    Android or iPhone

    I have a cheap $30.00 Android phone from Walmart. I tend to lose phones, once I left it on the hood of my truck and ran over it. So cheap phones it is for me.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY...EVERYBODY

    Thanks, I haven't logged in for awhile. The guy on the card with the test tubes full of chemicals is great.

    physical exercise?????

    I don't go to a gym, I would definitely not enjoy that. I workout at home, it wasn't enjoyable at first really tedious and boring. I learned to enjoy it because it makes my body feel good, then I feel better. But yes it's just lifting heavy things and repetitive.

    physical exercise?????

    I've always sought out physical exercise, it helps me a lot. I just finished my daily weight lifting, and am tired,but feel much better.

    Constant thirst?

    I don't have chronic thirst, but I have an old gatorade bottle I bring to work, and am constantly drinking water from it and refilliing it. I think it's just one of those repetitive kind of things I do. But I also really like drinking cool water.

    Older Aspies and Younger Aspies

    I like what you said about removing the "Idon't knows". I'm 52 and diagnosed just a couple years ago after my divorce. For me getting rid of "I don't knows" led to self understanding and not feeling like such a weird person now that I know why I behave/feel the way I do. So for that reason...

    How forgetful are you?

    I have to put my phone, wallet and car keys in my lunch box so I don't lose them. I did lose my spare car key though. I often walk in somewhere to look for a specific item and have forgotten what it is. I usually go back to where I was when I needed the thing and once I see what I was working...

    Are you left or right handed?

    I'm right handed, but I use my left hand a lot for carrying/holdiing things so maybe ambidextrous to an extent. My dad could write in cursive with both hands at once, his left hand would write backwards, and the right hand forwards in perfect cursive. My son is left handed though, and has lots...

    Numbers...

    I'm pretty good at math, but algebra was hard. I think I have a bit of dyslexia, but have not been diagnosed with it. I would miss seeing exponents, and often some variables so it took me a long time to get through algebra. Other than that I'm pretty good at math especially geometry, and...

    Does this happen when you try to socialize?

    Thanks, dependiing on the person/situation including them would be a good strategy, the least conflict inducing one. But ignoring them is another depending on who they are, or how the butting in occurs.

    Can ASD people also have a learning disability?

    I forgot to add, I don't even want to think what my high school GPA was!! They just pushed me out of there to get rid of me:-)

    Can ASD people also have a learning disability?

    Hi Tony, you don't need a high IQ to succeed at what you want to do, you only need to find the thing you want to do. From what I've read Andy Warhol, the artist guy had an IQ in the 80's or so, but he did well. IQ intelligence isn't everything, I suck at emotional, and social IQ, i'm probably...

    Can ASD people also have a learning disability?

    Maybe I'll pick an image with oxygen in it for my avitar if I find a good one, thanks.

    Can ASD people also have a learning disability?

    Not too sure what to say, I guess don't feel bad for me at least. The past is gone, we can only learn from it. I really hated being in public school, I guess since I have relatively high IQ iintelligence I never got the help I needed in school, but I made it, but just barely. It took me a...

    Can ASD people also have a learning disability?

    Thanks for the username quote thing, I picked it since I'm a chemist, and really like phlogiston theory even though it was wrong, it was on the right track. And when I was in the Army I served in the 101 airborne for a bit. Other than that, I really suck at picking usernames etc. I'm still...
