I have only very recently started to worry that he actually "has it in" for me. For a long time (from about the time I started working here) he just wasn't all that friendly to me and I could just tell he thought I was dumb sometimes when he talked to me. I never thought much of this - he's not the ...

Even though you may have average to above average intelligence, and you have certain special skills, do you have managers (or just people in general) who seem to think you are dumb or incompetent and treat you like you're "slow"? Just because you're shy and/or socially awkward? I've been working in ...

I'm a cashier in a restaurant and I'm able to handle it. Mostly because I pretty much just have to follow a script when taking customers' orders. I just greet them and ask all necessary questions, but no small talk involved! We get really busy during the lunch hour but I just get in the routine of p...

Does anyone else hates these? Well, I suppose no woman actually likes them. But does anyone else actually have problems with them and find them excruciatingly painful? Everybody always says "oh, it will be a little uncomfortable, but it won't hurt". All I can say is, liars!! I'm 22 years old, and I'...

I'm 22 and most people think I'm still a teenager. I can easily pass as a high school student, maybe even middle school. :/ There actually was one time recently where I got charged a kids' price at a buffet (which would mean they thought I was no older than 12!) but I keep telling myself that maybe ...

Ive never liked phone calls and always needed a script, including my name address and telephone number, just in case they asked and I forgot! After a few traumatic calls to/from evil companies a couple of years ago, I cant make or take any phone calls unless its my immediate family. I can text beca...

I got my license when I was 17, but my mom always said I was like a "little old lady" because I would basically only drive up to the store that was two minutes away to get groceries, and of course drive to school. Other than that, I preferred not to drive. I would say I only REALLY started to get ex...

And especially when they are so infrequent and I don't really even see them coming? I have been dealing with anxiety for a few years now and didn't get a true panic attack until last year. And since that one, I've only really had one "full-blown" attack and two "mini" ones. I don't want to take drug...

Hi everyone. I know many of us have trouble with certain stronger foods due to sensory issues... mine manifests most strongly as a strong revulsion to Cheese. I also struggle a bit with really strong cream dressings (for example, if I have a Caesar salad with really strong dressing). Even if I enjo...

So, I've just started dating this guy and he is the first boyfriend I have ever had. I think I do like him because I really enjoy spending time with him, we have a lot in common, I like cuddling with him, and I think about him all the time. But I have to admit, I have kissed him a couple times now a...

I think one of my first "obsessive interests" was dinosaurs. When I was about 4 years old, I had all these plastic toy dinosaurs and I memorized all the different kinds of them. I really don't remember any of them now, except the one with the long neck is called an apatosaurus. :) And I guess liking...

Hi there. :) I'm sort of the same - I discovered this site too and I feel like a lot of the traits people describe sound like me too, though I am not diagnosed with AS currently. Welcome :)
