    Has your Autism changed as you have grown older?

    Fair to say now I am at least more knowledgable about what I am dealing with, I am a little less conflicted than in younger years. Have a long journey ahead though Growing dislike of having to pretend I'm someone I'm not to get by, too

    Do you ever cry?

    I don't cry, not through being devoid of emotion (as various stigma imply), I'm just unable to and have not for as long as I can remember Eyes a bit watery after eating or drinking something and having it "go down the wrong end" is as close as it gets.

    Do you feel safe outside?

    I guess locally, like a 5 minute trip to the shop around the corner, its not too bad. I know the area like the back of my hand, its generally quiet most of the time. You have your routines, like knowing the best time to do a little shopping without worrying about being held up by queues etc But...

    Your favorite videogames of all-time?

    I would probably start with most of the GOG (good old games) back catalogue, there are many pc titles which I enjoyed in my formative years :) More recent years its a different story, maybe its environmental or maybe its just me, but I struggle to really get into games anymore for anywhere as...

    How Normal Are You?

    Externally (observational/non-interacting) point of view I've been described as quiet and a very deep thinker Its not until actual interaction and seeing some of the challenges that can bring on my end that it becomes apparent I'm what you might percieve as slightly different So initially I...

    Aspergers Syndrome and Martial Arts

    Boxing as a teen, but I think I fall into the performance anxiety category as I could only really spar with the person I attended with (a friend at the time) and one of the older trainers I think it did help unload alot of anger, probably something I am missing as an adult but can't really...

    Do you Really Have Friends???

    Aside from family (though admitidly, I do care about them an awful lot, but theres no "closeness" aside from one of my siblings.. however we don't see each other much anymore) Couple friends when I was younger, although not awfully close.. we pretty much grew apart, none now No aquaintences

    Fictional Characters whom you think have Asperger/autism

    Doc Martin (from the series of the same name) Theres also a child (Peter Cronk) in the earlier season that displays some traits Love Doyden castle from the final episode, I'd be in my element living somewhere like that

    1980's cartoons

    Really was there even a bad one? :) Ulyesse 31 should make most lists for the introduction song alone, they don't make them like that anymore Fascinating and unsettling at the same time, classic :) Trapdoor was pretty funny as well.. (Berk! Feed me!)

    Toys

    Child of the 80's.. I'd be suprised to find anybody that has not encountered lego of some kind :) So I'll throw Generation One Transformers out there, enjoyed collecting them and then figuring out how to change them.. plus because of the old style toys were made, this things survived childhood...

    Do You Lack Motivation?

    Sometimes It comes down to wether I can force myself to become interested in something, if I manage to do that then I'm Ok. But if not its a struggle and very mundane

    Possible meltdowns due to change?

    Any sort of change however trivial can be problematic, in your case its significant change and time pressure heaped on top... NT's would struggle or be stressed out in that situation let alone anyone else I don't see you as self-pitying, you are trying to make the best of a bad situation which...

    I don't like the way some view high functioning autism

    Its largely the sheeple mentality, people take what the news and rag tells them and are happy to not question it, certainly does us no favors Don't waste the energy trying to change peoples minds ultimatly if they want to change their opinion they'll come around by themselves And welcome :)

    How do I get a degree?

    I don't believe this is strictly a case of the teacher or tutor wanting to force you to conform to their own way of approaching a specific task, what this is often actually about, is that when the work or tasks you have done is submitted or sent away to be marked, the course itself requires you...
