I love to search for wild flowers. I have a collection of photos from all the different species I've found.

| I actually ended up leaving the crisis counseling thing because I felt anxiety over interacting with the other counselors. It felt very ironic. I meshed well with the callers, and I felt comfortable around them. But I felt the counselors didn't like me, and I felt awkward. I still got the para-couns... |

| I am still trying to figure out whether I have OCD or AS. I do ritualistic/compulsive behaviors and I have obsessions. I generally find my behaviors and thoughts pleasant, but I get distressed when I try to stop. It is almost like I can't stop. I have tried to cease compulsions when they have become... |

| I have either AS or OCD (self and psychology educated friend diagnosed), and I have a formal diagnosis for ADD. I am shy about disclosing my ADD because I am afraid people will assume I got the diagnosis for the Adderall (I live in a university town). That is the only thing I worry about when disclo... |

| I am diagnosed ADD and self diagnosed AS. I wander a lot. I don't pay attention to what the group is doing, because I stare at the ground (that is where the flowers and animals are). I lose track of groups I am supposed to be traveling with because I notice an interesting thing, which I must stop an... |

Sometimes they occur in clusters and mess up my ability to focus all day and make me feel irritable and sad. Other t... |

| It took a while to read up enough on social skills and psychology (which is now a topic of fascination for me). After reading enough to comprehend people, I was able to seek out more advanced opportunities for skill building through volunteerism. It took me two attempts to make the cut, but I got a ... |
