    How often are you accused of overreacting? !

    I can get upset over the slightest change in anything and even the most trivial comment or something... and god help me with the time it takes to regulate back to being out of the mood. I hate these extremes they really get me down!!! I know how you feel.

    Emotional Self regulation issues ?

    Also having to explain this to people is even worse and makes me think of quitting the world even more, no matter the type of relationship i have with the person and if they know about my issues

    How long did it take for you to accept you were autistic?

    Sensory Issues Query

    On the other hand, certain smells can cause me to physically feel content, i cant explain it, though smells i like make me happy, and i am more excitable and animated i guess. It doesnt make sense really, to get excited over a smell or a texture which i can keep stroking. The only way i can...

    Recently Diagnosed with HFA

    i guess the difference in title is severity of symptoms and how they affect your daily functioning, it being you cant even function or go out, or if you can and your level of intensity of for example sensory issues are controllable enough to lead somewhat of a life. As I said I guess the...

    Sensory Issues Query

    Hi all, so since I got diagnosed recently, albeit knew the diagnosis, I was looking back at my childhood and wondered about sensory issues. I mean the ones I am aware of I believe are not too serious or profound, though at times I get wondering if I have issues or am just being picky, or if even...
