    Anybody ever get extreme anger?

    Maybe head on over that way, then. This thread is about "extreme anger". It's even in the title.

    Anybody ever get extreme anger?

    Is there a thread for stirring the pot?

    Should Autistic people be eligible for disabled parking spaces?

    I'd say 'depends' is the easy choice here... but mostly that 'maybe' is reserved for the parents/caretakers of those on the spectrum. Some people with Autism/Aspergers may honestly need it, but I can't think of anything that is tied directly to being on the spectrum that would also (in such an...

    NT people who do half a job!

    I have people like this that I work with, but most of them work the polar opposite shift that I do. They know better than to do it while I'm there because I have never once had a problem with calling people out on stuff. Many times now, I have come into my workplace and it has been filthy...

    Anybody ever get extreme anger?

    Agreed on this one. Here you are, OP, upset that someone was 'picking on you' due to your autism, or so I've surmised, but here *you* are, making broad, sweeping generalizations intended to be insults. Not to mention that, as someone who fits that description pretty well, (though I'm a bit...

    I can only date online

    Well, I'm bisexual (pansexual, actually) so I don't mind the accusations of being gay nor do I mind whichever gender wants to talk to me! I prefer to play male characters because I myself am FtM, so I've had to "play" a female for far too long. I want to be taken as a male regardless of where I...

    Living on your own

    I'm with MrSpock on this one. I live alone and it is preferable to living with others. I have never had a problem with paying my own way, paying my bills, working, and so on. My problems have always come from other people. There is always that uncertainty there that I cannot deal with. Either...

    I can only date online

    In the last few years, I've tried to do exactly that, actually. The problem is that there is no safety net of family in any of the places I could move to, and most places that I would want to move to are not cheap. I would need several roommates and I've had very bad experiences with them in the...

    I can only date online

    I think my issue with that is that... 1. I live in a place where most people are really right-leaning and intolerant. Even the nicest people I've tried to get to know will eventually reveal how they really feel about things. And while I know some people don't believe that politics should play...

    I can only date online

    Thanks for your replies You're right, Keigan, in all that you wrote. There's time to reflect and there's a quietness that I enjoy. People by nature are just too loud for me. They're too 'extra' I guess is the modern term. There's a girl here that continues to try and get with me, but aside from...

    I can only date online

    The more I think about this, the more it seems to be true. I don't know why, but I never seem to fall for people I meet irl. I've met a number of people who are local, and some even seem to be 'into' me, to put it lightly, but I can never seem to click with them, no matter how many shared...

    Not able to explain emotions.

    This is exactly how I feel too, holy crap. I never knew there was a word/disorder (?) specifically for this feeling, but it has dominated my life and ruined so many relationships. I was recently diagnosed with CPTSD and didn't even know that this went hand in hand with it. Thank you for this...

    Rules for eating or arranging food?

    I never minded mayo or things touching or anything like that, though it was hard to get me to try new foods (as with most kids, I suppose). The 'weird' food habit that I had that lasted me until I was at least 15 or so was that I would 'dissect' all of my food. For instance? McDonald's...

    Are there textures you can't bear to touch?

    Pantyhose and microfiber dish cloths. I have a soft microfiber blanket that i love, so not all microfiber is made the same. In particular I'm talking about these. I hate any cloth that "sticks" to skin. Particularly dry skin. My hands and feet are rough from working and I don't like the way it...

    Dating

    ...All of these 'what you should say to someone you're trying to flirt with' suggestions make me realize how many times people have come up to flirt with me and I've been utterly oblivious. Obviously, don't take any flirting advice from me, even if I had any to give. ;) But I feel your pain...
