| Jogging/running is my poison of choice, but it does require a degree of coordination. |

| I wouldn't rule yoga out ... it's pretty easy to design a complete yoga program that require no balance (everything is done sitting or lying down). There are numerous schools and traditions within the umbrella of yoga. Some of the follow a strict standardized set of asanas (poses). Others are very m... |

| I've never found alcohol particularly pleasant. The buzz from 2-3 beers just makes me feel nervous and awkward. So I don't drink socially. I have never been drunk enough to have a headache the following day. I do have an occasional glass of wine or beer with a good dinner, but that's about it. I pro... |

Good luck with the big M. The marathon is still a distant dream for me ... maybe in 2012, we'll see.
Beware the taper madness  |

| I got into long distance running last august, and last week I finished my first half marathon race (21 km/13 miles) in 1 hour 46 minutes :D I used to be a total couch potato ... what little interest in exercise I possibly had as a kid was beaten out of me in the school PE torture. It took me 20 year... |

| I was officially diagnosed last year at age 35, but I am not sure if the diagnosis is correct. On one level it does make sense, but I still feel that my pre-diagnosis self-diagnosis as a lazy & anxiety-riddled NT is actually correct and the AS diagnosis is wrong. Unfortunately I am not sure this... |

| I was diagnosed at 35 by a neuropsychiatrist as 'very high functioning' AS. Personally I have my doubts; I suspect it's just the end result of being highly introverted and neurotic, leading to little social experience and a fear or, well, most things including eye contact. I don't feel much of a nee... |

| Damn, I hopes this would be a thread about long runs (over 10 miles/15 km). I find them rather beneficial for my mood, as long as everything goes well; no injuries developing or blood sugar crashing. |

Not meeting criteria developed by and meant for someone with different wiring is NOT your fault, and getting frustrated, anxious and depressed about that isn't your fault, either.

| I was diagnosed at 35. Until my early 30s I didn't really think anything was wrong as such, since I did not see other's behaving that differently. I did wonder why people bothered being so social when it is so hard, and where all their energy to do stuff comes from. In the 5 years leading up to the ... |

| My social life is very sparse. It just never enters my mind to want to do social things. Any socialization I do is initiated by others - like holiday dinners or concerts at my kids schools.
