    HAPPY BIRTHDAY...EVERYBODY

    Hey, thanks Tree! I am 41 years old today and that's okay! No Covid-19 symptoms so far, but I wasn't able to hug my family members when they showed up at my building a few hours ago.

    Anyone Else Feel like Their Mind Was Wasted?

    There are levels of social conformity, many of which are negotiable. If the world wastes someone's individual talents, it's because that person was weak or ineffectual enough to allow themselves to be wasted. Or maybe because they were indifferent to their own existence, in which case nothing of...

    Favourite cover versions of songs...

    I like the Johnny Cash version of "Personal Jesus" better than the Duran Duran original. :cool:

    Anyone Else Feel like Their Mind Was Wasted?

    Even if you were diagnosed as an 8 year-old (as I was), there is still a strong possibility that your mind could go to waste if you don't find a way to apply it. It's entirely your responsibility. If you go through life sitting on a winning lottery ticket oblivious to what you've got, well ... a...

    A tale of two socks

    Aspychata: Ontario is an extremely progressive province but Progressivism isn't nearly as free or permissive as you would think. I'm a pretty straight-laced conservative guy by nature but wearing mismatched socks would be a nice little dig against Mr. Establishment. I have a more than a few...

    Me radically avoidant?

    Is Avoidant Personality Disorder just a matter of preferring to remain at home alone & "in your shell?"

    A tale of two socks

    Wearing mismatched socks is one thing, wearing socks with holes in them is quite another. Does anyone besides me have a mother who would insist on you wearing matching socks ... even as an adult? o_O

    Anyone on the spectrum suffer through this too?

    I'm pretty good with table manners, although eating spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs is a challenge for me when I'm eating with other people or in public. It's one of my favourite dishes, too! My white cotton t-shirts usually gets coffee stains on them, but that doesn't matter since...

    I really want to die

    Treating everyone with respect shouldn't be that hard if you really want to, but your autism and OCD are probably preventing you from doing that. I understand because I have a dual diagnosis of my own, Asperger's and Bipolar Disorder. Matthew, I'm so glad you're here with us on Autism Forums...
