When some idea or problem is bothering you and you're half-asleep half-awake and feel "haunted" by the abstraction and presence of it throughout the night? Anyone know what I mean?

I am not sure whether or not I "have" Aspergers and that is, in part, why I found myself reading this forum tonight but I may have a valuable contribution to add here.

Let me first try to summarize why I am curious and wondering if I might have AS.

When I was in elementary school, my mother was encouraged to remove me due to 'autistic behaviors'. I remember some of the reasons quite well ...

I will preface this by saying I was not raped; a friend of my husband's who I have slept with before (we have an open relationship) got REALLY pushy, but for the fact other people stood up for me, I think he would have ended up getting me to let him screw me again despite my saying no multiple times, and it's been really bothering me.

I have posted the whole story in a different ...

Tonight we had a discussion that was worthwhile. She hasn't been very supportive at all. Tonight she asked me:

Mom: How long have you had the hallucinations?
Me: I started having visual hallucinations at age six. Auditory at age of ten.
Mom: Why didn't you tell me about it?
Me:Because you would throw me into a hospital.
Mom: I wouldn't do that.
Me: Yes you would, I decided to keep my mouth shut about it ...

I think many of us want to tell others how much we like what they do. Sometimes the "Do You Have a Crush" thread falls short because you seem to be suggesting romance. But what if you just want to show respect, appreciation, gratitude or even friendly love to someone.

It seems the more I research into this occupy protest, religion,politics etc( several weeks of research and steady upkeep with the news), the more i feel like separating myself from people. Maybe i was being way to optimistic when i thought if i persisted being a decent person to people i could have a miniscul positive effect, but now im thinking my efforts will have 0% effect, and I just need to stay away from ...

Hi all, i just joined the forum this evening hoping to gain some insight. I'm a 25 yr. old female girl whom has just moved out on her own as of 2 years ago. It was not my initial plan, but living with my father had become unbearable, and it seemed liked the only logical thing to do.
My father as long as i can remember has called me names, and has made me feel ...

My 10 yr old AS daughter (unofficial diagnosis) is struggling to understand Sudoku. Part of the problem is that she doesn't see the point in puzzles. In her opinon, it's stupid to put random numbers in a grid just to try to figure out which ones are missing and where they should go. Is there a way to help her with this? I wouldn't care except for the fact that this is a math assignment. ...
