| I avoid fights/arguments as much as possible. so if it looks like it in any way could go in that direction. I don't say it (i will actually run through the convo in my head so that i feel like it finished, but avoid the confrontation anyway). but in my conversation with family and my one or two actu... |

| For the time being I decided to "demote" myself to "not sure if I have it or not" on here. Who knows, maybe OCD can cause Asperger's symptoms. (I seem to relate more to the experiences of people with Asperger's than OCD though, but who knows.) I would promote yourself back up. It seems to me that t... |

| Er.. Well at night I do sort of hop into bed, to avoid something under the bed grabbing me under from my ankles. (habit from childhood, that's all.) I do this if i am sleeping in a bed raised off the ground (like at my parents). But my bed is on the floor so when i go to sleep i do this roll over a... |

| I say that the age each child becomes able to care for themselves, or should be encouraged to stretch their neck out and see if it gets chopped off is individual to each child. Some autistic children will never leave the house. some could probably leave earlier and it would be better than staying wi... |

| I get these moods too. People doing their everyday things seem to crowd in on what you like to normally do. It feels like everything snaps and you just have to lash out, and the last thing that tips my scales is usually something minor and inconsequential. I made my best friend in 4th grade cry beca... |

| I think I may have asperger's and that is why i am here, to see if it is worth going to the psych on campus and getting her opinion or having other testing done.
