| I honestly feel like very few of the things I experienced that everyone--including me--classified as panic attacks actually were panic attacks. They were mostly meltdowns or shutdowns. They can all look pretty similar, but they can definitely be categorized by how they felt in retrospect. The true ... |

| NOTE: Some of the specific examples in the numbered list could be triggering; if you have experienced any type of abuse, please be cautious in reading them. I've had similar experiences. I think it's easier to be taken advantage of when you're on the spectrum, and easier to feel like you don't dese... |

| My mind is just constantly under attack by bad thoughts like it's a computer that's been infected with viruses. Even when I was a child, my mind was constantly undergoing unwanted and invasive thought cycles. This sounds a lot like me. Sometimes I even know the thoughts are irrational, but trying t... |

| I used to have very bad melt downs. I used to need to flap my hands when I felt anxiouse. Then I smoked pot and it cured me of these things. Not sure if it would do the same for you but you could try medical marijuana. It would have to be psychoactive to get the transformative effect. I'm happy to ... |

| I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I doubt most would find what you're relating "messed up," though some--perhaps NTs in particular--might find some of it odd or unrelatable. 1) Yes, I experience issues with stimming in order to try and focus properly. Lately I've been using one of those... |

This will probably be really long; I apologize in advance, but I hope at least some of you will read. My ability to function seems to fluctuate a lot. I consistently have had periods that I ... |

| Hi, oSovereign , I've heard of some people on the spectrum saying some of their obsessions seem to become more "generalized" as they age, or for the obsessions to feel "less intense" in ways than they used to. I used to have obsessions that would seriously encompass all aspects o... |

I have a couple professors who know about me, and that's very helpful. Wow, cberg . Your boss physically attacked you? Or verbally assaulted you? E... |

| I don't usually do this on purpose with people. The only ones I do it with regularly are very close friends who understand this "quirk" and a professor of mine, who has discovered she is likely an undiagnosed Aspie herself. And then it's like an inside joke, because we know we both do this... |

I've had a few series I liked, but I was always more into the culture and language and whatnot. Sexism just doesn't make sense , and if something doesn't make sense to me, it strikes me as wrong. ... |

I don't know how much is too much to expect of myself, and I don't know how much is too much to expect of others. I have no reliable way to measure what others are expecting of me,... |
