News of Asperger's Syndrome Forum

Okay, I know my friend makes noises, loud squealing and laughter and things like that. I've either ignored it or in the case of things like loud gaming or laughter, asked him to stop or be quiet (it only works occasionally), or just removed myself from the situation.

But it's really taking a toll. His behavior interferes...a lot, with anything I'm doing and with my life in general. I hate to sound like a jerk ...

Hi,
I need some advices or, at least, persons to talk about my relationship with a presupposed aspie man. I think he is undiagnosed, he never told me about that disorder. I thought about that possibility exhanging with a friend who had hear about it. This hypothesis helps me to explain a lot of things. I met this man on the web by accident, I was in a speaking platform in order to learn better ...

*sigh* Oh boy. Opening up a real can of worms here

All my life I have been misunderstood. By who? EVERYBODY. Most of all, my parents. I'd run through a lot of stuff in my life that I've either been told I've taken it out of context, "just give us the benefit of the doubt and don't assume we wanna hurt you" kinda bull, or even just complete refusal to understand, but I'm trying to ...

Strabismus (there are lots of variations) is an eye control issue. Affected by few percent of population. How it affects on individual basis really depends on the individual.

I have alternating esotropia. Inward turning eye and I'm not in control of which is my dominant eye.
Partially because of this I have failed executive functioning test because of the flip flop. I put things in wrong places because or I have to slow down.

For ...

How can I cope with recurring anger over recurring communication problems and intrusive memories of miscommunication?

I don't have Asperger's but I have similar communication differences (communicating literally, bluntness, unusual speech, etc.) that have created problems with people. Some of the problems happened years ago, but the memories keep popping up in my mind. I've developed anxiety around interacting with people at all, including online.

I resent people so much for never understanding what I'm ...

So I meet the criteria of schizoid PD, but wondering if I am also hfa (or if my SzPD is possibly caused by it). Would be really appreciated if anyone can help -

* I do have a lot of problem with socialization.
* Rarely, if not never, actively share enjoyments/interests/achivements with other people.
* Have narrow range of interests.
* Especially good at patterns, learn grammar well & fast + I'm artistic. Doing math ...

I have been fired NUMEROUS times from jobs that are in my career choice (teaching) and that should NOT have been difficult for me to excel in. Why? For a long long time I figured I was just a "loser." I would compare myself to successful classmates from high school and consequently feel like s***. As of this moment, I am very weary about it all......I have long suspected Aspergers Syndrome. I really really don't ...

Hi, I'd like to start by saying that my brother has been diagnosed with Asperger's, so this could be a link.
My friends always call me immature, I often make inappropriate comments without thinking and have trouble communicating with people especially if I don't know them well and come across awkward, I find it difficult to be intimate with girlfriends. For example, I find it almost impossible to say 'I love you' or to say ...

We are in our 60's. When I met my boyfriend about a year ago my only concern was his quietness. There were so many other great qualities I decided I was okay with it. Here is what I see. He doesn't react.
I can tell him a funny story and there is no response or a one word answer. He does not engage in a normal back and forth conversation unless it is his specific ...

For some reason I had the impression people with aspergers talk a lot. I've always been fairly quiet. Would this have any bearing on how likely I am to have aspergers?
