| Any tips on this subject would be appreciated. I struggle with discussing emotions in general and it's really difficult for me to calm people down; I usually just end up sitting beside them awkwardly (if it ever happened at my own house I would know what to do, but it always happens elsewhere). I'm ... |

| Yeah, I struggle with this too. Usually, I just end up sitting next to them awkwardly while they cry if they're really upset. I don't want to hug them because I hate to be hugged and don't want to cause them more distress if they're the same way. Plus I never know what to say. In my opinion, "w... |

X-Men Apocolypse
I'm currently looking into the science behind the superheroes and the changes that would have to be made to our physical laws to allow "mutants" to exist. Silly I know, but rather interesting  |

| I can never figure out the dynamics of an online friendship... it's not that I don't want one it's just that I never know when to respond or with how much information or with what questions. >~< |

| Look Me in the Eye! by John Robison was quite interesting, however it's a memoir and not research based. I've also read Neurotribes by Steve Silberman, but the book has many flaws (bias, underrepresentation of "low-functioning" autistics) and the author has made some disparaging comments ... |

| Generally trying to figure out what's up with me..... not sure if I have severe enough symptoms to be autistic or if it's just severe introversion and geekiness. :scratch: It's probably silly to be so concerned with this as I can only try to be diagnosed with anything after I finish school in a few ... |

| Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has these problems and how they've overcome them. Whenever I get too excited or happy about something my chest feels really weird and it's like I can't breathe properly, and when there's a loud sound, strong scent or touch (being too close to people, the tags on cl... |

| I have taken the AQ test and the Aspie test (scores in my signature), but I was worried that the results are inaccurate due to my age. I can't find any tests aimed specifically at teenagers (I found one but it required Office to download, which I don't have, and I found a child one but it was for pa... |

| One of my interests is in theology so if you'd like to please post your religion, a description of your beliefs, and why you believe that. While I don't mind many posts about Christianity, I especially encourage those with less common or lesser known religions to post. I'm not going to be debating o... |

| Personally, I don't like the idea of abortion. I think it should only be used after careful consideration and preferably early enough in term to be able to take a oral contraceptive. However I believe making it illegal will lead to back alley abortions and shaming and I think it's better to have saf... |

I stimm (rocking, singing/humming, hand movements, pacing, etc), have special interests, am extremely introverted, and am fairly analytical among other things.
