| I am SO GLAD someone started this conversation! It had come down to the only time I'd clean is when I'd move to a different apartment. I feel like I'd be considered a "hoarder", but it really DOES get overwhelming! Within the next month and a half I have to have my house sparkling clean because I ha... |

| Is anyone else on here curious how NT's score how they score? When I take the online tests, for most of the questions, I don't see a choice...the answer is plainly the one I've chosen. However, my mother took the test once, and I have no idea how she was so different from mine (she is DEFINITELY an ... |

| I've grown accustomed to my abilities. As long as you can look at what you're doing, what you've done, and find out the "triggers", things can be adjusted. By no means am I normal. Thank goodness! However, I know that when my body is tired, with not enough sleep or with a cold or something like that... |

| I get this feeling a lot. Definitely more now that someone in my family has told everyone they know - as well as all my family members (even far-off distant cousins) that I have Aspergers (undiagnosed). Now, my father doesn't talk to me unless I'm in the same room as him...my brothers still treat me... |

| Yes. Simple answer. Yes, I have had people tell me I'm being disrespectful. The more people tell you that, the more you want to keep your comments to yourself....which adds to the "social awkwardness". Of course, if you keep your comments to yourself, some OTHER people will tell you you're being dis... |

I haven't been to a doctor to have it in writing, but I'm sure Asp is what I've got. So, since my Mom found out about this....sh... |

| Every thing about her last post, lying for the feminazis (notice I said feminazis, not femminist). Deliberately angelicizing women like theyr all perfect angels, she can't even admit that a female can be sexist. Then she supports Hillary clinton :roll: Goes on to say how I'm "telling people to thin... |

Yes, you are intitled to your opinion, however, foul-language & name-calling is not necessary. The rest of what y... |

Yeah, it's about a three hour drive from where I live. Yeah. I don't think so. They want me to pay $30 for the testing, but I'd spend more than that in the... |

5'10"
Female
Not telling weight - none of your business
FYI...there's nothing I can do about being tall...but if you're not "tall" and you're a woman, you can wear heels and get taller.
I don't wear heels. |
