    Alcohol

    I love beer, a glass a wine occasionally, and Scotch. I usually drink a beer most nights. I don't really like the feeling of being drunk, but i do enjoy the taste.

    getting used to wearing glasses

    I've been wearing glasses since I was 9. I'm 32 and they STILL drive me batty. I hate the feeling of them on my nose. When it's hot, the parts that contact my face feel hot, sweaty, and sometimes itchy. Sometimes they make me motion sick. The last doctor I saw said they're over powered, but my...

    Friendships die out

    Since I've moved my whole life, I've never maintained a friendship for longer than a couple years, and now that we've settled down, I'm in new territory. I don't know how to maintain a long term friendshup. I find it exhausting and I think my new friends I've made in book club are getting a...

    Social Limit

    Yeah, that happens frequently and it's nice to be able to walk away or go home. If I can't, it can be a problem. I have a short social limit for being in other people's houses. When I'm at my in laws for 2 days, I'm ok the first part of the first day. I'm chatty with my mother in law, but then...

    How NTs respond to you

    I often get asked to re-ask my question. It flusters me because I'm not really sure how to do that. Then they answer something I didn't ask. It gets very frustrating. This mostly happens over the phone or at the doctor's office. Another reaction that irritates me is when they start talking...

    Does anyone else dislike, hate or fear being photographed?

    I don't mind it as long as I know I'm being photographed. I hate candids. I'm horrified when I see a picture of myself because my expression doesn't match what I'm feeling. For example, a friend took a picture of me with my son on a merry go round. I remember it being a good experience, but when...

    Anyone Else Forgetful When It Comes To Names?

    Yes and it's starting to get embarrassing. As soon as they say it, I forget it. I've found that sometimes repeating their name helps. I'm in a mommy/child group and we used to wear nametags for both the parents and kids. We don't anymore and now I don't know anyone's name! Other moms will say...

    Being taken Advantage of, as Aspie/Autie Women

    This has happened many times to me. I have had multiple partners and I never knew how to stop it because I didn't want to hurt their feelings. I was pushed even into a group thing despite telling my boyfriend at the time, 'no. I don't want this anymore.' He forced me into it and it was awful...

    What supposedly great movies do you not like?

    Frozen. It was ok and visually appealing, but I found the story underwhelming. Oh, and I do not get AT ALL the appeal of "Let it Go." I don't think it's that catchy of a song.

    Adults who enjoy sitting on the floor?

    I naturally gravitate towards the floor. I don't know why. In high school, whenever we would have to break off into groups, I always sat on the floor and others would sit at their desks. Once a teacher came up to us and told me to sit on the chair because my classmates "weren't above me." I was...

    The Worst Songs Ever

    There are just SO many! I remember a few years ago my husband and I couldn't take our eyes off of Nicki Minaj's music video for "Bees in the Trap" (I think that's what it's called because I'm not sure if she actually said anything besides that). It was just so bad. The factory noise that's put...

    Thinking I've found my people...

    I was diagnosed at 31 and like you, I wasn't sure I had it until I started reading up on how females present differently. It's still an overwhelming feeling to me. It's been a year since I pretty much knew. I feel like I was given a precious key to unlocking things about myself. I used my...

    Post a Pet Hate

    I can relate to the horn thing. I had to honk my horn once just to get the person's attention that the light had changed. I wish there was a "friendly" option instead of the standard 'hey $&%^er! The light changed!' At least, that's how I interpret horn blasts! I hate that everywhere you go...

    Do you like or hate watching sport?

    I like to watch my son's soccer games, but that's it for me. I don't even care for the Superbowl. It puzzles me to hear or see interactions of people degrading their friends' teams or players. It also puzzles me to see how much football revolves around people's lives--at least in America.

    Help Needed - High Functioning Autism in Girls Parents View

    Thanks. I just repeat to myself that I couldn't possibly have known. I'm just happy she's getting help now, so hopefully she doesn't have to go through the same thing I did. I wish I would have known 20 years ago.
