As the title suggests.
I know I do, because when I can explain what I'm saying in my head, but when you actually talk to someone, you don't say it well, and you try to say over and over again until you get it right or something similar to that.
Do most of you all experience this? |

| Well, the only thing I can say is that, being an aspi granted me things that my peers lack. For instance, I'm the fastest reader in my English class of about 30 students, I can certainly think differently than my peers, and I certainly have talents that make me who I am. But on the flip side, I'm cl... |

Actually, I can't resist laughing when someone gets hurt foolishly, but only if it's for fun, and they realized what they did was stupid.  But I can't stand it when someone gets hurt because someone did something foolish on them. |

| Meltdowns can be seen as an emotional and sensory EXPLOSION; lack of safety, extreme emotional reaction, not responding effectively. Shutdowns can be seen as an emotional and sensory IMPLOSION; retreating to a safe haven, lack of intellectual processing, responses are not the same as in normal conv... |

| Yes, I've been bullied before, and it was hectic times for me. If I get bullied, I use the less violent way, and tell the councilor or someone with control, and I let them take care of it. I believe violence isn't the answer either, but there's times where you have to "bend" your ethics a bit, and t... |

| If you don't use facial expressions a lot, that probably means that you have few. Possibly so. In regards to having a lot of interests, I'm not sure, I don't think you need to have all the symptoms to be diagnosed. Well, to be honest, I can see concepts like language and mathematical concepts, but ... |
