The article basically tells me that everything that can be confused with AS either (a) is another form of autism, (b) starts much later in life or (c) has an awful lot of overlap with AS (either makes it highly likely that the person also has AS or is another name for AS) Which means, among other th...

Exercise is good, I've found... the only semester in college that I made straight A's I was also riding my bike an hour each way to my then-girlfriend's house. My heart doctor just told me that I'll probably have to give up the ADHD meds (or go on beta blockers to counteract their cardiac side-effec...

Sometimes. But I'd just end up doing a bunch of weird stuff that has no obvious purpose yet takes a lot of effort.. Eh I figure I'd end up seeing the purpose and meaning behind a bunch of stuff that baffles me today, and it would take a lot less effort to boot. Why wouldn't I want a bunch of confus...

Everything gets to be a jumble inside my head. Easy things become confusing and impossible. Each step in a task becomes a huge ordeal of its own and I get kind of paralyzed. And yes, having simple conversations without snapping at people or losing the thread of what they're saying gets difficult. Pu...

My wife and I are both on the spectrum. We get along pretty well with each other, but our social life outside of that is... disappointing. Every so often we manage to find a person or couple to pal around with for a little while, then one day they're too busy to have anything to do with us ever agai...

The best way I have found to handle interuptions is to say "Excuse me for talking while you were interruption, go on...." and smile sweetly. They get the point, fast. I love this... I'm going to have to use it! This happens to me at work ALL THE TIME! We're supposed to have a discussion, I have a p...

Yes.... married 16 years to another undiagnosed aspie. We have a lot of the same executive function issues. The good news is that neither of us is outraged these days by the other forgetting stuff. The bad news is that we both forget important stuff and it never gets done... not good when you're sup...

I have never been in a relationship and have no clue where to start. Next week I start culinary school and that may be a good place to meet a man.
