I'm currently in the process of going through my belongings so that I can get rid of things I no longer need. I've always had a tendency to hoard as I get emotionally attached to items, or fear I may need them one day. But I know how bogged down I feel when I can't organise my belongings properly as... |

This really annoys me too. Just the other day I tried telling my family about what true OCD entails because they were all going on about how 'OCD they actually are' about cleanliness. I couldn't really get a word in, though. If anything, when people refer to OCD in this way, what they are describin... |

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's read them.
Haha, you never know!
Some of those stories about your experiences with birthday parties were pretty heartbreaking though. And I can relate to taking things personally, like when you got the broken lollipop! |

... one of your parents is staring at you because they think you're having some kind of seizure. You've actually been bouncing your legs enthusiastically underneath the table. |

In science, there will always be research findings that contradict the previous findings. At the moment I think it comes down to which side has the greatest amount of quality evidence. And unless an explanation arises for why vaccines may cause autism, then we can't conclude that there is any sort o... |

I'd like to hear about the experiences of you who were diagnosed in your late teens or adult years.
What was your temperament and behaviour like as a child and young teenager? How about your inner experiences and thought processes? Why do you think you weren't diagnosed until later? |

This is me, too.
And I've always had this fear of ever becoming pregnant. Not for me! |
