Basically my son, has alot of signs of Aspergers, takes things literally, loves routine and hates people breaking rules, having to explain films in depth, obssession with an indivdual toy or subject i have always said there was a sensitivity chip missing with him for example he done something wrong i told him that it has upset me, which he replied ok as if it wansnt a problem...etc and always interupts conversations no matter how many times i have explained it wrong to do so..and his reply is " i cant help it", there is so many more things that i have came across reading web sites that i can identify him with.... but what he has done which seems to be the biggest part of this syndrome is he can play out and he has friends.

I have watched him with people he plays with and he will come out non relevent statments or when his friends come over he will go off and play by himself and everything has to be on his terms and if its not then all hell breaks lose, but he has managed to keep friends. Another thing he can do is look you straight in the eye

could anyone help a very confused mom?

I'm new to this forum. I'm 40 years old and find making and keeping friends extremely difficult. I don't know for certain if I have Aspergers but I've done the Aspie Quiz and got an Aspie score of 176 out of 200 and non-Aspie score of 27 out of 200.

I would really like to get a proper diagnosis so I can access some help and support, and I think the only way to do this would be to find it privately. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can find a list approved practitioners in this area and roughly how much an assessment would cost.

I can't get any help on the NHS. I had Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy for a year on the NHS in the early 90s. That was before I had heard of Aspergers. The therapy did n't address my underlying anxiety and then I was refused any further treatment because I had started going to an evening class.

On subsequent visits to my local GP practice I was told I did n't have a problem. Since then I’ve seen a number counsellors/therapists privately, but they did n’t help. One said I could n’t have Aspergers because I had a sense of humour.

On my last visit to my GP I asked to be referred to a specialist to at least give me a name for whatever it is I have. All I got was a snotty letter from the local Mental Health Trust saying “further therapy would not be appropriate.” Basically what I want now is a letter from a professional saying I have Aspergers which I can then get confirmed by an NHS consultant.

During the next few weeks the Department of Psychology of Bar-Ilan University (Israel), is conducting a research concerning Internet applications usage among Asperger and High Functioning Autism population.

The aim of this research is achieving a better understanding of the way the Asperger and HFA population communicates socially through the internet. Furthermore, we believe that the research results will enable us to develop more suitable platforms and applications for this community in the future.

In order to achieve substantial results, we will need your assistance and be thankful if you fill in a short survey concerning your usage of different internet applications.

The survey is anonymous and the data extracted from it is used for statistical analysis only and are not presented individually.

It is of great importance to us that many people of the community answer the survey. Thus, we would be thankful if you could send the survey to other people that will be interested in participating in the research.

The survey is attached with a "word" (.doc) file and contains specific instructions on how to fill the survey and an E-mail address to send it once it's filled.

Sincerely,
Research Team: Daniel, Li and Amit.]]>

I'm trying to find positive ways to help my son understand that his friend loves him very much, and his brain works differently.

I am also trying to find positive ways to respond to his friend because sometimes it drives me nuts. I don't know if he is cognitively ready or able to consider other people, and if there is some way I could bypass the need for empathy all together and give him some positive scripts. Any ideas?]]>

My name is Mia and I am searching for anybody who would like to contact me either as penpal or as a friend to meet and hang out with. I am diagnosed with aspergers, and I am 20 years old.
My origin is danish, but I live in Leicester, England, with my boyfriend who is an aspie too. Both of us are feeling very lonely and we would like to know if anybody out there is located in Leicester.
My hobbies are reading, writing, nature, animals/pets, religion, history, music and much more.Some of my boyfriend's hobbies are computerprogramming, music, nature and his dog, hehe
Well, I can talk for ages, so be prepared for long e-mails, but I guess this is all for now.

As a child you could say i was like many other, very socialable, funny, with heaps and heaps of confidence. I was a silly kid, very mischievous, and the teachers found me unteachable, one teacher said i was the most unteachable child she had ever met, but i wasnt violent, i hated and do still hate violence. I had many a confrontation with other kids with some who bullied me, and wanted to fight me, but i would always say im not a fighter. I knew from very early on that i was a little different, with completely difference hobbies and interests than my peers. For example, people would want to play football at break time, i would play fire engines lol im so ashamed to admit. I had a strange interest in fire engine lights and sirens... lol

As a grew older i noticed that iwas becoming withdrawn, and increasingly quiet. This wasnt the way people always knew me. It was a slippery slope down mentally through out my teen years until today, in which i dont go out at all, with no freinds, because i found it to difficult to mix. I joined a college, did IT, and coincidently met a freind from my early days of high school, he knew me as the popular kid, who loved a laugh. So quite naturally he shouted out my name in excitment, and told his college buddies to F-off, because i was there. He soon found that iwas nothing like he remebered, but he never mentioned it, he just slowely became distant, and had the horrible look of concern on his face when i struggled to communicate with him, with an expressionless face, and monotone voice. I struggled greatly at college, people did take advantage of my passiveness, kindess, and shyness. I lost tons of weight, i couldnt eat, my hair was as dry as haye, and my skin equally dry. I looked ill, on a daily basis, constantly pale.

Life continues to become harder still... non understanding parents, although i cant be sure of this because my mother suffers from mental illness, and my dad was very shy as a kid. But i knoe i have aspergers, i dont think they know what it is... I was forced by them to go the job centre this week! this is going to be a fun ride!

My story could indeed continue, i missed a lot, but i dont want to bore you further! :)

Just another aspie, sharing his story! You're not alone my fellow aspies!

I'll make a regular appearance in here! Im glad i found this place! and be all means, let me know if your story shares any simularities with mine! :)
