    Which ASD traits do you not have?

    Never get sarcasm, sometimes get humor. I have an obsession with electrical engineering thus leading me into owning a commercial electrical contracting company. Hand flapping and finger wriggling a whole host of other traits

    Someone told me not to stim because they find it rude?

    Never started a fight, but have finished a few. At 6'1 260lbs, my stims con come off to others as a challenge...the tiny bit of turrets doesn't help either. Start lifting weights, the bigger you are, they harder they fall.
