Knowing that I'm probably an Aspie has made it conclusive in my mind why, in spite of my gifts and talents, I'm a loser.

You're only 15. Friends will come and go throughout your lifetime. True friends stick with you no matter what.

When it comes to typing something, it generally comes off as being arrogant, rude and forceful. And our intent was to be honest, truthful and forthright. lol [Sigh] It's the Aspie curse, I tell you, to utter facts and truth and to be paid back with scorn, insult and derision. But then again, our de...

To pin much of it on PTSD is a mi...

The symptoms you're describing sound more in line with schizophrenia rather than PTSD.

I've had PTSD almost all my life and I have never ever imagined shadowy people.

Women who "used to be men" are still men. Their brains are still that of men's, their voices still sound like a man's, and their male characteristics are still pronounced (bigger hands, bigger shoulders, bigger heads, angular faces, longer femurs, usual male pubic bone spacing, longer torsos, taller...

I've run the gamut from being called "ugly" to "cute" to "pretty" to "striking" to "good-looking woman."

The day I'm called "old," well, I imagine that day will come soon enough. lol

This New York Times article says the "vast majority of Tourette individuals do not have autistic features."

Still check out this Wrong Planet thread, in which another person asked about his Tourette's: Aspergers Mistaken for Tourettes.

Biggest amusement I got from floor tiles was from noticing swastikas in certain hallways in the US Capitol Building. lol Love playing the "make words out of license plates" game and staring at the clothes that go round and round inside large, front-loading commercial dryers. Love looking at photogra...

My instant reaction was to bend down and plant a kiss on his forehead. So you're saying you didn't go through any thought process first? 8O eg. when I saw the tsunami, once the 'Cool destruction pictures!' stage had passed I thought 'they probably need some help' and donated money. Hence I showed e...

This has turned into a quite interesting discussion, I MLJT's has a critical point. I think empathy is hard to measure. Someone who doesn't truly experience empathy won't necessarily know/think they don't. Some of my issues have steamed from me not being able to 'feel' or 'express' my emotions in a...

What does it mean? It means you're different from most other people because you think differently. That when you view life, you view it only from your limited perspective and never consider anybody else's. That at some point in your life, most likely in your 20s, other (normal) people will say, "You...

Took it for a few days. Even was able to sense when the drug kicked on in my brain. Definitely an interesting sensation. Then a couple of days later I started having evil thoughts, like killing people. lol Told my psychologist, who told my internist, who had me come in and explain myself. He took me...
