| Yeah, I agree with the horse thing, lol. And sorry if some of you have felt that I may have ignored you. I wasn't sure what OP meant; at first I thought it meant Only Professionals, lol! I really do want to see a doctor, and see if they agree on a diagnosis, but only if they have experience in diagn... |

| Please do no take what I said about my grandfather the wrong way. I do not believe you to be "socially ret*d," however, my grandfather was about as warm and snuggly as a cactus. If he wanted to pay you a complement it was kind of not a complement. Like, once when I was a little girl, I sang a song f... |

| I am in a similar position to the OP and when I consulted my Health Care Professional I was advised against pursuing the diagnosis because it would be potentially harmful to me in the future. For me the only reason why I would like my Mother to consider Aspergers in connection with me is because sh... |

| Wow, did not expect those responses, especially from this community. They were very negative, and you really should not jump to conclusions. Maybe it was how I presented myself. I was very tired, and I needed sleep. I simply was looking for some advice on how to bring the subject up to my mother to ... |

| I have suspected I have asperger's for the last few years, and I cannot fathom why my own mother is so against the realization, as I fit the diagnostic criteria perfectly. My mother gets annoyed, even hostile at the idea. The very word "asperger's" irks her. This is heart breaking to me on so many l... |

| Are there any NT peeps with a child, SO, or relation with ADHD as well as AS? I'm wondering if NTs have the same constant need for stimulation I do. I have both. As far as stimulation goes, I could lose focus on anything. If I needed to do school work as a child I could literally stare at a wall an... |

| I know I am an aspie, but I have a burning question for other aspies: Do you find yourself correcting everyone? Even strangers? The worst one I have done was jump out of a car to correct the English of a begger's cardboard sign! Lol! In other words, is this an aspie trait, or is it just a terrible q... |

| Question for Aspies please. How can I tell the difference between: a) When an AS person overloaded and needs to be left alone b) When the AS person won't speak to me because he is angry with me? Also, if the AS person is angry with me should I try to leave them alone or should I try to talk to him ... |

| Well, I know how old this thread is, but seeing as how this subject is so dear to my heart (having just given birth in July) I felt compelled to make my mark. My labor experience was the labor from h-e-double hockeysticks. :evil: My lovely husband, who happens to be the most understanding man in the... |
