when i was in the army [age 24] and a social worker therein suggested it to me.

same q.

I was 13 when I was diagnosed with AS.

Same question.

I was 18 when I moved out for school and I never went back.

My daughter told me I was autistic in 2017. She thought I knew but that I hadn't mentioned it lol.

(I was assessed in 2018).

same question

I already gave an answer.

How often do you encounter people who say the spectrum isn't real?

my older brother thinks this but does not speak it.

same q.

I've never encountered that, but I've encountered lots of other misguided opinions such as

- everyone is a little autistic
- you must be high functioning!
- you need to get out more
- I think I'm autistic too, because I'm shy!
- counselling will probably fix it
or my favourite:
- autistic people are ret*d and / or geniuses



same question

My bigoted uncles both believe the spectrum isn't real.

How much bigotry do you witness daily?

Uh, none??

I don't socialise with anyone who would be bigoted, I seldom leave home, and I don't do news.

same question

i see it all over the media, for sure. when i walked around my neighborhood i saw plenty also, in that the latin americans who live here en masse, don't interact with the anglos, and vice-versa.

same q.

I don't go in public a lot, so not much.

Do you have any stims?

i make a funny suction sound with my mouth which sounds like pulling a plunger out from a syringe with the end blocked off.

same q.

I have a LOT of stims, and I can't go five minutes without stimming even in my sleep. I needed to be medicated because they became injurious. I'm actually back to the self-injurious stage again.

same question

I sway from side-to-side and do a hand shaking/flapping thing a lot. I also visual/auditory stim a lot.

Do you have a good memory?

My short-term is really bad. My longterm memory of my life is quite good but it's mostly sensory-based. I'll remember smells and sounds and textures but very little visual or episodic. My study memory is quite strong and it's spatial. I'll remember where I put bits of information in my brain. I also remember all sorts of details about WP members. Anything I see in written form sticks in my brain because of synaesthesia.

same question

My memory is relatively good. I even remember a lot of things from when I was a toddler. I also easily remember details about other people and it creeps them out. lol

Same question.

i suffer mostly from CRSS.

who here thinks they are a genius?
