    Do you dislike or fear any specific animal?

    Hello. I never thought much of this, but the one animal that I hate, not necessary fear, is mayflies. They are ugly, horrible. They don't have mouths. They come to the surface to breed and die in three days. They land on anything they can find including you. Hate them so much

    To what fictional character (s) can you relate?

    The main fictional character I relate to is Sherlock Holmes, specifically the one played by Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock. Other characters I relate to are Sheldon Cooper. Not fully, but parts of him. I also relate a good amount to Katniss Everdeen. I don't relate to a lot of things in my...

    How do you stim?

    Hello. I know it's not a requirement to have ASD, and stimming isn't listed under my criteria just because I didn't mention it to the psychologist who diagnosed me. But I will rock in a chair if I am bored mentally. I also like spinning at times. Like, my whole body spinning. I mainly stim when...

    Just got diagnosed with high functioning ASD

    A tomboy still knows they are female but acts more male. Someone who is non-binary may not feel fully male or female or those at all and they may not act towards one of the binary genders. Hope this helps [emoji3].

    extrovert aspie?

    Hello. Someone I know who is autistic is very extroverted and want to talk and talk and talk. For me, I really am not like this. During my assessment, the psychologist commented that I didn't want to talk about social things (like trips, stories that have happened to me), but just wanted to...

    Growing out of autism

    Hello. I do have a friend who was diagnosed with autism (don't know which type because it was during the DSM-IV(-TR?) years) but doesn't fit the criteria so she isn't diagnosed with autism anymore. From stories she has told me, I think she has managed to learn strategies and coping tools. I...

    Affection through physical contact

    Hello. I know many autistic people don't like being touched, but there are some like me who love it. I say I crave it. Since I'm not the best at words, I find it easier to express physically how I feel. Like, a hug could mean love, a high-five happiness, a hand-holding meaning comfort, etc...

    How to develop order when there is none

    Hello. Other than my lack of social skills related to autism, I have severe troubles with order and change. I hate it when people change their schedule on me or someone wants me to do something when I'm already busy or someone throws in that we are doing something and I don't know what it is. I...
