| Being bullied is a learning experience. It is not right, but at the same time do we want to appear so weak that we need a law to protect us from morons? I think we need to help each other with our selfconfidence which will lead to aspies who are Bully proof. It is a good idea but can't we defend our... |

| I was in the Army for 6 yrs. and am a Veteran of the Iraq conflict. I think it is discrimination but at the same time, from my own experience. You guys don't want to join anyway. Trust me. Logic has no place there. Thats where I first manifested my Panic Attacks and Cyclic Vomiting. |

| My apologies Gedrene. I was on a rant last night and went a bit far on more than one site. I am truly sorry if I have offended anyone. I will be more thoughtful in future posts. Thank you for the check. It was much needed. I will delete that to save others from such a insensitive idea and to save my... |

| I fought my kindergarten teacher for weeks about learning to tie shoes. I told her "There is no point to this, I have Velcro, duh." She didn't get it and eventually I gave in an learned. The things the NTs hold so important baffle me. Like why do people take the training wheels off of bikes. They ar... |

| The title sums it up. I pop my pimples and blackheads every chance I get. I also do my wife's face, which she loves the results. I also sometimes have severe Panic Attacks that lead to a condition called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome which sometimes last for 2-3 weeks. Probably many more conditions, so I... |

| Hi everyone. I'm Jeremy and I have just discovered this forum. I am eager to read through the forums and hear the view of people who may see things the same way I do (which is so rare). I have always been proud of my intelligence and even my unique individuality. I have a bad habit of looking down o... |

| It's very hard for me to lie, though I am capable. I don't do it well or convincingly though. I just choose not to comment when a topic arises that I know telling the truth would be rude to others. BUT, if they specifically ask me to give my opinion or view on the issue. I am completely honest, and ... |

| Personally, I can't help feeling as though Aspies are more likely the next evolutionary step rather than a mistake. All the quirks they list or at least most of the quirks I feel are great traits that I am proud to have. So maybe I don't talk to everyone. Why should I when I can tell that it will no... |

| The only way I see myself as a buzzkill to NTs is when they are completely happy and satisfied with what I see to be a facade or illusion of some kind. And I can't resist pointing out the reality as I see it. I have great communication skills so usually by the time I'm done they realize it too. And ... |

| I am more interested in Heterosexual Polyamory. I am married but often try to find time to include another in the bedroom. Male or Female. If it's a male I don't really interact sexually with him, but will with a female. |

| Hi guys. I'm new here and this is my first post. Been diagnosed for almost a year. I occasionally have severe panic attacks. And from day one I instinctively would get in a hot shower and the sensory overload would block out the panic and associated discomfort. I often switch from extremely hot to e... |
