| I've walked out of pretty much every job I ever had [total? between 17 and 20]. It was mostly because I couldn't cope on the first day, I'd go into a mini frenzy about how I'd never be able to cope in the place for the rest of my life and I'd have to leave. One time, my new supervisor noticed a cust... |

| somebody said about pain tolerances? I got called steroids/terminator and all sorts because of what I pushed myself to in sports, long distance running, swimming etc. When I explained to other kids that I actually enjoyed physical pain sometimes, they thought I was mad! I got laughed at for how I wa... |

| I drive well 98 percent of the time, but whilst I don't struggle with controlling the car, I do find it hard to judge where the ends of the car are when parking. Oddly I have no problem with spacial awareness when going forwards. |

| I was best friends with a sociapath for three years. It wasn't until I stopped talking to him that I realised he'd been using me the whole time. He abuses girls he's with, then acts all sorry and puts on a crying act [ like he imitates how he's seen people cry to make the girl feel guilty and think ... |

| Well, I think, and my psychiatrist thought, I had aspergers traits, but also, borderline personality traits, so he was a bit confused. But if it helps, I think I developed some form of emotional problem very much like borderline, because of things that happened to me. I used to be a really nice, inn... |

| I'm a natural loner, I always used to be on my own when I was in school because I preferred it to being with other people. Now I can be with people for a few hours, but I tend to end up getting teary eyed/ overwhelmed from how hard it is, socialising isn't natural for me. I mostly sit in my room wit... |

| not quite sure if it applies in the same way, but I do tend to copy other people's behaviours and voice style, subconciously, in order to make it look like there's nothing wrong with me. I only realise it afterwards. For example, I'll try to copy the way Jason statham speaks, as people in the films ... |

| ok, I have nothing against gay people, that must be made clear first, but I was about 11 years old, just started my new secondary school, and my form group had to go to P.E [physical education''. I had no friends, and had no real idea of where to go or do. I followed the rest of my year into the cha... |

Oddly I don't struggle with interviews, I tended to almost become someone else to appear normal, vibrant and happy to the potential employer. Then a... |
