    Can't Speak Sometimes?

    I don't know if anyone else experiences this...but there are sometimes and certain situations where I just can't speak. Literally it becomes like my mouth is sewn shut and the words are all in there but I can't get them out. A trap door has closed over my vocal cords and I can't say anything...

    Anyone else Immunocompromised?

    As far as I know I don't have any actual "disease", but the throwing up thing is still serious. Some doctors threw a few "bulimics" out there too I didn't like that. I have no desire to be puking for the rest of my life. I'm lucky in that I don't already have a secondary immunodeficiency, not a...

    Anyone else Immunocompromised?

    Does anyone else, for whatever reason, have an immune system that doesn't like to work? I've heard people with Aspergers/ASD/whtever they call it tend to have immune system problems. I was wondering if that was true. My body frequently deals with high levels of stress and emotional pain...

    Water Phobia/Sensory issues?

    Does anyone else have them? I have an extreme phobia of water (and fish but that's another story). I cannot get wet. Like, I literally DREAD and have panic attacks in a situation where water is present. I barely ever drink plain water and even then I only do it if it's in a concealed bottle...

    High Functioning Autism Versus Aspergers?

    Okay. I'm just having a very hard time. Like, do you ever feel like something is completely and utterly WRONG and like coated with blackness? Like, it's five minutes until your wedding and a truck spills tar on your 8000+ dollar dress, your maid of honor is violently sick in the bathroom, your...

    High Functioning Autism Versus Aspergers?

    I'm sorry, guys. Now I have everyone all worried. I messed it up. I'm sorry. I'm just despairing a bit. It's not a big deal. I can handle it myself, I always do. I would delete this thread but I don't think that's an option. It's okay that I have Autism, it could always be worse; and I honestly...

    High Functioning Autism Versus Aspergers?

    I'm sorry. I should never have made this thread. I see it was a bad idea and I've offended some people. I'm sorry. I won't post here again. I'm just ruining everything these days. I'm very sorry for offending people and being an idiot. I'm sorry. I don't deserve any type of support.

    High Functioning Autism Versus Aspergers?

    Not really, but thanks... I just think, like, if I'm defective like this, is there anything I can do that's good? Am I automatically destined to fail at everything? I want to be smart and creative and does this mean I can't? Does my brain just suck at working so I'll never be like other people...

    High Functioning Autism Versus Aspergers?

    I'm near the end of my autism testing and on the 9th of October we're going in for a full profile/report/whatever from the multiple testing hours and sessions. The lady said that it's quite possible that I'm a High Functioning Autistic. At first they said Aspergers. But I'm wondering if that...

    Teddybears and stuffed animals?

    I have a hard time sleeping with other objects in my bed but I have a heavy weighted blanket that I love to sleep with. It helps me relax and it's a big comfort for me.

    How to make friends when you have problem talking to people

    Ah. The infernal question. Honestly. I don't really know. I have very few real life friends and most of them have some type of Aspergers/ASD too. Most of my friends are online. IDK if that helps. It seems easier to talk to people online.

    Yeah by Kelsey Sutton, sorry.

    Autism/Aspergers in Fiction

    It was Some Quiet Place. And she heals with magic. I was just annoyed in general because the autistic character is only there so the writer can say "look how hard the villain's life is that's why she's mean to the protagonist she has an autistic sister!" And then the sister is cured. It sorta...

    Smells... or just me?

    There's a scientific reason people sometimes like their own body smells. Basically, Your body pumps in a pleasure chemical when you're confronted with your own (and possibly a dependent loved one such as a child) smells so you'll be able to properly take care of yourself and possibly said...

    chaos/disorganised

    I dislike chaotic situations. I've been known to fold under pressure ordering a sandwich (which happened today, coincidentally.) so things like malls, parties, pretty much anything with a bunch of people and a bunch of things going on is a no-no. That being sad, I am also notoriously bad at...
