Is it only me or are here others who doesn't really want to get better?

I make up excuses for myself all the time, though it doesn't feel like excuses, but I've realized that that might just be what they are.
I have doubts about getting better. Maybe it isn't that great being social, being out there. Maybe this is just who I am, maybe this is how I'm supposed to be and how I'm ...

Hello I am 19 and recently found out that I have asps. It kinda came as a surprise as my mom told me recently and even though I heard of it never thought I had it. She basically said i "slightly" have it. Is she just saying that to make me feel better or can there be different degrees of it? Also is there any treatments or anything for it? Im guessing things like going ...

Like after a show, and people start clapping. Does this hurt everyone? Cause it seems to me most people can go on and on doing this, I always need to take breaks in the least, I don't really like doing it, and after a while I just have to stop because my palms are "stunned" , but you always feel you have to or people will think you are unappreciative. Stress...

Hello. Let me start by saying I've not been officially diagnosed.

However, I have this sort of conversations with my wife and parents all the time.

THEM: Why must you be so rude?

ME: How was I rude?

THEM: What you just said was rude.

ME: All I said was <fill in the blank>. How is that rude?

I will yell at the radio alone in my car when they misuse a word or mispronounce ...

I won't go into detailed background unless you would like to know. I have self-diagnosed myself with Asperger's; I believe with a high degree of accuracy. I have done so by reading both diagnosis criteria and some descriptive forum postings that sound like I wrote them.

I have spent most of the mature part of my quarter-of-a-century life trying to "figure myself out." This recent conclusion is either the glue or the missing link to ...

I have an extremely deformed face. Its so crooked. Every feature is so ugly that even if I got multiple plastic surgeries, I'd still look like a monster. Its not BDD. I really do look like a monster. I feel trapped. I feel as if my heart gets ripped out everytime I look at one of my pictures or in certain mirrors.

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend whom I think is an Aspie is great with my 11 year old. In fact he seems to feel far more relaxed with her than with me.

My boyfriend has a great sense of humour but I only ...

Between rapid speech and pressured speech? I read up on pressured speech, how it can make no sense whatsoever, sort of skip form one thought to the next and that isnt me at all.
