| Thank you for sharing your experiences. I'm glad to hear that it's not just me but, I'm also not glad to hear it's not just me. It sounds like you all have had some painful overload/meltdown dreams. For me it wasn't so much that the meltdown in the dream was bad, it was actually pretty mild. The thi... |

| Have you ever had sensory overload in a dream? I'll try and keep it short because I know people find it boring when others talk about their dreams. I've been looking for a rescue puppy off and on so that part of the dream is normal. In the dream my husband takes me to pick up a puppy at a shelter. T... |

| I really struggle with executive functioning and it can be so frustrating. Tasks I have to do get avoided and put off if they are unfamiliar or feel overwhelming regardless of how necessary they really are and the more I do this, the more even thinking about them makes me anxious and panic to the p... |

| Could it also be about different ways of the brain processing data? Meaning that, I understood both the database example and the Sally Anne because I can picture the "flow of data". I literally see a box moving from bin to bin, a hole in a database, a white board with the phrase on it, the... |

| Sorry if this was really "I"-centric, the only way I really know how to communicate is to relate stories about myself that may apply to the situation, it's my way of relating, not trying to make it about me. It was important to me after five years of research and wondering. I was diagnosed... |

Every time I do one of these I feel a little like I just read my horoscope. |

| I don't know if this will work for you but, I wear bluetooth headphones and go into my own world with Spotify on at stores so I don't HAVE to talk to anyone unless it's someone who works at the store. I always take out the headphones when talking to employees. I sometimes people are angry and think ... |

There was an argument between myself and some diagnosing psychiatrist about whether or not I am empathetic because of how I am. I am aware of feelings, know what people are trying to do and say (as much as someone ... |

| This is amazing. I have often wondered who believes anything in advertising and how any of it could work on people. The absolute most annoying thing lately is when they use high pitched or unusual noises in ads on TV, to get people to look at the ad instead of down at their phones, tablets, or lapto... |

I am counting her as a friend and not family because there are no blood or marriage ties. In analyzing my life I have realized that I am, fo... |

| I am the same way. I cycle through some of the same interests I've had since I've been an adult, gaining and losing interest, sometimes finding new ones. No matter how much I focus on and talk about an interest now, the pursuit is nowhere near the intensity of interests that I had in childhood (like... |

I usually don't admit this because it makes me sound like an off-the-deep-end fangirl (which I guess I kind of am) but one of my tattoos is from Skyrim. Not obviously so, just enough for m... |
