| The conversations in my head never stop. I'm either reworking how an earlier conversation should have happened, what I should have said, etc.. Or like you said I am practicing what I'm going to say. Except I swear it never comes out like I practice, but does that stop me from doing it every time? No... |

| Ok. My main sensory overload is sound, so first I want to tell you I understand the frustration of trying to get sleep. So now what I have done to cope with the sounds. Because I live a "normal" life with a husband and kids. I also work full time. So here we go. I first started narrowing down the ex... |

| Bill, You beat me to it. I was going to also say, "Have you ever heard of ear plugs?" I use them almost every night during the summer because the outside noises are too loud. Works wonders I sleep great. Took a bit to get used to the plugs in my ears, but I prevailed. Determination can solve a lot. |

| I'm an aspie female, and i gotta agree NT women are notoriously hard to become friends with. For me in particular they are just so catty, and don't talk about real things all that often. Now I do have 1 female NT friend that I would consider my best friend. But even then I didn't hang out with her l... |

| I have bad itchy scalp, I have found that organic tea tree shampoo and conditioner used in rotation with organic peppermint shampoo and conditioner works wonders for me. I hardly itch anymore. When I do I know I need to wash my hair. I have long thick hair, FYI. |

| I've gotta say. For being a forum that is soppose to be about openess and not be judgemental it is sorely lacking that. All I mentioned was the forwarning of a hurricane, that people should head those warnings and go somewhere safe. Instead of staying where they know that bad things can happen and e... |

| You sound like me. I got so upset one day about something my husband said to me at our daughter's soccer game. I went home and googled, "Everyone says my tone of voice is..." AS came up in every search. I was shocked at first, it has been about 5 days now. After non-stop reading everything I can rea... |

Near Washington, DC. I work full time and that is where most of the people think I'm rude. I'm really just... |

I'm sleeping while you are awake, you sleeping while I'm awake. :D Anyway I would love to talk about Ch... |

| When it comes to mother nature causing problems here is my thought. Those people lived in a flood zone, if they didn't there wouldn't have been a levy built around them. They had a week advanced knowledge that a major storm which is producing lots of rain is headed your way. I would think, that woul... |
