    Childhood memories and being autistic

    Yeah, I had this feeling that I was turning autistic, or more autistic with time. But watching old videos, I was very clearly an autistic child. When I think about this, it's probably because back then things were very simple, it was about playing and going to school, and now everything is about...

    Childhood memories and being autistic

    I was talking to my therapist about how I only noticed I was different when I was a teenager, and as a child I was pretty normal and played a lot with other kids, etc. But I asked my parents and they said I was always playing alone. Then we found these old home videos and, sure enough, I was...

    loud noises

    I remember a friend of mine asked me to a company her in her band's rehearsal and I didn't last 10 minutes there (it was heavy metal) and I got dizzy and felt sick, had to spend the rest of the rehearsal outside, waiting on the pavement, because it was far from home and I didn't know how to come...

    How many of you finally admit you will never be in a relationship or married.

    I my case, I'm very aro ace, always been. So since I was a kid I tried to imagine a future in which I wouldn't marry or date anyone. For instance, when I was 8 I wanted to be a nun. When I was 14 I wanted to become a Buddhist monk. Only when I learned that asexuality was a thing that I...

    Categorizing your life by Special Interests?

    Oh yes, I do that xD It's always something very different (a cartoon, a film, a historical subject, a band, etc), but it's very clear through time. I know, for instance, that when I obsessed over the movie Gladiator, I was turning 10 years old, just entered a new school and I would write the...

    Medicine don't work on me the way they are supposed to

    SAME! I don't trusts psychiatrists at all. I've been to 4 different ones and they all insisted I should keep taking the meds even though I told them the side effects were unbearable. Some people told me it was my fault that the meds didn't work, that it was because I didn't want to take them. My...

    Music You Love

    The Beatles! But specially the combo: Revolver + Sgt. Pepper's + Abbey Road, which is my go to playlist in case I feel anxious and/or sad. I listen to it over and over and over again until I feel better and it never failed me. If I have to chose one specific song, then While My Guitar Gently...

    The worst school subject

    Took full advantage of the fact that I had asthma as a child to never do PE because I HATED it with a passion. I was sorta bad in math, but only because I get distracted easily and changed the order of the numbers, luckily my teachers realised it and one of them would even give me extra points...

    Medicine don't work on me the way they are supposed to

    Hi, I was diagnosed with high functioning autism recently at 28 years old, and throughout my life I've been to neurologists, psychiatrists and psychologists that have tried to treat me for anxiety, social-phobia and depression, to no avail. Usually, when they try to medicate me, I end up with...
