| Congratulations! Your post is almost identical to the one I made four months ago. The doctor's preliminary diagnosis went "Your traits are consistent with someone on the spectrum". The doctor told me that it was up to me if I wanted to pursue an official on-paper diagnosis. She said it wasn't necess... |

| I've been told this my whole life! People have said that I put up a "wall" between me and them. They say I seem nice enough but they don't feel that they can get close to me (they're telling other people I know -- mother, mutual friends -- not me). This is most troublesome when it comes to forming r... |

| I literally cannot handle when children scream--- esp if it is the loud pitched hysterical scream (when throwing a tantrum for example)... It agitates me so badly that I become angry and have a bad attitude with others around me... Absolutely without a doubt. I want to start throwing stuff whenever... |

| Also, semi-separate note, One good thing about Canada's drinking age (really Alberta's, since we're a bit lower than most of the country) is that people can already be semi-seasoned drinkers by the time they hit their 20s! I went to college in Seattle but when I was there I met a group of dudes my ... |

If you have a good relationship with your family, tell them you're going to try primping up every so often, and you'd app... |

| I know this may sound gross if you're having stomach troubles, but my brother -- a sailor for 12+ years and so a legendary drinker -- swore by Mexican food, or rather TexMex like we have here in Texas -- lots of gooey cheese enchiladas, refried beans, etc. It worked to cure him every time, and he ha... |

| Wow...y'all really came through for me! Some great advice here.... Honest truth: a lot of guys are scared by a non-girly, selfconfident woman. They're scared they won't measure up, scared also of what their friends will think. I've had guys actually admit to me -- they're not proud of it, just hones... |

| It's been suggested that part of the reason I haven't had a whole lot of luck attracting men (besides being totally oblivious when they are hitting on me) is that I'm not "girly" enough. I would agree with this to a certain extent. Men seem to want to be my "buddy", not my lover. I'm not very femini... |

| IThanks webalina. I have heard quite a lot of medical terminology over the years but the term meno apron doesn't ring a bell. Even Google is not familiar with it. No, I don't think I will ask one of the physicians if I have a meno apron. That's a risk I am not willing to take. Heheh....that term "m... |

However, since my menstruation stopped and my abdomen and stomach are extremely swollen at the moment my GP thought it would be a good idea for me to get a medical check up in the hospital.

I started college late -- I was 22 my first semester and attended for two years, dropped out for three semesters, returned when I was 25 and graduated at 28. People used to think I ... |

| Chocolate mousse does nothing for me but make me swoon in orgasmic delight. However -- my whole life has been filled with my sneezing over things I'm sensitive to. For instance, I always believed that everyone sneezed and choked when they walked down the soap/detergent aisle at the grocery store. Tu... |

| I can relate to that because in retrospect, I usually knew something was up but I don't really know for sure unless it gets really obvious and up until that point I keep questioning what is really going on. For me it's not low self-esteem, I think I just have a totally different interpretation of w... |

| Sometimes I recognize when someone is flirting with me I just don't know how to react to it. I also have been mistaken and thought someone was flirting with me when they were not. When someone winks at me I think it is because they like me. I guess this is not the only thing winking means. I've tri... |

It probably comes from getting poor nutrition, insufficient exercise, and not enough sleep over the past few days. I set myself up to have this freak-out... |
