| I'm coming very late to the thread, and I really hope I'm not breaking any rules for responding to this. I was diagnosed at 24-ish but didn't come to terms with it until maybe 2016. It was rough in the beginning for me, because I wasn't actively looking for a diagnosis, I had joined this forum befor... |

| I guess I'm interested in hearing from Asperger's parents about how they deal with their NT children and the challenges that they have. I have always been conscious of the fact that I annoyed my parents with my expectations and emotional behavior just as much as they annoyed me (my mom screamed at ... |

| Fluorescent lights make a soft humming sound just before they're about to break down, after that the flickering starts. It's the humming sound that kills me, feels like having a hive hovering over you. I've walked out of classrooms because of this, concentration under this circumstances is almost im... |

I have an order in my head in which pleasantries must be said, someone changes the order and I either go blank or just blindly follow the script even though I know it's changed. It's pretty embarrassing and I usually notice that I'm doing it wrong, bu... |

| The huge gatherings are bad. The Christmas-y songs everywhere are annoying. People rushing in the streets to go buy things is like watching very chaotic stampedes. But what really kills me it's the presents. I don't get the idea of giving gifts at a particular date. And I hate getting presents in ge... |

| Here's my two cents. I had selective mutism from age 10 to 16. It wasn't as bad as me not being able to talk at all outside my home or similar, but it was brought on by stress and anxiety, so the more stressed or anxious I was, the less I talked, if it became too bad, I didn't talk at all. The worst... |

| Thanks a lot for your ideas. I don't live in the US nor Canada, so I can't really buy there, but, I could look for other shops that do similar orders here at home.

Firstly, I can only wear clothes that are at least 80% cotton, and they can only be loose f... |

Thank you all for you advice. I'll think about it and see how it goes.
Just to clarify, this isn't about the sex thingie, this is about we both having very different conceptions of the world and how we both react very differently to same words.
Any way, thanks. |
