| I've been addicted to a smoke-less form of tobacco for a few years. Now, I have to quit. 1.) Because I don't have the money, 2.) Because it stains my teeth. I don't have aspergers, but I tested 136 on the aspie quiz. So logically I abstain from social interaction when I have withdrawals. I have big ... |

I know how you feel, but make a simple beat in a demo-version of FL Studio or something and just play along. If you like metronomes, that can work too. But I find myself getting distracted by them. |

| Mainly I'd love to have a higher singing voice. :? Mine doesn't fit too well for most male parts and I can't hit the higher notes of female parts, so I'm always having to bugger about with songs to make them sing-able. That aside, I've always wanted to play the guitar and I've tried several times t... |

The title says it. We are stuck in the same campus too. And I don't think any of them are going to move bef... |

From the wiki on melatonin: Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may have lower than normal levels of melatonin.

Your title is bad. Make it explain more and remove the typo.
Well.. I have empathy. And I actually do too much to avoid people getting hurt, because I really don't know what will set them off.
Besides that I see myself as having all the traits to some degree. |

| I like your way of presenting both cons and pros! I am no doctor, but I think you have AS. It's apparent that you have its symptoms to some degree. Read about ways to cope with its symptoms. I was also surprised to find that I'm an extreme organizer. Is it common with AS not to be aware of this? I k... |

| You're scared of a lot of things! It could be related to stress. Mental disorders usually becomes worse when you're under stress. No offence, but it sounds a bit like you're trying to make yourself fit the autism term rather than to see if the autism term fits you. Were you born with "people skills"... |

| Nope. My dad dropped out. He has a position at a theatre. My mom is a music journalist and photographer. I'm good with maths, but I dislike the school system. Besides, advanced math is useless to me and if I'll ever need it I'll google it. Just as Jack Black I need rock science, not rocket science! |

Facebook is pretty much like TV. Empty gossip and pictures.
Pictures can be nice. But really...... I just don't give a damn. I can spend my time making beautiful music or read something that actually interests me. Why bother?

| Are you self-diagnosed? If so, I think it'd be better to discuss the matter with your knowledgable mother. See what she thinks. Eventually get diagnosed. Many people mis-self-diagnosed. I'm not saying you are, but it might be the case. If you are diagnosed, go tell her... "Hi mom, I got diagnosed wi... |
