| Hi Aireal, Welcome to WP! I've read the thread and I'm sorry I don't feel I've much helpful advice (I do hope you can find some way to get your dental issue and possible tumour looked at though I don't know how). Really I just wanted to say that I really liked your choice of username :lmao: :salut:... |

| I already have, and I recognize a lot. It was an odd feeling seeing behaviours I'd been scolded for, or sequestered out of fear just being spoken about as if they were a minor inconvenience. I never understood the concept of being overstimulated, I just know sometimes I felt like I was going to expl... |

| As for the question bellow, about needing to recharge. I simply assumed everyone did that. I find cleaning my room and or reading helps me get the anxiety of being around people out of my system. Maybe everyone does, but for me it's an odd, sudden urge. I'm social by preference but when I'm around ... |

| That means it caters exclusively to illegal immigrants like myself, which Canada doesn't want in it's borders. If you're an illegal immigrant in a country, what do you expect? Most countries would be the same. I was not complaining about that. I was simply stating the reality of my current situatio... |

| Need based health care in Canada is extremely scarce. Especially where I currently live. I would not be currently suffering with a broken tooth if I could find said need based healthcare. My friends and family have been looking high and low for doctors and dentists for my tooth and my tumour on my w... |

| I see. Well I wont impose myself on the community then. I will not be able to get a diagnosis given my current situation, for several years. I am already living with other chronic medical problems, but sometimes one gets "Stuck between a rock and a hard place" as it's said. I will be back when/if I ... |

| sometimes i twitch my eyes but i can control that for the most part. When I get anxious, nervous, or stressed I pace a lot. When I get excited I sometimes I pace but usually I have the habit of flapping my arms and when I am real happy and hyper I like to spin and sometimes flap my arms. When I am ... |

| It's easy for everyone to say "Consult a professional" but when you live without health care there's not much that can be done. I don't have money, I don't have insurance, I'm not even a citizen of my current country I reside in. I understand why people say consult a professional but a degree doesn'... |

I understand but there was no previous question in the post above mine. I was trying to continue the thread. Sorry. |

| I find my face changes a lot, sometimes I am startled by the person I see in the mirror because I do not recognize myself. Maybe this is abnormal? |

| Pushing pieces of plastic or metal between my teeth and gums. When I start I can't stop until I'm bleeding very badly. I also love to pick at my face, and at other people. Once I've picked my face and any parts of my body with blackheads or acne I will then attack my Husband. |

| I still don't have any kind of official diagnosis for Asperger's or ASD However I doubt this score is reflective of my normality. Your total score is: 187. This is above the threshold score of 65. You may have an autistic spectrum disorder and it may be worth consulting a qualified clinician. Here i... |

| I did not bother to read most of the thread, however I can say my handwriting is atrocious. It's gotten me mocked my whole life. Before I came to the conclusion that I might have ASD I thought I might have Dysgraphia. |

| Smiling comes very easy to me if I am genuinely happy or pleased with something. However that is seldom, and when I am thinking or concentrating I often look "Angry". This has been commented on so much in my life that I 'hide' to go think so people don't constantly bother me about it. |
