    Double stim?

    I was (may still be) a pen biter/clicker/tapper, leg shaker, and chair rocker. I eventually started doodling in order to stop being annoying to my classmates. Of course, I kept getting into trouble for "not paying attention" while the teacher was talking, and when I recited what s/he was talking...

    Autism & Empathy

    Long ago, I heard and read a bunch of articles about how people with Autism Spectrum Disorders don't feel empathy, or sympathy. That was the main reason I thought I wasn't on the spectrum, because I have some empathy. I feel emotions, but I can't always find a name for what I'm feeling. I...

    hi. i don't know what i'm doing.

    Yeah. I was/am an astute observer of humans. I can identify others' feelings, even if I don't know what to do with that information. I just can't identify myself. I've thought of writing. I've tried it. I'm more of a visual artist, but something has just been stopping me from even drawing. Oh...

    hi. i don't know what i'm doing.

    Thanks. I'm in a city. Not big like Toronto or Vancouver. But there's probably a specialist here, somewhere.

    hi. i don't know what i'm doing.

    Yesss. Your "box" sounds similar to how it feels like there's an invisible force stopping me. I've been diagnosed with social anxiety, but it's not that I'm afraid of doing things... it's like the "do" part of my brain just doesn't work properly, or something. I LOVE talking to people, I'm just...

    hi. i don't know what i'm doing.

    I was checking around the sites and directories... alas, most of them cost money. :( I currently can't hold a job. I'm gonna have to have my doctor refer me to someone covered by the healthcare system. I am on income support, but I can't afford it with what I'm getting, with my needs. The only...

    hi. i don't know what i'm doing.

    Uh... Hi. I'm Nex. I'm a 33 year old female from Canada-land. I've not been formally diagnosed, but I want to be, because the issues I have are impeding on my day-to-day life. I don't know how to ask my doctor about the possibility of being on the spectrum, because I'm afraid he's not gonna...
