| I can't stand Failbook. I had an account that I finally deleted in 2015. It goes too fast, and to be honest; I found myself muttering "I don't give a damn" constantly about just about everything people posted. I also never knew what to say to anything. Besides the fact that to me, social m... |

| I'm no expert, but much of what you describe sounds familiar for me and I think of as stimming. I sit back in my desk chair and run the edge of my roll top desk between my toes, brush my fingers back and forth on the edge of my laptop. I scrunch the piping of my ottoman between my toes, run my thumb... |

| Have you ever chewed on a Barbie Doll foot? Not a post good-chew, non-chewy Barbie Doll foot, but a good old pliable pre-mid eighties Barbie foot. The most satisfying of all chews. Sadly, my sister and I tried to recapture this childhood love of Barbie foot chewing a couple years ago ... and the tex... |

| I don't know what advice to offer, I bad with advice. But I recently went for an evaluation. Got a diagnosis which didn't totally fit and I'm kind of reeling from it now. I hadn't built up an identity much. If someone had told me a few years ago I was an Aspie, I would have laughed at them, but I sp... |

| The word "imagination" can have different meanings. The best that I can make out is that they are referring to social imagination , such as trying to figure out what someone is feeling or thinking. So even though I have a very vivid imagination (I operate on 5 or 6 planes at once and seam... |

| But that conclusion is wrong, and in my opinion just silly. After all, autistic children are notorious for being lost in their own worlds. Well, what were we all doing when we were lost in our own worlds as kids? I, for one, was using my imagination! -- but keeping it to myself, rather than trying ... |

| You're lucky you got yourself a husband Most of us can't even date in the first place Thanks, I know I'm lucky. It's not easy by any stretch of the imagination. For whatever reason though, he was happy or at least all right with dealing with me. I will admit though, we had similar interests when we... |

| That sounds like putting the cart before the horse in at least two respects... I agree, and that is a good way too put it. I feel like there's no box, so she's trying to fit me into another while acknowledging I don't fit in it. As I've said previously, I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does. I... |

| Welcome to Wrong Planet, TinyHat. Thank you. :D The having an imagination because I'm a fiction writer sort of threw me. I've known a lot of artists and musicians and writers over the years with Aspergers. As far as the repetitive behaviors, narrow interests, strict routine, etc... She explained to... |

| I believe Aspies can indeed have great imaginations. More than your standard NT. Have you ever determined what your personality type using the Myers Briggs tests? Here is a link to one of the test if you haven't. There are other free tests on-line. You assessment as SCD rather than Asperger's reall... |

| I recently took the ADOS, and received a diagnosis of Social Communication Disorder two and a half weeks ago. It has bothered me since. Before my therapist gave me the results she had me read the DSM-V for Pragmatic Social Communication Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I admit, in my discomfor... |
