    Twitching?

    My muscles were twitching and the doctor told me to take more calcium and it stopped. I don't know if upping calcium can hurt you if you don't need it so I'd check it out before trying this. I was relieved that it was a simple thing.

    Anyone Often Cancel or Change Plans?

    I've been wondering if my tendency to change my plans with people is an Aspergers thing. I write up schedules all the time and then change them. I cancel getting together with people because I have good intentions when I make the plans or agree to them, and then I really, really don't want to...

    How do you react when the phone rings?

    I'm sorry you're marooned in your room, unless you're okay with it. Sounds safe, but kind of limited to me, but maybe you don't feel that way at all.

    Surprises - Please share how you feel about them.

    I get the grateful thing. I really am grateful too, but it always feels like I'm acting too.

    That would be scary for a kid.

    Surprises - Please share how you feel about them.

    Yuck. I don't know why people can't believe me or won't when I tell them I don't like surprise parties, surprise gifts, surprise trips, surprise visits, surprise anything. I think NT's just can not understand this. Even the most understanding people in my life don't seem to get this and It's one...

    How do you react when the phone rings?

    I sooooo wish I didn't have to have a phone, but work needs to get a hold of me sometimes. Yuck. I'm so glad you started this thread because I hadn't thought about this trait being part of my aspergers. Another relief. I'm not mean, uncarring, or rude. I just don't like interruptions and I see...

    The Figure of Speech That You Dislike The Most

    Yes - the one that bothers me most is when people say "I could care less" instead of "couldn't."

    What Are Your Fears (Big & Small)

    I have a fear of getting to the end of my life and not having lived how I really wanted to. I also have fear every time I leave from talking in a social situation that I said something I shouldn't have. I also fear looking stupid, fat, confused, wasting time, being pressured in any way, and...

    Coming out of the Asperger closet.

    I'm recently diagnosed and wondering how others have decided if, when, who, and how to tell people. Also, how it went and tips on what to say and not say, etc.

    Im really anxious and need your support :s

    I get the thing about someone watching you work. I sometimes have told them I'm nervous and it seems like they feel for you then and things get more relaxed.

    Black & White

    Yes! I love The Wolfman, The Ghost & Mrs Muir, etc, and can watch them over and over or different ones, one after the other for hours on end. It's comforting. I'm wondering now if its like a stim.

    Time.... Anyone weird about it?

    This post and the others have helped me see its the Aspergers. I'm really tired of this particular symptom. It feels like a weight that's always there. I help people with coping skills all week, but I have found no way to make this one better. Please let me know if any of you have. Thanks.
