| I've had them in the past, like several years ago is the last one I can remember. Medieval philosophy, Aquinas and the Scholastics and all that, IIRC. At the moment though, no real obsessions, but lots of passions. Dunno why but the whole "special interest" thing kinda just went away once I hit my m... |

| This is surely gonna draw angst, but... In the first 12 years of my life, the only person who I gave the slightest heed to was my father, and this only because from the time I was old enough to walk he would hit me with a belt if I acted up. Time-outs, having toys taken away, monthly therapy, detent... |

| Living on your own with no contacts is hard but not impossible; many people do it when they move to a new city/state/country where none of their family lives close-by and they don't know anyone. If you want to be technical, the only thing you really need to live on your own is a means to pay for it,... |

| I acted this way a lot when I was younger, feeling like I got pushed around a lot or my opinion was just blown off. Nowadays, however, I certainly can't say that I have trouble asserting myself. I'm pretty much always able to get my point across in a polite but firm way, no matter who I'm dealing wi... |

| I'd second that idea Kelspook. What concerns me the most is the possibility of those who were recently diagnosed coming here to survey the landscape, being bombarded by a &@!$ton of depressing posts, and being left thinking "so this is how my life will turn out..." Not trying to shame those who ... |

| I don't really get why you said that. Are you saying I am imagining that my sensory issues are difficult to bear? I have intense headaches from stimuli that most people I know think is very slight. Many people I know love going to loud concerts and being in places with lots of smokers smoking. I'm ... |

Things here just seem so negative to me...I don't get. I know everyone needs to vent once in a while, and I'm very okay with that because... |

| <--- Doesn't know what a keg stand is. you do a handstand over a beer keg with two people holding your legs up. another person takes the tap and sprays beer into your mouth and the whole point is to see how long you can keep chugging beer continuously in this position. No easy feat since i'm 265 lb... |

You've obviously worked very hard to make it this far, let alone the fact that someone with a disability has to work that much harder to keep up, and you've proven you... |
