I'm ISTJ - hitting a 100% score for the "I" and the "T" (the other two I don't remember). Any questions?  |

| I too have some form of phone anxiety. But when I got promoted to manager in a restaurant some years back, it suddenly got easier for me. Because I answered the phone as a representative of the restaurant and not as myself. Gosh.. I'd never be able to do THAT... 8O I always prefer texting. I find i... |

Me too, I look younger than my age as I'm often told. It happened to me only once in my life that I had someone guess my age and he was correct in the first try.
But then, I don't really mind what others might think of me. I'm quite over that by now. |

| Hi, and thank you so much for the warm welcome! :D Where are you from? Germany. And yes, I am more than convinced to be among many friends here and that I will encounter many people who have quite a lot in common with me. I have read through quite a number of posts yesterday and often had a feeling ... |

| I sometimes seem to over-explain things and say the same things in several different ways, because I'm afraid I won't be understood or that I'll leave out some important part. This has occasionally caused others to complain or otherwise express irritation with me. I find this interesting, in light ... |

| Admittedly, I hate children, especially babies. It has been like this all my life, even I was still a child - never liked the little ones. Don't find them cute, but rather "unnecessary": they create unbearable noises/smells, always want attention etc. What I dislike in particular is people congratul... |

| I do prefer wearing the same clothes every day. Well, I've learned not to do that at the office - for work I choose two outfits for each week and then wear them every second day (the outfit that has been worn three times one week will shift to being worn only twice in the following week to have ever... |

| Having to call someone I don't know, it helps me to write down what I'm going to say beforehand and try to learn that script by heart. Answering machines are ideal for that purpose. Having to call people is almost impossible for me, even if I know and/or like them. I always panic. Go through all pos... |

Hi all,
I'm new too - female, 30s, self-diagnosed with AS, currently waiting for official diagnosis. The more I learn about AS since I first heard about it the more it feels like I've finally found a "somewhere" where I belong.
Looking forward to "meeting" you here! |
