  1. Surely it's a culture of responsabilities...is it not?
  2. Yes darky, that is precisely how I am, I even prefer to go out after dark for this reason.
  3. Hi bid, yes I get very similar feeling. I try not to notice people sometimes and therefore I feel that they can't see me. Wich I feel is good, for me. Ric :-)
  4. Hi there Julieann, welcome to the forum. I too am on that journey. Good Luck Ric :^)
  5. Hi again. I would just like to add that even though I used alcohol with some success, most of the time it was failure, unable to keep a job, driving offence, near break up of family just to mention a few. I am not condoning the use of alcohol and it dosen't mix well with aspergers at all. I assure you! Thanks Ric :^)
  6. Hi Tally. I think it is because I don't want to enter into a conversation that I ignore people. I don't want to encourage any interaction by saying hello or looking at them and yes this has led people to think I'm snooty and superior. It isn't because I don't like people Its the same feeling as being hugged even by a family member, I always just want to push away. In fact I am very envious of those that can have a normal conversation. I remember seeing my doctor when I left school at 15 and started work with this problem and he prescribed the usual tranquilisers etc that just made me worse, so he advised me to use a 'tot' of whiskey instead and this and lager ammounts I used for the next 38 years with some degree of success. I quite alcohol completlely a couple of years a go in a health drive, got fit and that is when the underlying problems surfaced, since, I have hardly been out, can communicate only with my pc and find that the probable cause for all these yeasr has been aspergers and discalculia. There is apparently a switched-on aspergers group in Buxton that I could visit the problem is, going thru the door in the first place. Many Thanks and my thanks also to Lain for the info. Ric
  7. Hi, I know precisly the feeling. I have in the past driven by things and then picked them up. I am also glad to hear others experience this. Thx Ric
  8. Hi. I have recently had a letter from the Derbyshire NHS confirming my referral to a Clinical Psychologist in February. In the same letter it goes on to tell that even if ASD is confirmed, there is no support for adults with aspergers in Derbyshire or the NHS. One of the biggest problems I have is communication. I am 'scarred'? to use the phone, do not acknowledge friends, people, neighbours in the street or garden in fact I will not even go out unless there is no-one in the street. I find it very difficult sometimes to even communicate by e-mail and even posting on this forum now. I wondered if anyone had any advice or pointers regarding any information on this please. Many thnx Ric :^)
  9. Hi. Yes, I can relate to this - even now when I get new things like drawing pens and art materials I get overexcited and have to pull back a little. Thnx Ric
  10. Hi, I can only aggree to the comments given above. Ric
  11. Well Done! That was terrific and no mean achievement. Ric
  12. Hi. Yes, anything that I keep I don't bother with. The problem comes when I try to throw these things away. The idea of throwing things away in pairs appeals and I will try this. Last month, I spotted a badly damaged Noddy car in Tesco's carpark and felt sorry for that. I just had to rescue it. It sits now on a shelf in my studio but I suppose that could be a childhood thing. I would sincerely like to thank all for your invaluable help. Ric.

    Hi there Claire. Welcome to the forum! Best wishes Ric
  14. Hi. Thanks for all of your comments. I can identify with all of them, especially Sally44. I too have a box that I keep these items in including pencil stubs, stones and pins etc and it is a strong, from the gut, emotional pull which I have always had. Thank you all for your help, much appreciated. Ric.
