    Your favorite computer games

    Neopets. I have been playing since I was 10 years old. Every so often I lose interest, but it always sucks me back in eventually! I have tried pretty much every other virtual pet game as well. My other favorite is Aywas. When I was young I really liked games like Snood and Oregon Trail II, as...

    Pacing back and forth

    When I was in treatment centers I always had a tiny room, and I usually had to share it with as many as three other girls. And I would get in trouble if I walked too close to somebody else's bed. It was awful.

    Pacing back and forth

    I have paced a lot for my entire life. It's a form of stimming. I get very frustrated when I need to pace but don't have enough room. These days I pace back and forth pretty much the entire time I'm at work.

    Sensory Overload

    I do get a lot of headaches, and I suspect they might be from sensory overload. I have trouble knowing what symptoms were caused by what. It's hard to make that connection. For a while I thought I was cured of my sensory issues and I was freaking out (meltdowns) for no reason at all.

    Question..

    Someone suggested a service dog for me once. I was probably 13 or 14. I declined because I used to be afraid of dogs and I was worried I would have to explain to everyone WHY I had the dog. I don't remember who's idea it was, but my mom and therapist were on board with it and no one had any...

    What era would you like to live in?

    I'd like to have been born a little bit in the past, so I can experience the internet before everyone and their great-granny is on it, plus more time to be alive before the apocalypse. Or maybe the future once we have recovered from the apocalypse enough to have the internet back or we somehow...

    Hello everyone!

    What do I like to do? I really like online games (mostly ones involving virtual pets), reading about various topics that interest me, crystals and gemstones, playing with my dogs, and watching crime and medical tv shows. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't known there were others...

    As an AS female I can only talk to guys online

    I have the same issue! I have only had two relationships and they were when I was very young. 14 and 17. Both were on the spectrum, so I suppose they couldn't tell there was something very odd about me. Since I was old enough I have had profiles on just about every online dating website and I...

    Hello everyone!

    Hi. I am a 19 year old from Virginia and I was diagnosed with Asperger's at age 6. (along with depression and anxiety, which I struggled with a lot in my middle and high school years. No clue how they knew when I was 6 though.) My parents chose not to tell me, though. I first realized I was...
