    Forgotten 90’s rock music

    I am 42 years old so I grew up as a teen during the 90s. This song played a lot late at night on MTV. I was insomniac so l listened to it a lot.

    Are all of you hopeless romantics?

    I always attributed my hopeless romantic mindset to my AS/autism but I suffer not only from that but from a toxic mindset known as "one-itis." I think having been in only one long term relationship thus far I was more in love with "the idea" of romance as opposed to an actual relationship...

    Favorite Sport/Team?

    My favorite and only sport is NBA basketball. I also love the Harlem Globetrotters because they use basketball to bring joy to the world. NBA basketball is just as much as a player's league as it is a team's league. Many NBA fans are fans of a player and follow/support said player's team...

    I love my special interests from basketball layups/underhand free throws to ice cold baths and fasting. The most expensive special interests of mine are my NBA/basketball merchandise.

    Making films and videos about my walks

    I subbed to your channel. I too love walking outdoors. It's one of my many obsessions (along with basketball layups and underhanded free throws).

    New to this forum

    Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and thought I would introduce myself. I am self diagnosed but at least 2 people closest to me think I always had Aspergers. My sister in law and a cousin who knew me since I was a toddler. I suspected I had AS since about 2014. But only really confirmed it to...
