| OK, so I don't really buy the extreme male brain hypothesis, and I think the idea of a gendered brain is kind of bogus to begin with. But I took an online test & thought it was kind of strange to note that my brain is really "male", according to the researchers anyway. (I'm a woman and self-diag... |

I am so tired of seeing some people who don't seem particularly bright being so ridiculously successful, so much more successful than I ever could be, because they kn... |

| I can relate. I've also taken logic and calc, and I share your strengths and weaknesses. I use flashcards to help with the memorization--connecting the rules and formulas with their names. Like it does for you, the logical/mathematical part comes pretty naturally for me. |

| I think I'm an alright driver, but then again so do all the terrible drivers out there... I love to drive manual. It's one of the few times when I feel reasonably coordinated. Driving is stressful for me though, because of my OCD. I always feel like there's someone in my blind spot, even though I ch... |

| I hardly ever read fiction, let alone chick-lit. The only fiction I ever read is short sci-fi stories. There are some really good sci-fi anthologies out there and I can read a story in one sitting. But when it comes to longer books, I pretty much stick to non-fiction about math & science. |

| I used to have this kind of OCD. It was centered around a fear that I had miscommunicated or hurt someone's feelings inadvertently, and the associated compulsion was reassurance seeking. Sounds like you have a similar problem, OP. |

| I've been told that I have tics. I am diagnosed with OCD, but my OCD treatment isn't helping with these tics. Here's how they work: A bad thought pops into my head--something that makes me really, really uncomfortable. As an automatic response to this thought, I swear or say other words out loud, or... |

| I take quite a few meds for my OCD. I can't function without them. They help a lot, so I'm all for meds when they really help. But there's something I'm confused about. Lately I've been having depressions that lasts for months and "highs" which last for about 2 days. I love the highs. I feel like I'... |

At some point, after a little deliberation, I go to turn on the light. The trouble is I've never been able to find that point where the de... |

| I can totally relate to this. I have OCD and probably HFA. For me it's anxiety and mental rituals of OCD that block me from doing what I want. It really does feel like my mind is not under my control. |
