| I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2010. Is it called autism spectrum disorder now instead? Or am I still an "aspie" since I originally got that diagnosis?

I completely agree. |

Some people are scared of me just by the fact that they know that I can say honest things at any time.  |

| In my dreams I am always showing autistic traits, I'm never neurotypical. It's like I can't imagine myself being "normal", not even in my dreams. Tonight I dreamed I had a meltdown and that people around me thought I was crazy. |

| I think so, since a woman once asked my mother if I was autistic. I stim a lot, have staring eyes and I am as stiff as a poker. People can see that I am more than just shy. And people talk childishly to me so I can only guess. I can't control myself. I find it interesting that you say you are stiff... |

| I am meeting my doctor next Friday. I'm not feeling bad or anything, but lately I've been very uncommunicative and the only thing I do is walking in circles. I also twirl my hands a lot and stare at the ceiling. I haven't spoken to anyone but my family the recent weeks. I am quite nervous, because I... |

| At times I don't find social interaction exhausting. It all depends on how much I force myself to be sociable. |
