    Whistling

    Bro whistling annoys me to no end. When people do it at my gym I get so aggravated. I'm such a procrastinator that I still haven't bought noise canceling head phones.

    How often do you wear earbuds/headphones/earmuffs?

    I need to get me some because the neighbors upstairs drive me nuts. I also get very annoyed at the gym when people are being too loud, whistling or singing with their headphones on. I have issues with nerves in my head and ears so earplugs can trigger pain. Noise cancelling headphones would...

    How do you handle being under pressure?

    It triggers my anxiety and irritability. I get the job done but psychologically I can be a bit of a wreck.

    Here's my Intro.....

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I like the site because I feel like I can finally be completely honest about my issues without being judged or looked at funny. Of course I don't necessarily blame non-autistic people for doing that as it's just impossible for them to understand. I'm content with the...

    Anger and Irritability

    I thank you for the detailed post. I really feel that joining this forum and talking very bluntly and honestly about my issues with like minded people has already done some good. I especially agree with your point about learning about Autism.

    Anger and Irritability

    Just to clarify I'm not constantly in an extreme agitated state haha.. I hope I didnt give off that impression. The severity of the anger and agitation varies as much as the frequency does. It's very difficult to pin down exactly how often it happens but it's certainly enough to where I have to...

    Anger and Irritability

    Even when I used to do a lot more cardio (boxing) it didn't seem to make much difference. I do walk and use the elliptical machine but not that much per week. I definitely need to walk more just for overall heart health. I'm also gonna buy myself a new bike soon as the used one I bought is ready...

    Anger and Irritability

    I definitely suffer from anxiety which I'll probably make another thread about. My diet is pretty good and my sleep varies. I do have night terrors or panic attacks in my sleep, I'll wake up not breathing. It's not sleep apnea because I got a sleep study years ago and tested negative. Meditation...

    Anger and Irritability

    It varies day to day but I get extremely irritated and mad over minor annoyances. Sometimes it's because something's going wrong in my life (relationship problems, money issues etc) or there are days where I inexplicably have no tolerance for anything. I'm not sure if they're called outbursts...

    What are your opinions on alcohol? (Questions)

    I love alcohol and it helps me socialize more. I'm not an alcoholic but when I drink I do so to intoxication. However, I've drank too much in my life and have slowed down significantly due to health concerns. While I'm glad I don't drink anywhere near as much as I used to, my social life has...
