| @ Iris.Ell : How do you know they are Narcissists? Do they exhibit all 13 Traits of a Narcissist , or do they just disagree with you, not do what you want, and live better and more exciting lives than you do? Thanks for your reply. First of all, I do not need to have a DSM manual in my desk to ti... |

I forgot how to change gears while driving the car during that time. I lost my hand to eye co-ordination and thw ability to grab things or hold thi... |

| So I've had a lot of psychedelic experience. Tripped at least a few times a year through my early 20's - typically LSD or mushrooms, once or twice mescaline (didn't really notice a huge different with the later from the former, very LSD-like). Then in my late 20's I rediscovered DXM, worked with th... |

| Sounds like it is something that you cannot control and it bothers you. Or is it due to overexcitement and nervousness? If it feels like uncontrollable and completely involuntary might also be Tourette's. It is not uncommon those two to co-exist.Tourette syndrome (TS) is a co-morbid disorder with au... |

| Hello! I have been interested to know your thoughts and your experience on the use of psychedelics, for whoever that has tried those if they are happy to share. What is your experience with those? Whatever the psychedelic substance, MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, or even ayawaska, is anyone here willing to ... |

Is that the question that we should trouble ourselves with, or how to recover faster from those ? What is a shortcut to recovering, and not needing ten years to recover from example from a massive meltdown or shutdown.
Any well thought answers, are welcome.. |

| A mental breakdown for me would look like a meltdown, where you want to sit and cry for hours. The severe burnout thing would include dissociation (it has happened to me), and probably is accompanied by clinical depression. I believe it is much worse and that really takes years to recover from. Talk... |

| When you wrote inner pressure, initially I thought it was pressure in your ears, do you have that? I get that before meltdowns, literally. |

| Obviously, yes! Especially when it is centered around sex. Once I had a special interest about films related to sex (not porn), anything crazy and particularly Japanese.. Apparently, other autistic in other forums agree that sex traditions , such as fetishes, kink etc, can be a special interest too. |

| I do depending on the type of people. I noticed many can sense the social clumsiness emanating from me and ask me person questions to probe for gossip rather than genuine curiosity. I can relate, but you can never say if it is gossip or curiosity. Most of the cases, they don't even know what it is!... |

| What you wrote about being entitled to lie, is a huge relief, thank you! English people are very good at being kind! in my country when you don't say your age, they can consider you either old because you have a good reason not to say, or even more awkward and too much. So, I used to say, "I pr... |
