Get a load of this clip, taken from a Sherlock Holmes movie; I doctored it, myself.

Hilarious.

I have ADD, and Aspergers, and *mod edit*
Hopefully, I'm off to a good start, with this piece. I need help, otherwise, I'll keep getting stymied.

I'm in my 30s and have both Aspergers and Bi-Polar, both diagnosed. In fact, I didn't even know what Aspergers was until I was hospitalized when I was 23 and given the diagnosis, The signs had been there (high intelligence, good grades in advanced classes, poor social skills, bad gross motor skills, lack of social common sense, severe bullying, mostly verbal) but since I grew up in the 90s and went to a big school ...

I know asperger's is not officially a diagnosis anymore, but loads of people are still using it. The thing that annoys me, is that it's generally used to say something like "asperger's is the least severe form of autism" or "asperger's is not real autism". I don't really get things like that. I thought it was just different, not necessarily less or fake or anything of the kind. I was diagnosed with asperger's when that ...

I will try writing this for a second time, first time my old laptop crashed… I very recently started seeing a therapist (completed 3rd visit). I am having very hard time open up with her and I am getting the impression she may be getting annoyed. I fully understand if I am unable to talk with her, she can’t help me. I know I want and do need her assistance. But for some reason when ...

I assume my decision-making difficulties related to my studies and career have a connection to my slight asperger's condition (confirmed by a psychiatrist).

I have been post-graduate student for ten years but I have never managed to find me a topic that would feel right to me in a long run. Master thesis I could complete since it was small enough task (even though I changed my major twice), but writing a doctoral thesis with ...

I am a 22 year old female with diagnosed Aspergers. I actually did not know about my diagnosis until very recently, because my mom thought it would allow me to mop and pity myself, and not go out. Anyway, during my Bachelor's I was at home all day after classes, did not go out except for the beginning. Now, I started my Master's in another country, and have a semblance of a social life, although ...

Since I was about 10 years old, people began to find my behavior increasingly unusual and thought that I had some kind of brain abnormality. I have some kind of condition that makes me very unemotional and detached. I also have a very blunted/flat face. But I'm not so sure I have aspergers. (My profile picture is what I look like- almost all the time :| ) ...

I can't.
My psychiatrist said that is common to Aspergers to never learn.
So, I'm posting this pool here, for those clinically diagnosed.

Hello I turn to this forum because right now I feel like I need to vent. I have carried frustration, anger, sadness and a cavalcade of other emotions lately. There are a number of things I want to say and I don't know what is the best way to start so I guess I just get right on it.

I've been unhappy for a very long time. I graduated from a technical university with some ...
