| How about opening another tread titled "Cant take it anymore that I am sooo sensitive to noise." You should find here quite a lot of people who feel (sometimes at least) equally exhausted and depressed by this. It helps already to know that others are also going up the walls for the same r... |

| Give yourself some time. I mean which kind of teenage experiences cannot be made later? For some years, I had been regretting, for example, not to have done the dance courses most of our peers did at 14/15, the classmates from my village did not follow them either, and my mother refused to pick us u... |

| This one goes to the NTs: Would you befriend someone if you knew they would never ever miss you? If not, why? I'm not able to display emotional attachment or miss other people but I still can enjoy some people's companies A LOT. That's why I'm asking. Yes, if you are an interesting person, and many... |

| Richard Plomin (genetist) once said that ASD is one of the most heritable conditions. But with all what research has been finding out about epigenetics in the last years ... My guess is that stress during pregnancy and - less - in early babyhood plays a bigger role than "genetics". There a... |

| Aspies are logical. (This is one of the most widespread inaccurate stereotype within the community.) Not only the most widespread inaccruate stereotype, but also the most detrimental one for humanity.

| Wow I hope I'm not perpetuating a stereotype by saying logic > emotions ... That's literally how I feel about pretty much everything and why I was able to cut loose many toxic relationships in my past. Though from the looks of it you guys have pretty much covered everything that has ever been said ... |

| IMO this "preface" thing is mainly an Aspie thing, or to be more precise an insecure Aspie thing. The purpose of it is to show that they are insecure, and to plead for indulgence, so that they dont want to beget blamed for something, or if so, when at least been told what they did wrong. I... |

| My level of empathy varies with the situation. When a family member of mine, or my girlfriend is troubled by something, I can really feel their problems as my own. Also, when I'm talking to people, I tend to copy their speech patterns, sometimes without me noticing. This makes me want to get away f... |
