. I'm also artistically gifted so that excused a lot of my eccentric qualities. The down side is I spent years suffering from severe social anxiety to the point of fainting when I had to stand up in front of... |

| For all courses completed those credits should still remain - though I am not sure how it works if a degree has not been completed. There are stipulations for certain subject areas that may require repeating if a degree has not been established within a certain time frame. Also, not all credits will... |
