This has happened to me.
I will get really into something, and then lose most of my interest in it.
My special interests can also be cyclical in that I am into them for a while, lose some interest, and then get back into it again. |

I do feel guilty or ashamed sometimes and I know it is not good.
I just feel that Asperger's makes things more difficult than they otherwise would be, but I would be a different person if I didn't have Asperger's. |

| I am an only child, but I don't feel that people stereotype me because of it. Most people have siblings, but being an only child is not unusual, so one should not feel weird or bad because of it. I cannot remember anyone every doubting the fact that I am an only child It might be hard for someone wi... |

I feel this way at times.
For example I might go to a social event even if I know I might feel awkward, and probably won't really enjoy it that much. |

I like to run and find it enjoyable. It is a good way to stay in shape and spend time outside.
I run for some of the same reasons that you do. |
