I tend to dress rather formally. I have a collection of solid-coloured shirts that I combine with either dark, no-rip jeans, khakis, or black slacks. I have a few overshirts that I sometimes wear over these solid shirts. I have one formal, long-sleeved shirt that was originally white, but I tie-dyed...

Do I feel lonely? Only in a crowd of people. I don't feel 'lonely,' per say, but I do feel alone . Perhaps it is simply that I am aware that I am alone. Lately I've been having a lot of panic attacks and emotional meltdowns because I've been feeling aware of this a lot lately. I have never been unde...

Well, my brother left for college about two years ago, but even as young children we never had a "sibling rivalry." I was always reserved, and he was a bit more . . . NT, I guess. 'Very sociable.

I have difficulty telling when people are being facetious, sarcastic, or ironic. I almost always answer rhetorical q...

I know it's a pretty common problem with Aspies, but for, well, my entire life I have had issues with regulating my voice, particularly in the aspect of how loud I speak. Sometimes I'm being told that I am "too quite," or am "mumbling." Other times people tell me I'm speaking "too loudly," or am "ye...

I have certainly seen some Aspies on message boards who had atrocious typing, but it doesn't seem to be the norm. When I'm frequenting NT message boards/pages, I often get called out on typing eloquently and falling into language that reads more like a college dissertation paper than part of a conve...
