    Stimming -- potential brain damage?

    Another one. I see it as a good thing - its self-care. Just make sure you arn't hurting yourself. Ducks flap their wings after a fight to 'shake it off'. We shake as we laugh, cry, experience shock or trauma. Its a natural process for the body to restore harmony. Theres a process called TRE...

    Stimming -- potential brain damage?

    Autistic people are super sensitive to taking on too much energy (often negative energy from the world) - here is a way to stim more intentionally, effectively and safety. Its normal to 'stim' in the world of qigong/tai chi, to destress and clear nervous tension and energy, its just western...

    Asperger's and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

    Our guts are extremely unique. what irritates one persons gut will be fine for another.

    Personality vs. Traits

    This question is pretty interesting to me. I have been diagnosed as Aspergers (and ADD-Innattentive subtype). But sometimes I this I am better characterise by my personality (INFJ) + C-PTSD INFJs are introverted-intruitive-feeling-judgers. This personality type includes a lot of Aspergers...

    Best stimmy foods

    I love roast potatoes, esp with gravy. And oven chips with aoli. Potatoes are such comfort food. I dont like crisps too much because they dehydrate me. For crunch I love roasted beans from the asian store - they are broad beans I think, roasted with onion and garlic. So crunchy and savoury...

    Difficulty with friendships

    I really relate to your post. Personally, ive decided to walk alone for a while - from friends, lovers, even therapists, because the people I tend to attract into my life are narcissists, bullies, theres a really unhealthy dynamic etc.. It can seem good in the begining, but always devolves, and...

    Not able to explain emotions.

    Have you ever done any myers briggs personality testing? - you sound like an INFJ - even if a slightly different type it can help you understand how you naturally process sensory, intuitive, emotional, and cognitive info. This is a good website for info. There are various tests online, some...

Ive had this issue intermittently for years, just having periods where I am exhausted...

    Luminosity

    I used to play these every day. I think they are really helpful to increase focus and improve cognitive ability.. but it depends on what kind of mental weakness you mean? Have you tried meditation.. its a very challenging (although deceptively simple) form of brain training..

    AS and eating to alleviate overload - anyone experienced this?

    I have this issue too. I believe its a kind of stimming - self stimulatory behaviour to fend off sensory overload. I dont think its emotional - although emotions are often involved. For me its usually once ive been out and about and had a few triggoring or stressful aspects of my environment...
