    What was the most irritating thing you got repeatedly told growing up?

    The biggest: Stop doing that, don't do that to my stimming habit. I did not stop until adulthood and sometimes still catch myself when under stress. I learned how to hide it during my teenage years - more when my mom was in the room.

    Physics as a Hobby/Obsession

    m-theory, I am watching physics lectures/discussions on youtube on quantum fields and multiple dimensions. I don't know if alternate realities exist or what that means. Does a decision made result in one branch of reality but that branch ends or joins into the universe when another decision is...

    Really off topic and possibly a little controversial

    You had pot brownies! I don't do this anymore. My experience was back in the 70's and very similar. It takes a while to hit and hits hard so go slow when eating. A word of caution. Historically, pot is a medicine. Alcohol, coffee and most things impact the brain. Sugar is a gateway...

    People on the Autism Spectrum and Sleep

    All this information is so good. My natural sleep rhythm all my life is to go to sleep at 3 or 4 AM and wake about 6 hours - maybe later- or take a nap in mid day. I had a job for years when I had to be at work at 7AM and it was struggle hell. I did it - most of the time - but it was a...

    For Those of You That Are Married...

    wow - that woman needs to take a chill pill. I have met her type when I worked. I am really surprised that she may still be in the relationship. Relationships are work. They are also about growth and letting go. Each person is responsible for their own happiness and she just seemed a bit...

    Name an ASD "super power" or talent you have no use for

    oh my - I started my career as a microwave design engineer and I thought I was going nuts. I could even tell if a microwave device was supplying microwaves by feeling the case or just being around it. I do not know how I did it. I stopped a coworker from going into an antenna 3 phase power...

    Why do some NTs want to "cure" us so badly?

    This is a sore spot with me. All of the above is correct. Then you just get the thing that some are uncomfortable around us. Teachers were uncomfortable around me and some other children so if we were labeled as "retarded" - it was 1958-62 - they could put me in another class or a whole...

    Holidays, Aspies & Autistic

    As information - I do not remember continuously before 7. I was very shy as a child and would cry if forced out from the parent's leg I was attached to. I remember getting polio shots and laying down on the ground kicking and screaming and crying. I don't remember how common this behavior...

    Holidays, Aspies & Autistic

    Halloween is my favorite. We had little money but I was allowed to come up with costumes as I wanted no matter how strange or delightful. Parents walked down the middle of the street and all the kids ran from house to house. It was a neighborhood in the 50's where everyone knew each other...

    Being naive in sibling relationship

    In response to Ambi - and everyone else with a family that did not really see you to like and truly love you. Tearing you down is a way of controlling you. Within each of of is the Divine, whether you call it God, Buddha-nature or "name your Divine self" nature. I am sure many...

    Being naive in sibling relationship

    Just because they are family does not mean anything. keep your respect, dignity and your mind. I have an older half brother who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) but he likes dogs so I do not think he kills except he was a hunter when I knew him. My mom, who had the same condition...

    Guy talking about me, cancelling bible study for a basketball game

    Go to the next bible study and church as if nothing happened. I have found that most peoples' feelings are really like the wind - sometimes furious and very destructive and then gone. Sometimes they just blow. Keep at what makes you feel good about yourself. If you have to - change to a...

    Eye contact.

    Eye contact has always been an issue but more so when I was younger. It was an issue between my mom and me as in "look at me when you talk to me" so I did learn to look at her and lie. My mom was a bigot and a narcissist-histrionic. She could be unreasonable. One big secret about work -...

    Communal Seating

    Prefer my cooking and my coffee to eating out. Food issues have been a problem. Sometimes going out cannot be avoided as in a work lunch or a friend just wants and needs to go out. I hate Japanese steak houses, Korean BBQ and simulated Viking meat fests. All with sitting and eating with...

    Clearly I have a split personality...

    Everyone has moods, some more than others. When I am overwhelmed, sometimes I get cranky or mean as I just want the issue/person to go away. Sometimes it is just knowing when everything becomes overwhelming and telling others I need alone time and they know to respect it. Right now, I only...
