| I've noticed that people like being asked to do things. It may seem like why would they want to spend time with you when they could do this or that. that is OUR logic not theirs. If someone wants to hang out with you they will appreciate your advance and if not then they will just make some excuse w... |

| yeah this happens to me alot. I also forget that people can change. That the person I just thought of as "bad" or "rude" or "ignorant" etc. can actually end up not being that person as time passes. That just because I've classified them as that doesn't mean that is how they will always be. |

| this is why i explain to people that i'm an aspie and i might not socialize with them sometimes. Not to take it personal and if they don't like it they can go find someone else to waste their breath on. |

| I use avoidance. If someone asks me to do something that stressful I say no or come up with an easier option. Its not worth it because most people don't understand why you can't function with chaos around you. |

| I rock back and forth if I am engaged in some thought or activity and often don't notice how violently I am rocking until people are staring at me. I also sometimes talk or hum to myself which makes me sound like a crazy person. It's like an intense inner dialogue goes on in my head and then I say s... |

| I like everything about aspergers the things that make me not like aspergers are directly related to the fact that were stuck on a planet ruled by neurotypicals. Not being able to get a job even though I work harder than the rest and don't waste time socializing. Being depressed because of the curre... |

| I can feel every sound physically in my body. Imagine how (i'm assuming) most people feel standing in the middle of a drumline how the beat goes through your whole body. When someone talks i feel the sounds go from top to bottom through my body and it feels like being shocked. It hurts sometimes and... |

It never makes sense to me because we are weird and some of us aren't that attractive but NT's seem instantly attracted to me and my aspie friends more so than other NTs. They latch on as if w... |

| I have a blanket with a picture of a Native American man and if I make my bed with the picture upside down, I quickly change it or else I will have a bad day. I also see the number 32 a lot when I am going through struggles and it lets me know I am on the right path even if I feel confused. so yes. |
