For me, even though I had been exhibiting signs since I was 5 or 6, but I was finally diagnosed at the age of 14. For me,... |

| I know I have a lot of trouble when it comes to writing out social interactions, because everyone's a robot when I do. I then I usually go out to like a food court or something and write down everything I hear and see...which is difficult at times. I also will take ideas/insperation from other books... |

| I suppose for most people, looking "autistic" basically means you are ret*d by most social standards. You can't dress yourself, you yell and scream randomly, and basically you're a vegetable. However, most of us with a high functioning form of autism, or Asperger's may look and sound completely norm... |

| I love sweaters and sweatshirts, so usually I'm wearing one or the other. Or both, since my core temperature is probably 0. (Seriously, I'm always cold. I'll have around 5 layers on in August) Then I usually have black jeans and combat boots/Vans. And my hair is usually swept up in some messy bun of... |

Well at the moment I'm obsessed with the human body. So that leads me to looking up diagrams, pictures and any information I can get my hands on. A lot of the times, it's not the most appropriate... 
I'm also obsessed with psychology and medicine...but that's not exactly embarrassing. |

Well, it isn't really a joke, more of a humorous comment my friend said to me.
So I was shaking like crazy before a big saxophone audition, and she notices I'm upset. So she says:
"I'd hug you right now, but you have Asperger's"
I thought that was funny  |
