| I don't know, and don't care. But I don't like the idea very much. I just want to be treated like everybody else. And however, in school I never go to the school cafeteria, because there's always too much people, and also because I never eat at school since I started high school. In middle school I ... |

| Dunno. But people said they laughed at me for that because I was a moron for not being able to do it. Expecially younger kids told me that, because when I was 12 I still couldn't do it, and they were 8-9 and they alredy could do it. I learned to tie my shoe laces only the last year, when I was 14, a... |

She has worked with autistic children for 30 years, children that had every type of ASD, from the most low-functioning ones to the high-functioning ones. I identify more with autistic men on wp. Ditto, but I also identify more with autistic guys I m... |

| I think that it's overdiagnosed. I have my reasons to think so: I saw people that claimed to have AS and were much more better than me: they looked very outgoing, had no obsessions that absorbed all their time like happens to me most of the times and the "condition" didn't seem to have a negative i... |

| This is weird. I see people claiming that AS is overdiagnosed, but I see others saying that AS is underdiagnosed. But most experts say that it's nor overdiagnosed neither underdiagnosed. Personally, I think that it's overdiagnosed. I have my reasons to think so: I saw people that claimed to have AS ... |

| About me, I put "depends" in the pool because it depends on my mood. There are days in which I feel very optimistic, and others in which I feel very pessimistic. |

I don't really care. However, this is another reason why I won't say to people I have AS. This would onl... |

| I highly dislike having my hair cut. I would never cut my hair, is my mother wouldn't bring me to the hairdresser. I hate hairdressers because they costantly tell me to remain seated and to stop moving, and I can't do those things. This is why I hate haircuts. |

| Same for me. They make a terrible mix. I've always been an aggressive person (according to the psychiatrist who make the last diagnosis even because of ADHD), and I must take my meds to stay calm and be able to do things more "normally". |
