| ASD traits: - I've always been stimming. My mom told me I started to spin as a little kid (2 or 3) and did it a lot. Nowadays I pace and talk to myself.

| I think that "literal thinking" thing refers to the way many Aspies don't get sarcasm, irony, humor, idioms, etc. where the stated meaning is opposite of the actual meaning. I'm the opposite. When I hear someone speak, my brain automatically gives me the different meanings of words, phras... |

I used to cut my own hair, because I hate going to a hairdresser due to sensory issues. Nowadays I just try to endure it, because my self-cut hair looked so stupid.  |

| You were stupid and selfish, but I also think you're somewhere on the non-NT spectrum (ADHD+???), so I can forgive you that. |

| People often tell me that I "don't seem autistic", but if they knew me as a young child, they'd know. Just because I'm autistic doesn't mean I can't adapt, and over my 23 years, I've learned a lot of things. When I was 18, I started to suspect I'm an aspie. I told my friends I might be on... |

| I'm either hypersexual or uninterested in sex. There hardly is any in between. If I was in a relationship, it probably should be an open relationship, because sometimes I have no interest in sex for months. |
