| I wiggle my thumb toes or make small, patterned movements with my feet almost constantly. I'm curious, though, are you distracted by your own stimming? I find it far easier to concentrate when doing so. Well, the whole concept of stimming is actually new to me, but I realize that's what I'm doing n... |

| Well, I'm in a class right now and I tend to play with my phone or something... I can't just sit idle and only pay attention. I like to keep my hands and mind somewhat more occupied. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for something less distracting to others/myself that might look like I'm... |

| I don't know what my exact Dx actually is, since I got it through a chain of people (doctor told mom told sister who finally told me), but I'm going to guess I'd be labeled as "mild" considering I can socialize and I can keep my job in which I work with customers all the time... but I have very defi... |

Very dangerous, actually. I suggest no girls respond to this, and talina, if you really are what you claim to be, don't go posting about trying to meet others like this.
There are dangerous guys out there who would take advantage of this kind of thing to hurt girls. |

| Uncontrollable rage... been there, all my life. I have been handling that aspect of myself for as long as I can remember. For one, I learned to remain calm and not let things get to me, so I can maintain control. When things get beyond my ability to handle, I have learned to recognize the signs and ... |

| Totally depends on the party. For one, I don't drink, and never have, so any party that centered around alcohol has been pretty much boring for me. Although one notable exception was totalllllly AWESOME! (the two hot chicks making out above my head I think made the party for me...) Ahem. Anyway. If ... |

| I'd call it more a curse than a blessing. My special interests are of no practical use - they are even detrimental in one case. I can't live up to my potential, I'm stuck in a dead-end job even though I know I am capable of doing more. Taking the actions necessary to improve my job is difficult. Get... |

Just took the test twice
Both times I scored identical in verbal memory, 84th percentile. - Above Average
The word list DOES change.
For the Executive Functioning, I first got down in the 14th percentile, (low average) and scored in the 68th (average) the second time. |

Hi!
I'm new here too, and yeah, I understand what you say. It certainly rings true, these things we read on here.
It's nice to finally find an explanation for our issues as well as others with similar experiences. |
