he thinks cause I can so often (i cant always).. manage to blend in (with a heap of stress inside me thou..its unbearable at times) .. He thinks im not much different to a NT. This is the worst part. You can act only so normal, so that everyone can tell something is 'off', yet you act normal enough...

Wow, these are helpful tips. I mean, I knew on some level that old people want to talk about their pasts, but... I dunno. Diverting the conversation that way always seems so... awkward? I just worry they can tell I'm not really that interested. Can't everyone?

There is a lot of comedy out there that I think firmly belongs to us Aspies. Sometimes it's the ruder jokes, or the crueler jokes, but often it's the... absurd comedy. My favorite example is Sam & Max: Freelance Police. It's the comedy style that gets along with me the best, and the one with whi...

WEAK ANALYTICAL SKILLS IS A RECOGNIZED DISORDER. Coarsely, they would call those people "ret*ds". Nowadays they call them much nicer things, but the categorization is the same. How naive of someone to suggest that they don't exist. What world do they live in? Disabilities that interfere with cogniti...

39. Normal people can't actually multi-task or think objectively, no matter how often they claim they can. Bear that in mind when contemplating their bizarre behavior; many times their emotions (the main one is PRIDE or EGO) are overriding their reasoning capabilities. React accordingly. *By "accord...

I've felt this way ALL my life! Holy crap, I had no idea this was related to AS, I just thought it was 'cause my name is boring. "Matthew". Really? The third-most-common Christian name in the world? How can something so boring and common describe me, unless I'm boring and common? I've spent my life ...

What I've learned from observing people is that they don't like talking about or thinking about things that make them uncomfortable. Maybe when you get those responses, it's from someone who asked you, "How are you?" or "What's up?" I used to answer those questions honestly, but that's not what anyo...

I like all your names. MissConstrue is my current favorite. I'm new here, as the title says. I found out about Asperger's about ten years ago, and it so perfectly explained what was wrong with me that I've been trying to successfully diagnose myself with it since. Most days I'm convinced I'm an Aspi...
