    Oral expression and anxiety

    Hello everyone! Just a quick update now that the exam has passed. So I went and I think I did OK. Because I had been able to get some sleep (5h instead of 1h in December) and was generally less tired, thanks to the holidays, I wasn't as sick as last time. It was still bad mind you, but more...

    Do you think in pictures?

    I think mostly in words and with an awareness of various concepts and how they articulate themselves. It's hard to explain. But I rarely visualise what I think about and when I do it's always blurry. I'm also incapable of visualising anything in more than 2D, if that makes sense. For example...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hi everyone! :kissingcat: I'm 19, from Martinique, currently a student in France. I'm not diagnosed but I think I may be on the spectrum. This forum helps me a lot; it's nice to read about others' experiences and finding connections with my own. I struggle to make friends in real life as I'm...
