| When this first occurred, I told my family, “Welcome to my world”. For me, autism is neurological and and not a personality disorder. We may seem to have same behaviors, but it’s caused by neurological disturbances. If I were NT, I would be an introvert. Now, add the autism, and I usually self isola... |

Never tell anyone and especially him that you sent such letter. Whether or not he’s having an affair... |

| I would wash Friday because you aren’t going shopping as you normally do, so that means you can take your time to hang out the clothes slowly. Maybe, hang out tops first, go inside and drink water, then go back out and do bottoms, go inside and go to the bathroom, go back outside and do intimate clo... |

| It’s hard. Don’t do anything you are passionate about because we get obsessive and fixated about things. How about a grocery stocker and work at midnight? Or Amazon as a packer? Library has a lot of Aspies so you blend in well. Part time in an after care program — kids don’t care but it’s loud , so ... |

If it gets too tough you can try some meds, as well. Oh and keep earplugs handy for sensory overload, tho... |

| I think this is working. Unlike meds, that relax the bodily symptoms so you feel better. This natural remedy works the mind. Its hard to explain. I feel thoughts are flowing easier so there isnt any anxiety. Anyway, it doesn't have side effects, so you can experiment with them if you so desire. |

If this is so, then we are compassionate beings. Something that neurotypicals strive to achieve. After unabl... |

Sometimes, I'll have a Diet and caffeine free Pepsi. The sodium will kill me, so I have like 2 ounces. I've noticed that cantaloupes relax me rig... |
