News of Asperger's Syndrome Forum

Long story short, many moons ago I unsuccessfully tried to have a relationship with a man I now believe had Aspergers. We met online and things went well for a while, but the frequent disappearing acts left me very confused. Ultimately he up and completely disappeared, refusing to speak to me again. On and off over the years I have reached out to him in an effort to repair the friendship. Each and every time, ...

I've just been looking at research to see if there's a link between asd and hypermobility syndrome and it seems as though there may be a link there somehow.

Does anyone here have hypermobility syndrome or issues with dislocations/subluxations at all?

anyone with joint pains from a young age?

also.. anyone seem to be less responsive to local anaesthetic than you should be? (ie; the area doesn't numb or stay numb as long as it ...

I think I have autism/aspergers, it's the only explanation for why my reality is the way it is. I just desperately want to fix whatever ailment I have and live a normal life. :(

I've taken multiple aspergers tests online with honest answers (I even skewed my answers a bit to see if I just squeeked by and I didn't) but none of them say I have ...

Hello, i've recently graduated from college but unfortunately i've studied law because i didn't know i had autism when i've made my career choice. I've thought i had social problems because i was lazy and shy and it would get better as i got older.
Now i'm really worried i will be very bad at my job and cause people to lose their money etc. I thought about getting a masters degree but there's not ...

I've met two people who alledgedly have Aspergers and they are pathological liars/compulsive liars, not sure which. Why is there this lie that aspies can't lie? It's complete and utter BS.

Hello, i am posting this to see if anyone has any useful tips or tricks that they have found helpful in any way regarding opening up.
So a bit of background. I am a 19(soon 20) year old male with Asperger. I have been aware of my condition since the age of 8, and now have gotten into my first serious relationship. We've been dating for 6 months, and things have been very rocky towards ...

My boyfriend has all of the symptoms of aspergers- innappropriate interests for his age, odd postures, fixated on routine, total lack of social skills, he stares at me a lot, and is like a dead fish in bed, and much more. I also have to initiate most of the physical contact. The worst part of it all is that he has no idea he has aspergers, his mother does not know either, therefore he hasnt ...

It doesn't matter what I do, I'll always be living a second-rate existence. Employment is difficult and considering my lack of experience due to past difficulties as well the hurdles I'd face with interviews... best I can hope for is a minimum wage job which allows me to survive but nothing more.

I've come to the realisation that I don't like 90% of people. I'm always being asked why I'm so quiet at work and ...

Do you always feel like you belong and like people want to be in your presences.

Recently I've felt like my friend has changed, she's starting being kinda mean. Maybe its just because I'm different. But being all honest no one talks to me at school. Sometimes I kinda feel invisible and alone in my own world. Wishing I had a friend who would text me to see if I'm okay, or even just want ...
