| I've been looking into Square Pegs and Redmond/Eastside-Aspergers for awhile but Square Pegs doesn't have meet ups around the Redmond/Woodinville area and Redmond/Eastside-Aspergers only has a couple people attending each meet up (at least according to the meet up page online). Is there any chance o... |

| I also started becoming very afraid of germs, food poisoning, and vomit/vomiting. I had food poisoning when I was five so that might be part of it. I do such a good job at avoiding the flu that I have never gotten it, even when my whole family did. I dread flu season. I have only thrown up once in t... |

I am a bit sad because I don't really have any friends right now, because I had 2 and they left for college but they had been sort of drifting away for awhile anyways. Things I like inclued The Big Bang Theory, Star Trek (mainly DS9), r... |

| Does anyone here have Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder? I have never been a big eater and I have been getting less and less interested in food sence I stoped growing, and I am underweight. I Really do not like the feeling of having much food in my stomach. |

| I think it's a way of getting sensory imput and having control over sensory imput. For example when I stim with my hands it seems to help my brain understand where my hands are. |

| Maybe you could alter a normal sit and spin so that it has a larger less likely to tip over bass. You could probably do this by just screwing a piece of plywood to the base. |

| You might want to look in to listening therapy as well as OT. I have been doing OT for 8 months and I think for me it has helped mostly with my social skills and tactile defensiveness. I am doing listening therapy for my hearing but I am just on my 3rd week, so I am not sure how it is working yet. |

| I think that could be a stim, or it could be a tick. I have had both types at some point in my life. To me it seems like I have more control over stims and they normally make my sensory problems feel better, I hardly have any control over ticks and they do not usually make me feel better, they are j... |

Do not worry too much. Just be yourself, and if yourself does indeed have asperger's then a decent psychologist who specializes in ASD should recognize that you have it
As far as I know about being developmentally average or ahead, is that's what makes it asperger's, and not HFA. |
