AS Issues...anyone with me?

Post Reply New Topic

So, I'm on the road to discovering all about my AS issuues or tendencies...not sure what to call them since only a few months ago I was just weird and different. Anyways, so here are some of my...things.

- forgetfulness...all the time, leaving things at friends houses, forgettig conversations and remembering random trivial facts instead!

- stumbling in conversations when I get nervous...I have panic attacks but take meds for it

- random jerky movements when I get nervous...today I was taking my senior portraits done and the photographer kept telling me to tilt my headyhis way and that way and then I just started like awkwardly jerking my head instead...

- need my alone time every day...annoys my nosy mum to death

those are some of mine...definitely not all, but I might add some more as I think of them. Do you guys have these or some of these too?

Not personally, although I need time to myself occasionally & sometimes have odd twitches or a stutter. However, from what I've read & heard, plenty of Aspies have the sorts of things you mention.

When I'm nervous I get the head wobbles which is not great when I'm doing a TV show My little finger on my right hand also gets the shakes sometimes though the rest of me seems calm. The most annoying one is the eye twitch, which means I'm reaching burnout and need a Duvet Day to rest.

Familiar phenomena, except for the one about memory. Unless I'm seriously stressed, going through a seizure, or in meltdown, my memory is extremely precise and detailed.

I do need my "alone time", which was an issue in my life until I started living on my own.

I'll put something down and not remember where it is 30 seconds later. I can never find anything.
I have a good memory for conversations, though. If somebody says something interesting or funny, I will remember it word for word, along with any related portions of the conversation.

Yes, the first part, the second part apart from i dont take any medication for it plus i tend to mubble that people have to keep asking me to repeat myself (which i can't stand sometimes).
The random jerky movements sounds like me aswell or when im hyper.
The alone time also sounds so much like me we have quite alot in common, you wouldn't be the only one
I tend to talk too much when i'm overexcited... it could possibly reach up to 1000 words per 5 minutes or more
