| I thank god that my parents did not do diapers, pads or alarms. I did use a plastic under the sheets to protect the mattress. I remember having issues, at varying levels, through my mid teens. However, the last many years were not as bad cause I was able to control it with a nasal spray called DDAVP... |

| It sounds like AS from your writing, but whether he has it or not is not something I can't determine. However, I agree with most people here, that your reaction is more important at this time than the accuracy. Dx will change over time, as he grows and learns coping skills. To look at the bright sid... |

| I agree here. A relationship is something I thought I desired my entire life. However, I have no idea how that works or even what a successful relationship looks like. Based on experiences over the last 20 years or so, I would only know what rejection looks like, and I know that well. I would be OK ... |

Am i alone?
No. In almost every example the myth is what people think of me and the argument is similar to how I feel and would like people to understand. |

| @Aldran The only part I didn't agree with: “You cannot escape us, and to change us would lead to your demise.” <-- I made that up. I'm a screenwriter. As for the list, I believe many of these myth do exist about introverts and I think he does a good job of helping people see the other side. |

| After exploring the source article I found a little addition that was left our in this version. I have included it below: “You cannot escape us, and to change us would lead to your demise.” <-- I made that up. I'm a screenwriter.

| I have a question: Do people look different after you get to know them? This really creeps me out. Once I get to know someone they become a different person. Rarely does anyone cross this line, but once they do, it's like they become a different person. I can remember the person they were and I can ... |

| Oh, I wasn't suggesting AS was a result of upbringing - I was saying that people might fail to recognise the traits and MISTAKENLY take them as just quirky or eccentric personal behaviour - caused perhaps by type of upbringing / personal experiences. That's in the case of mild AS - more severe woul... |
