Other folks say it depends on the severity of your symptoms. My family has a diverse amount of diagnoses, until it comes to me and my brother. My mother is paranoid schizophrenic (severe). My older son has tourettes syndrome. My younger son is ODD, a lot like his brother but without the tics. My old...

I've only been diagnosed with anxiety. It is even hard for me to walk down a crowded street or in a mall. I just plow through until I get to where I'm going. It doesn't help that my actions cause people to notice me. Gah.

Ugh. I was waitressing when I was 26, and this couple asked me when I would be done high school. :roll: I'm 36 now, and people still treat me like I'm in my twenties and guess my age to be around 25. It's not as bad as people thinking I'm still a teenager. You should see when I'm out with my 17-year...

Yeah. That happened to me all the time in school. I'd have friend, and she'd ditch me because her other friends thought I was a nerd or embarassing to be around. I didn't say the right things, didn't have cool kids habits, etc. Didn't help that I had to wear my brother's hand-me-downs and wore cheap...

A lot of my friends have been older, but some younger, rarely any the same age. Older people have more maturity and know that shallow people are not cool no matter how easy they are to be friends with. It's better to have friends with quirks that you can at least trust. Younger people think older pe...

Ah, hyperboles. I love them now that I know what they are. Yesterday someone asked me if I had a "business number". I said no, since I didn't have my own business and therefore didn't have a number for that non-business. Then I asked if they meant a "work" number. Yeah. Well geez. Of course I have t...

Someone linked this forum from another one that I post at regularly. I'm not diagnosed, but my kids have similar diagnoses. I have a brother who is probably more autistic and aspie. I'm not sure if I'm aspie, but I sure can relate, and have posted in a few threads. I have been diagnosed with anxiety...

After reading the posts here, I had to relate one story in particular: I was sitting in a bar, waiting for my boyfriend when I as 20. A guy came from a table near me and asked "is this seat taken". I said no, and pushed the chair beside me towards the table he came from, thinking they needed another...
