| I find it's often helpful to whittle a question down to what someone's trying to do, what program(s) and function(s) they're having trouble with etc, just to establish the facts and narrow down what's actually going on. I was once asked 'how to get rid of the thing that comes up with what you did be... |

| I used to suck my thumb until I was eight years old, and I'd hold my cotton pillowcase to my top lip while I did it. I'm now 38 and I still miss the combined sensation lol :( I'd go with whatever makes you feel at home, there's nothing appropriate outside of what makes you comfortable :) Um.....I'm... |

| Simply echoing what's said during sex can be very erotic for a partner, for instance if your partner says 'I love it when you're inside me' then a response of 'I love being inside you too' or 'you feel amazing' can be an adequate exchange. If intimacy involves an element of identifying with your par... |

| Heh, sounds exactly like me a year ago - it's quite a shock when you start reading about this stuff and start to realise it's like reading an exact description of yourself, isn't it? And the more you read, the more it fits and the more it explains... My attitude is that nothing has really changed; I... |

I once told my grandmother I was vegetarian on being presented with Scotch Broth (soup with minced beef). She looked at me in complete confusion and said... 'Och, away. It's only wee bits?!' |

| Not uncommon at all, I'll regularly fixate on a given song or album; I remember having Rammstein's 'Reise, Reise' lodged in my car stereo for nearly two years straight tbh |

| Anyone can be undiagnosed, regardless of age because the system does not pick up everyone. I was told repeatedly that my daughter's problems were down to bad parenting. 3 years ago, when she was 14, we moved from the UK to Sweden and straight away they saw what I was concerned about. She was formal... |

| Speaking from the UK, the first person diagnosed with 'classic' autism here was in 1971, and Asperger's wasn't available as a diagnosis until 1990, at which point even that was relatively unknown. Anyone between approximately 20-40 years old or upwards with autistic traits could theoretically be an ... |

| I only shop in the last hour a particular supermarket's open, 9:15-10pm for Asda or Tesco - there are so many fewer people there, it's a lot easier. An added bonus is that the checkout staff are nearly at the end of their shift so they just wanna ring my stuff through as quickly as possible and get ... |
