Guy: “Sure. Just like the alphabet and kindergarten are no big deal. Without kindergarten, we wouldn’t be able to have this conversation!”

Safety Hazards! Cylinder Contamination! Ford Escape 3.0

What a shame! The first third or half of this book had enormous value and promise. However, the second half of the book was something else entirely. Aspies and those who wonder if they might be "on the spectrum," as it offers a plethora of insights and strategies for living in and coping with a world which often feels like "living on the wrong planet."HR: Tania as you know, women as opposed to men are put in a much more difficult position when it comes to dating. What are some of the rules or advice you can give our Aspien females who are taking all of this in and also to the people who care for them, caring other parties whether they’re parents or friends or whoever, what kind of advice can you give them on dating? Please don't use "overly strong" language in original posts, as our Auto-Mod WILL remove your post. The stereotypes for young people may not apply so much as we get older, and I was diagnosed when I was 67. Indeed, events along life’s pathway have considerably reduced the stereotypical behavior attributed to those of us “on the spectrum”, and discovering love at age 52 opened a whole new window on life, one I had not been aware existed.

I SUSPECTED Asperger’s as long ago as 2000, but it wasn’t until 2011 that I noticed a memory problem at work and t a neurologist pinned down my problem; the good news, she said, was that it wasn’t Alzheimer’s – it was High Functioning Autism. I don’t seem autistic because 36 years later I don’t know how to take off the mask or stop pretending. It goes on without me thinking about it. It’s been on for so long because it kept me safer, less rejected, less isolated. I feel like I actually don’t know who I am under it because it’s so intrinsically ingrained at this point. Also apparantly people with autism might have it because they ALL have gut problems? And you should use dietary supplements and eat non-processed foods and when possible no animal products, also sugar is bad guys. Ok then....I'm al for eating less sugar and staying healthy. But I also know that often non-processed stuff or so called healthier brands of food are also WAY more expensive. And the book mentions that women with ASS have a high chance of dealing with poverty so....there you go. I found it to be completely understandable if people opt to go for the less healthy BUT cheaper brands of food, especially if they live with other people. Now today our plumber just didn't bother to turn up to fit our radiators. I don't mean just to quote, which is annoying but I could almost understand. He already secured the job - we agreed the price, day etc. If he did a good job on radiators we were also going to use him to fit our shower room which he knew. So he basically just wrote off receiving 100s of pounds from us. no. 3: This example is the best for me because, personally, I have never been able to figure out how to hug people. I understand that for some a hug is an offering of emotional support. But for me that is a hard thing to offer up as I myself feel uncomfortable while trying to give someone a hug because I dislike touching others and try to avoid it as much as possible.

Tania’s Approach & Philosophy

Subreddit names cannot be changed. We would need to migrate this subreddit to a new one. Which is a ton of work, and we have a small mod team with limited time on our hands. We go round and round with the ‘do/don’t have empathy’ talk, every time someone brings it up. But whatever word you use there needs to be a way to describe an unusual lacuna: I’ve never seen a comic that represents me and resonates so deeply. It makes me feel valid, supported, and seen. Love this comic so much! <3»

I Am AspienGirl: The Unique Characteristics, Traits and Gifts

I TOTALLY have # 5 and # 8. I also have # 6, but not to the degree it was depicted here. The rest of these I either used to have or never had. Guy: “What does that mean? What day do you want to hang out? How long do you want to hang out? What do you want to do? Can you be more specific? What does hanging out mean? Does that mean doing something that you want to do? Do I have to hang out with new people, which will cause me to analyze what is acceptable social behaviour, which changes from one person to the next person? Why can’t you define anything clearly?”Give me the most elaborate and shortest answer you can cause I might just insert a “tl;dr” on it that I seriously don’t want to do but it’s a habit. no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or in the development of age-appropriate self-help skills, adaptive behavior (other than in social interaction), and curiosity about the environment in childhood As one would expect with an Aspie, the writing can be a bit repetitious, yet I still got a lot out of this book. I have worked with 0, yes I wrote 0, girls with Asperger's in my 15 years of working with special needs and high risk populations!! I mean, WTF?!! To read that a lot of these girls and young women are misdiagnosed is no surprise to me. And it breaks my heart. no.5: I have some interests in which I have made it my mission to become very knowledgeble in. This usually just scares others so I keep it to myself. No political discussions. There are other subreddits for this. Our focus here is mental health/support.
