| Ugh, now that is extremely selfish. There are too many humans on this Earth; people should be able to control themselves instead of having NINETEEN KIDS! And I thought that having 6 children is too many! Two should be the limit. Stupid selfish humans. |

| Sometimes when someone says something, I'll mimic their tone of voice. :oops: It's embarrassing and I don't purposely do it. It's not like mimicking accents; just their tone of voice, like if they raise the end of a word to a higher pitch I'll do that also. Does anyone else unintentionally mimic oth... |

| I'd say I had it mild but I can't say I'm naturally shy or introverted. I fit into catagory 'C' too. Is there any particular reason you're asking this Q btw? I'm just asking, because introversion, especially a 'severe' INTJ personality could seem like AS. There's a kid in my class at school who cla... |

| People with mild Asperger's Syndrome, how are you certain that you have Asperger's and are not just introverted or shy? And how do you fit Criterion C of the DSM-IV-TR if you're mild, especially if you have a job and friends? C.The disturbance causes clinically significant impairment in social, occu... |

| I've been reading some of the posts about meldowns, and I'm wondering if I've ever had them. My parents told me that I was an easy kid (apart from my sleeping problems) and I never had 'temper tantrums'. But I remember some occasions in my life that I couldn't explain. 1. I used to get so annoyed by... |

| In my case my fear of blowing it would make my mind clouded so no script would help as I would invariably blow some lines and make myself look foolish - and there is no ability to "wing it" so why bother. But if someone judges you on that, then it is them who is the fool, not you. People who judge ... |

I have scripts for answering the phone, greeting people, approaching people, things to say during small talk, buying thing... |

But then there are those contradicting claims that some people with autism look younger than they are, which means they probably start puberty later than their... |

Then to make it even worse for me, my teacher told me to play a scale on the guitar and I temporarily lost all ability to play :oops: .

But I do know the feeling, finding out that your behaviours that you thought were unique, are actually part of a 'disor... |

I also find that pacing helps me think better, but I'm not sure if that's a stim. I usually notice that I'm stimming about 10 seconds after I've star... |
