    Headaches

    Me too. I have headache a lot. I used to get them every day when I was still in school. I thought they were sinus headaches as well and had to take a pill every morning. I think they're really tension headaches, though.

    So sick of being misunderstood

    Can't mulititassk

    Me also. It physically hurts my brain to try. I'd love to be neuro typical for a day to understand how it feels to be able to do things like that and understand why people get so frustrated when I can't.

    Temperature sensitivity

    I used to wear hoodies in the summer and T-shirts in the winter. I eventually stopped because of negative feedback.

    What are your stims?

    Hmmm, I always wondered if my spontaneous voices and skin picking while stressed (or tired) were aspie related.

    What's your "Happy Place"?

    The forest. I spent all my time there as a child. Being outside in general is calming.

    Aspergers, Social Anxiety, or somethign else?
