| I did almost all the time at school. Elementary was a nightmare. It wasn't until I was put in a special education program that things got a little better. People still did it though. I don't get teased now because I never interact with people, except friends and family. |

| Yes, a lot of issues. I stress out a lot knowing that I am the target of a group and it affects my reading. I can read quite well, but if it is to a bunch of people or even to a person that I am not acquainted with, I stutter and lose my wording constantly and freeze up, which makes it worse. Not fu... |

I hit my face/head or other areas of my body when I get really frustrated or stressed. I have done this all my life. My dad says that it stresses him out a lot and he makes that clear, but I can't help it. I guess he doesn't get that.  |

| I sometimes get weird looks if I begin to stim in public. I never notice myself doing it at first. My most obvious is rocking or my twitches that happen. Nobody has said anything to me in a great while, probably because they know that it would be a pretty ignorant thing to do, unless they want confi... |

Exactly the same here. I am still told that by my dad, but I don't think anyone outside can hear it. Who knows. |

| In High School I was apart of a special education thingy and that still didn't get me any help from some classes. For example, I HATE being the center of something. So reading something aloud or doing anything alone in front of or to a group of people stresses me out badly, so much that it makes me ... |

| Quite often. Sometimes just saying random words to myself or (in private) ranting as if talking to someone else, but I actually feel accomplished after doing that. I think I talk to myself because I can barely talk to other people at all. |

| I wouldn't say that I have a 'favorite' stim, but I have a lot of stims. The one that I do the most is rocking and head-banging. I do that a lot. |

| I try to avoid confrontations at all costs. I really cannot handle them. Which is one of the reasons to why I don't leave my house much at all unless it is with a friend/family or a short walking distance. |

| I have many obsessions. My interest levels will spike in many different things at random times. The way I go about it is the unique and strange part. For example, for some strange reason, I have recently become really interested in turantulas, even though spiders terrify me. I have found myself watc... |
