| Any of you guys get that thing where a particular thought loops inside your head over and over again? Like a broken record. It could be an irritating song, or a situation that just plays back over and over again? Sounds silly, but I always get paranoid. My thoughts are so loud in my own head that I... |

| No I just live with my bad handwriting. That's an interesting method though. Do you have dyspraxia? I don't know. I've never been tested. I'd suspect dysgraphia at least. What's the reason for your bad handwriting? Writing with two hands makes my handwriting legible. It wasn't something I conscious... |

| To clarify: This is not about being ambidextrous. I write with my right hand, but have to cradle the writing 'thumb-finger unit' with the thumb and two fingers off my left hand. Does anybody else do this? It doesn't seem very common. Everytime I try a google search, I just come up with page after pa... |

Not at all. Though you would think a fellow minority would get the idea. But no. I suppose it gives non-gay Aspies someone else to scapegoat, to put beneath themselves. To prop up their own fractured egos. |

Much too fast, and much too obsessively. The extent to which my mind has fixated, in the past, is truly shocking... and my imagination is way too overactive, filling in details I can't possible know, building this whole house of cards around a person.
Truly horrible! |

| I don't really understand how most people think. So putting my trust in one of them means I'm taking a big risk in the hope I've not made a mistake. So trusting someone like this carries huge significance for me. NT's, on the other hand, are not putting themselves out on a limb to the same extent, a... |

In the end, I had to turn the person who originated those thoughts in me into a 'joke' in order to discredit what they had to say. To... |

But it also brings a lot of attention, which is entirely unwanted when you feel so completely self-conscious that it starts causing panic attacks. Having... |

| Yes, I like the way you describe it. That is exactly how I feel. And I seem to have evolved a mechanism to make the consequences worse by using the guilt to totally traumatise myself to the point that, as you say, the fear that is stopping me is no longer as powerful as the guilt/trauma. And of cour... |
