| Yes, I do think I'm stimming. Just because other people do it more severely or in more stereotypical ways (hey, I flap and rock too!), doesn't negate mine. It's like saying "You think you have a bruised leg! Well you don't, because this person's leg is covered in bruises!" EXACTLY. I actually find ... |

Thanks.  And yeah it's hell. People can be jerks and so rude to me because of it. The majority of people either tell me I'm 1: Psycho or 2: To just "get over it." My brother purposefully wont wash his hands just to be mean. ugh. |

| I'm taking it now...but I don't know how to answer some of the questions. "Do you drop things when your attention is on something else?" Is it asking me if I literally DROP things, like I'm reading a book and then I see something that distracts me and I drop the book, or is it asking if I'm doing wo... |

Hopefully the Asperger's Society can help you out, I've never thought of emailing them for advice. Maybe I should. I've had two failed visits to doctors. First one refused to diagnose me beca... |

| I constantly quote movies in every day speech. When I'm joking around with my fiance (he is the ONLY person that can jokingly insult me and I won't take it seriously) I quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail e.g. "It's veddy nice-uh!" "Go away or I shall taunt you a second time-uh!" I also enjoy quot... |

| Phobias, no matter what they are, that are so bad they affect you in everyday life? For me it's mysophobia (germs) and emetophobia (fear of getting sick). It when I was 15 when my grandpa who lives with me and my parents had a stroke and got sick. His immune system weakened, he was in and out of the... |

I was also the top of my grade and won awards and such, making me a very hated person. I always was the center of controversy even though I had no friends ... |

The only "real" friend I have is my fiance, who I have been close to for 5 years.
I've had friends throughout my life but never manage to keep them for more than a year. At the moment, besides my man, I have maybe 3 aquaintences and that is it. |
