| Sorry, I've had 7 different surgeries over 7 years, but eventually got used to all the scars... So I can't give you any tips. Guess you are highly sensitive to bodily sensations/pain. I'd suggest searching the board for those terms, as I'm certain there are dozens of such topics with many replies al... |

I squeal very high pitched, like a pig I guess, when happily excited.
I growl like a dog when very angry.
Purring at the cat.
Maybe more...
Definitely a thing I hear a LOT from others on the spectrum as well! |

Very, very careful.
Also applies to stuff from others.
I do lend books and stuff to people, but if they take too long I ask for it back.
If it's damaged in any way they can forget lending stuff from me again!! ! |

| I was told to serve up "a couple" meatballs on my niece's dinner plate. I gave her two. My mom added a third. "A couple" equals "two" as far as I'm concerned. Also, I don't know if this is AS related or what, but I've been dealing with on-and-off anxiety all night. I don't know what the precise tri... |

| Kenjitsuka, I'm not having a go at you, but everyone is entitled to an opinion. There's no need to attack someone who disgrees with you. We've all been brought up in different ways, and have had different experiences. You don't know the experiences of the others' here. For all you know they could h... |

| Paxfilosoof, again sorry for the confusion earlier. I'm really scared about the neurotypicals who always want to change other people (many neurotypicals want to do that). This is a bad and scary thing indeed. I think however that they do this a) unconsciously for the most part and b) that they only ... |

| This one isn't recent, but one I remember. When I was younger, I was living with a friend of mine, and we lived right beside her parents. We both worked at the same place and had to share a car. We were both working on this day, and she took her lunch (right around suppertime) and came back and sai... |

| Reading this book explaining NT behaviour: http://afieldguidetoearthlings.com/ and thinking: "Huhhhh?". Really eye-opening so far. I thought my knowledge of general psychology and 25+ years of observing NT behaviour and interaction had yielded good results, but this info is great. Great, but kind of... |

It helps temporarily... Best to get therapy sessions talking to a qualified person that KNOWS ASD's!! !
And some good meds in the mean time.
ECT is really a very last ditch effort.... 
I think nowadays just used when actively suicidal and psychotic at the same time! |

| Today I was at the doctor. I was summoned for seemingly no reason. My psychiatrist had asked for a referral to get a DEXA scan made. The assistant had called and left me a message (moment 1: I don't answer the phone): "The doctor would prefer to see you.". I texted my mom if she would call to make a... |

| The thing is, you HAVE to believe you are one of the 20% who can get better. Why wouldn't you be one of the 20%? I found cognitive-based therapy most helpful, and a lot of that is learning to reframe the way you see the world. The toxic crap we have flying around in our heads holds us back. You can... |

Unless you have celiac disease cutting out gluten has been proven time and again to be nonsense.
But clearly there is always the placebo effect!
As long as you BELIEVE something works, your brain will work with you a little on that.
But in actuality; don't bother! |
