| Have 3 english staffies myself :) Love them to bits as individuals but also the breed. Emotionally aware, expressive and at times are soft and openly love unconditionally... but also love nothing more than to play rope/stick/ball, go for walks and play fight with each other. They dont loose hair, ma... |

As someone with HFA i feel like autistic people have common issues they face, and more often than not di... |

| Do you have much anxiety? Sounds similar to what I go through when i have an anxiety attack. For me it usually results in me having to go meditate, sit by myself and not talk to anyone for a while, put headphones on with no sound, and if im home i'll have a shower and go take my dog for a walk in th... |

| No you dont sound ret*d by any means, just depressed. Read up on neuroplasticity, its not a concept, its real. People suffer major head trauma and are told they will never do certain things again but end up being totally fine. My aunt for example. If you dont have anyone to speak to call a help line... |

Ive had some serious head trauma from a career of motorbike racing and massive accidents. Ive often wondered if thats what causes similar feel... |

| I see things in the $10 analogy. We ALL have $10 to spend. Some spread it out evenly and are pretty good at everything, my experiences with myself and other aspies is that we spent $8 in one particular area and leave 20c for social situations and the rest for other day to day interactions. My point ... |

| In large crowded noisy spaces where i get sensory overload i get some obvious ticks which ive learned to hide fairly well (like head twitch to the left or right eye squint) so not many people notice it, and usually wrap my hands tight over my thumbs, and often catch myself rocking when i sit.

| ALL things sexual should be met with total consent from both or all parties, anything that deviates from that (doing something that someone does not want) is undoubtedly form of sexual abuse. I guess the legal definition for rape fits within that spectrum, but either way it should be treated as a cr... |
