| ...the third video made me cry. I don't know if it was the music or what happened, but I just jumped and started crying. I lower my head in shame... I have a friend who told me once that she was schizophrenic, but I've honestly never seen it in her at all. That isn't to say that she doesn't have it,... |

| Are you serious? Autumn has a smell? :lol: I never noticed, I actually kind of hate Fall a little bit. It just reminds me of school and Halloween (don't ask, but let's just say that isn't my favorite holiday). I can smell winter though if that's not completely off-topic...I think snow is my favorite... |

| I played with crayons...no matter how I say it, it sounds so sadly funny. Sadly this is one of the few things I remember doing. I know I did do other things, but the one that's still really fresh in my mind is playing with crayons. I'd organize them by color (reds with the red class, blacks whites a... |

| I'm sorry I don't post often, I have a short attention span and forget this place often. Yet I seem to have the guts to post a rant...the nerve of me. Anyway I really am sorry, but I feel I need to get this off my chest and this seemed the only place I can do this. It's a bit long, so if you don't w... |

| I just want feedback...it's like I get desperate for some reaction other then boredom, so I just keep talking. "If you listen you me all the way through, you'll understand why it's great too!" Honestly, the nicest reaction I've gotten to my interests was from my mom or best friend who would listen q... |

| I can think of a few...one doesn't really have to do with AS I don't think, but my mom tells this story all the time. When I was really small, around three probably, I developed an obsession with animal crackers. So I'd eat them all the time. Then one day I bit ate half of a monkey cookie and showed... |

| I feel as though I've run into a very thick brick wall and there's no way around it. That's a bit dramatic, but it gets my point across. I've had trouble with school for a while now, mostly procrastination. I'm told by everyone that I'm just being lazy and using the computer as a excuse to not do my... |

| I never had any toys that were my all-time favorites, but I did have about a billion random toys that I never played with. The only thing was they were MY toys. You touch the Barbie, I beat you with the Barbie. If I don't play with the toys, you don't play with the toys. It's a very good thing I am ... |

| I remember laughing hysterically over my 10th grade school picture oh so long ago. I had been in a bad mood that day and instead of smiling I just kind of smirked at the camera. If I recall I was wearing a black sweater and there was a gray background, so I looked downright evil. :D Best picture I'v... |

| With my son - the meltdowns occur when he has been really naughty and I punish him. They result in him becoming aggressive, threatening, anxious, violent (towards himself and others) and tearful. Oh - and it's the only time he can maintain eye contact. Yeah that sounds familiar. I got yelled at a l... |

I love to write and am constantly creating new characters and stories (my only challenge is actually finishing them). English projects that ... |

| Yes, I've seen this. Watch an NT alone, out in public. They look left. Look right. Look restless. And then, out comes the cell phone! As if their own company is unbearable, and they will do anything to avoid it. I once had a neighbor who had somebody visiting, every freaking night! It could be a gu... |

Hello everyone, my name is Lizzie...but I will be honest, that's not my real name. I'm sure everyone can understand why I'd feel uncomfortable giving my real name-so I decided my... |
