| I don't even bother anymore either. People always assume you're just making excuses, and I'm tired of it. Maybe I'll eventually find some who will understand me, and understand what I'm going through in real life and can connect with them because they have Aspergers as well, or something very simila... |

| Have Aspergers and my mom has never smoked. Interesting, I've never heard this one before. Although, I've heard the vaccination one multiple times linked to autism... though no research really confirms it. |

Yes I do care way too much. Granted, I don't give a crap as much as I used to, but I still do.
And is this not like something almost everyone with Aspergers struggles with on a high level? |

Same here. Feel extremely tired/exhausted, and want to like fall into a really deep sleep for like a day. I hate meltdowns. :/ |

See, this is one of those things with Aspergers that sucks... taking everything literally. I guarantee you this has like the easiest solution ever, but we'll never find it, because people with Aspergers take almost everything way too literally, lol.  |

| You're not the only one. It's a bit difficult for me as well. Reading, in general is difficult. Like, I mean I can read fine and can read fast, but I just never process what I'm ACTUALLY reading... like the bigger picture, and forget about half of what I read. :/ |

Can't say that'd be something that I would enjoy. I absolutely HATE getting wet when I'm not expecting it, especially when I am fully clothed.  |

But, you seem to be the expert with your PHD on trolls, so I shouldn't contradict you. Well, I've dealt with my fair share of trolls, so I know when they're trolling (the bad tr... |

| In theory, someone is eventually gonna kill the thread because when people get bored of it, they will stop posting in it. Watch, I'll probably be the one to kill it this time. |

| Cigarettes, in my opinion are disgusting and I wouldn't smoke them to cope with the stress. I've found that chewing gum for me helps me out with coping with some of my stress, and makes it slightly easier for me to talk to people. I guess it's because I'm not 100% focused on "oh crap, am I gonna scr... |

| You don't realise how high of a percentage that is. Well, I don't know if it's necessarily a GOOD thing, seeing as the number of autism cases has skyrocketed since the 1980's... now to the point 1 out of every 110 kids is diagnosed with autism. The number of people diagnosed with Aspergers alone is ... |

| Well, other than being professionally diagnosed with it... umm, I have a very hard time concentrating, I can become really hyper if I don't take meds for it, and have a hard time remembering what people say (though I do anyway even when I am fully attentive). Also, I have a really hard time sitting ... |
