| I got diagnosed autistic at 21 after misdiagnoses of schizophrenia starting at 16, when I was forced to be evaluated before being privately tutored (my father HATED psychiatry and psychologists/psychiatrists because his younger brother was experimented on as a young child in the 60's). I was accepte... |

| I have severe PTSD, but while I was abused partly due to being autistic, most of the PTSD is due to extremely abnormal circumstances (captivity, attempted murder, etc. by my father). |

| Really alcoholic drinks taste (and smell) terrible. It feels like poison. Mildly alcoholic white wine I have learned to stomach. I won't drink anything carbonated, so that eliminates some alcoholic drinks, too -- carbonation causes me pain. Really alcoholic drinks taste (and smell) terrible. It feel... |

I have a friend trying to join and it says all her emails are in use and when she clicks to try to log in (like to recover a password) she doesn't get an email. So she doesn't know what to do. She'd really like to connect to other autistics. No idea w... |

I have permanent digestive problems from being fully anorexic for about 4 years. I went on a medication called Zyprexa to help me start eating again, but I've stayed on it f... |

Maybe some of these thought patterns are more common in autistic people than with the general population, but I seem them more as changeable personal flaws in th... |

| I wear make up every day. I try to keep it looking relatively natural, but I do wear liquid foundation, concealer under my eyes (I have "allergic shiners"), blush, mascara, and eyeliner daily. Sometimes I wouldn't wear make up if I wasn't going to leave the house, but I've found it helps my mood and... |

| I listen to songs or artists or albums over and over again. Sometimes it's just for a day, sometimes it's for weeks. I listened to my Tori Amos playlist on repeat every day for about a year and still sometimes listen to it. |
