Hi

Post Reply New Topic

It's done to post an introduction, an't it? Hello. Hm. I'm female, undiagnosed, high-functioning, maybe shadow. Sometimes I think I'm just stretching, calling myself Aspie. Then other times I wonder how I mix with the humans at all. It's times like that I remember why I think I am and why I looked so long to see what was different. I wear earbuds to keep from having to hear grocery store music. I trained myself to memorize my favorite music well enough to use it to force the songs from my head if they got there. I walk around looking just past everyone, I almost never make eye contact. But it's conscious. I used to try to force myself to get used to it, figuring it was merely a confidence problem. Then I read about AS... some time after that I decided I wasn't looking at people anymore. It's like I can still see them looking at me even when they've walked away, and I spend ages wondering what the look meant. A lot of Aspies have face blindness... is there such a thing as hypersensitivity to faces? It's not that I remember them so well, but still, they're there.

And I do that color thing, assign colors to words, numbers, and letters. But I dunno if that's AS. It's just fun.

Welcome to the Aspie world . I'm female and undiagnosed too.

Have fun in this forum!

Hey and welcome to WP

Hi!

Welcome to Wrongplanet!

I hope you enjoy posting here!

Hi and welcome to WP.
If you find the colours always 'default' to the same ones all the
time then it's Synesthesia - not unique to AS but quite common as
a side effect. It's harmless and as you say can even be fun and
helpful in remembering phone nos etc.
On the subject of eye contact,I was always conscious of this but
before I knew about AS,my mind was telling me it must be impolite
to always look at others when communicating.Now I know the real
reason and try to make an effort to look (but not stare ! )

Hi Irishwhistle!! Welcome to WP!! hope you enjoy it here.
Are you from Ireland??

I guessed she might be from North America due to the spellings she used in her original post.

Hi and Welcome,

Do you like mustard?

Church of the Perpetually Seared Sinuses maybe... Church of the Rabid Heartburn. Garlic. Hm.

Not irish, I just play a tin whistle, or pennywhistle, also known as an irish whistle and musical torture device, in the hands of some, me included.

It is Synesthesia that I have, I have always had certain colors associated with each letter and number, whole words, names, people, sensations. I think I have the midlest form, though, rather than finding my knee tickles when I eat turkey or something like that.

Do you understand how fascinated I am by you?
