| I tend to stumble over my words sometimes, mispronouncing things and garbling my words. I think I talk a little too fast. |

| Case in point, I just got a facebook account. I added someone as a friend, and she "facebook rejected" me... I spent an entire day freaking out about it, thinking "What did I do?" "Does she hate me?" Turns out, because I didn't have my last name listed, and I had an old-ish picture posted, she didn'... |

Dear random people who want to get my attention,
Please do not tap me, poke me, or shake me in any way to get my attention. Doing so makes me extremely uncomfortable, and I have a hyperactive startle reflex. Please just say something if you need to talk to me. |

| Highly social people make me feel weird. Kind of annoyed and confused all at once. And by "highly social", I do not mean people who have lots of friends or are otherwise outgoing. I mean people who are obsessed with conforming to social structures. People who play social games which I've never been ... |

| I know what you mean... I ended up getting myself banned from yahoo answers for posting a question that was slightly inappropriate (sexual health related, a little too graphic). I think suspending me rather than giving a warning was overly harsh...still I acknowledge that I shouldn't have done it. |

| I'm a bit of a grammar nazi. I used to correct people's grammatical errors all the time - until I figured out that it really annoys people, so I tried to cut back a bit. |

| The L Word. This surprises some people, as it's a show that revolves mainly around social situations. But - I guess I like watching it because it helps me understand that kind of stuff better, as an observer rather than a participant. Also, the humor is kind of off the wall - very aspie-friendly.

I alluded to this in another thread. People often describe my mannerisms as "stiff", "awkward", or "twitchy". I know one or two people who actually call me "twitchy" as a nickname, as in "Hi Twitchy!"
Is this an aspergers thing? Does this happen to any of you? |

I'm 15, but I go back and forth between feeling slightly older than I actually am, and feeling a lot younger. I love kid stuff, like kids tV shows and cute things.  |
