    Since finding out you are an aspie, does this effect your stimming?

    I just recently have become more aware of swaying from side to side...I have always done it, but before you actually suggested to me about whether I may also have aspergers, I never paid it much attention...Although saying that, when I attend meetings and we are singing, I naturally sway and few...

I'm actually 19 almost 20, but because of things that have happened in my life, i've had to grow up a lot quicker than what I should have so I do actually feel 33 as opposed to almost 20...I feel like I should be married with kids and...

    Ever feel unattractive?

    I feel very unattractive. I am prone to being very negative and unreasonable and irrational in my thinking though so that probably isn't true. I suppose I base that on the fact that I look through the mirror and wonder what others see in me? I don't feel pretty, I feel less than average in many...

    Your relationship status?

    I'm single...and yes, "looking". I'm waiting for "the one" if he exists somewhere out there. I'm a very fussy person, have very specific requirements (He'd have to share my religious beliefs) and I think i'm very difficult too, so I wonder if this person will appear at some point...Just being...
