I’ve read many times that Asperger’s Syndrome is a mild form of Autism. In really simple metrics this is true, but at the same time, that is an entirely unhelpful comment. My reasoning here is that if you tell someone that you have a mild form of autism, then they will likely think that it [...]
When I first started to discover Asperger’s and the various traits that those with it often possess, I was a little surprised by the concept of meltdowns. Pretty much every trait I read about got a tick in my own personal list of traits that I have too, but I struggled to find a box [...]
I often hear other Aspies express the thought that they dislike change, and that they find change to be stressful. I too suffer from this problem, so can empathise with all those that this problem affects. Indeed, the very first article I wrote on this site talked about how changes to routine are difficult for [...]
I wrote last week about how I saw similarities with my own writing style and those of other Aspies whose blogs I read. The article has caused a lot of comment, with points made both for an against what I was saying. One of the big style cues I noted was the use of a [...]

If you’ve read a few of my articles, you may be left thinking that I surely must have noticed that I had Asperger’s, or at least that I had something that was causing me problems in my life, and that I should thus have been able to tackle it. Well, yes and no. As I’ve [...]
My anxiety is back once more. Anxiety is my big co-morbid condition. I’m fairly certain these days that it has been caused and reinforced over the years because of my Asperger’s and my reaction to a world that has never quite made sense or felt predictable to me. I’ve had a few days feeling very [...]
