    If you can speak, do you ever wish you couldn't?

    I have Selective Mutism so I have episodes were I can't speak, even if I try to force the words out nothing will come. It can be extremely frustrating when I need to say something but can't. Work, meetings, doctors' appointments, therapists and such become complicated. I can go days, weeks...

    I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety in 2000 and Rapid Cycling Bipolar 2009 before finally getting my Asperger's and ADHD diagnosis 2012. It was my mom who happened upon an article on Asperger's when I was 13 and thought "Hey, that's my kid!" She brought it up with my teachers who were constantly...

    vocal stims

    I have vocal stims. I repeat words recently said to me or just words and sounds at random. I sing/chant out sentences/words when stressed and I also have this thing for frequently repeating names out loud for no reason, the most common one being “James” (I don’t know anyone named James)

    Your Worst Meltdown?

    I tend more towards shutdowns than meltdowns but I used to have lots of temper meltdowns during my teens and they could be triggered by something so simply as a word I didn’t like being uttered in relation to me. One time a guy said this one word I used to hate and I had such a bad meltdown I...

    Euphemisms????

    I love words. Euphemisms, metaphors, sayings, meanings, definitions, word play and what more. I don't always use them myself but I love reading them and figuring out their meanings. But there are some professions were people should just be straight with you (doctors, lawyers, etc) and not hide...

    how do you feel about winter/colder months?

    I love snow. Best excuse to wear big, warm, comfy clothes without people calling you crazy and I don't have to feel obligated to go outside.

    Do You Ever Forget To Reply Out Loud?

    Oh, yes all the time. Sometimes I even forget to reply to the person I'm having a conversation with becuase I'm too busy with my thoughts or I start whispering out half answers to conversations in my head.

    Communication Errors?

    Yesterday the receptionist at work asked me if I had cut my hair. I told her "No" She seemed very confused until we both realized the error and I explained "the hairdresser did"

    Problem saying "thank you"

    I’m not sure when to say “thank you” so I think I probably say it at the wrong times a lot but a huge problem of mine socially is “Hello” and “Good buy”. (I have a tendancey to repeat what the other person says. If they say Hi I say Hi, if they say Hello I say Hello, if they say Yo I say Yo, if...

    Communication Errors?

    On the top of my head I recall this incident from first or second grade: I was upset about something, I don’t remember what, and taking out my aggression on a poor football(soccer ball). I kept kicking it in frustration and suddenly it landed on a window. Obviously the window broke. A fuming...
