Autism and/or Asperger's Syndrome

A group for people with autism, who support someone with autism or who are just interested in the condition.

If you have autism don't be worried about the social issues of saying something wrong or not fittiing in, you will be fine, just say what you think 🙂

We need a group for Aspergers only, No family or others, just those with Aspergers. Many of us have been badly treated by family and friends.

Three years ago the way that people with autism are classified was changed. The diagnoses of autism, high functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome all became ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Levels 1-3. How do people feel about all being put in the...

I'm an old man now, but I suspect that I have ASD. I'd like to know for sure, but it seems that diagnosis and treatment are not available for people my age. I live in Kansas, where mental health services are thin, and such issues are still minimized ...

As a mom to a preteen boy with autism, I am finding it so difficult to have “the talk” with him. I’m not even sure what to say to him beyond the scientific explanations. And we are going to be in trouble when it comes time for shaving lessons....

One thing I've noticed with my middle child (ASD level 2 but now considered "high functioning") is that his behavior is a lot better when we spend a lot of time being very active - playing outside especially at a park, etc. I've also heard other ...

I need more help from my community sometimes. I am misunderstood. People think I'm.rude, but I just can't handle certain sounds or to be touched. I feel like a damn fool sometimes when people make me feel stupid.

My 12 year old and I were discussing how dark it was at 6 pm these days, and he was coming up with some reasons to look at this in a positive way. Specifically because it's cozier when he gets in the hot tub when it's dark (the hot tub is amazing for...
