    Church and Autism

    Absolutely with you there - If I can't explain it with hard scientific facts, it doesn't exist (until it can be explained by said facts). This does not mean I am against religion or faith (the latter way less than the former) and I support everyones freedom to practice their faith as long as it...

    For those who are bilingual: one "personality" for each language?

    Can't blame her for that!

    For those who are bilingual: one "personality" for each language?

    Same ... Never thought of talking to my dog in German (he' probably just look at me weird). I am sure you are right that is the same for many people who have been living with a foreign language for a long time.

    For those who are bilingual: one "personality" for each language?

    I'm native German but moved to an English speaking country close to 20 years ago and for me there certainly is a different personality or persona attached to English. For the past 10 of those 20 years I barely spoke German at all anymore as there aren't really many people around that would...

    The Autistic "Rationale-dependant" thinking style; thoughts and personal experiences?

    Yeah - can't stand it, got me on SO much trouble over the years ;) but even softer approaches that don't seem to make sense to me (or I don't know the rational) are really hard for me to just blindly follow - they tend to go all the way down on my priority list as a result.

    The Autistic "Rationale-dependant" thinking style; thoughts and personal experiences?

    Apart from the fact that this was sole a "husband / he" conversation which somehow feels wrong - I do work almost exclusively through logic, rational and usually very what I call "transactional" - ie. I do something for a reason, not just because. School and unfortunately I also had a stint in...

    Are you a cuddly person?

    Rarely need hugs, i don't mind them if they are with a partner, anyone else makes it weird. Not a snuggle person at all and in the past whenever I was with a partner that needed that level of closeness, it usually ended up being a bit of a challenge.

    Baked sweets survey!

    All ... but I have to choose, donuts and brownies are my favourite. Although getting older sucks .. these days I am looking at a piece of the cake the wrong way and I am gaining weight

    Do you regret being diagnosed?

    Reading your post is eerily familiar. Unfortunately I don't have answers to your questions (yet) and can't be of much help other than by saying that you are not alone with the questions, the journey and discovery. You came to the right place though - I've only been here a very short time myself...

    Do you also need to listen to something all the time, always to the same stuff?

    I have my list of songs that I listen to and I don't like surprises / unknown songs - Which also means most of my music is curated from many years ago. I also watch the same series when I go to bed - usually for a least a year or so every night, I have a number of docu series I like so I...

    The play script analogy

    This is basically my work - I've for years jokingly referred to my "work persona" as a role I play, something I've trained for and learned to do. In my work I do need to do stuff like public speaking etc which I used to hate and by now just come to tolerate cause the role I play has had a lot of...
