I never rocked before I read more into ASDs, so starting it was a conscious thing for me. But I noticed it made my other unconscious stimming (foot-shaking, tapping fingers, eye-moving) stop. I'll do it when excited, nervous, anxious or startled. If I'm not rocking, my foot, arm or hand is shaking o...

I didn't realize how socially isolated I was until college--but in high school I had a few VERY close friends and didn't realize I lacked the skills to interact on an acquaintance basis.

Hi there, I've been lurking for a little while but I figured I'd actually say something. I'm Marianne and I'm in college for writing and art, and I love animals and the outdoors above everything else. I'm also obsessed with animation and I'll talk your ear off if you don't tell me to shut up. I'm ni...
