| I'm not sure I'd use the term 'suffer'. I like it, even though its a bit of a mind-bender sometimes! And I see why they say its addictive, but its a coping mechanism for me, it's fun, and it doesn't hurt anyone, does it? I can't do the story part as well as I used to, I kind of want more practise! :... |

| No, not really. I come up with more voices when I'm writing than reading. I speed read a little bit, too, not reading every word, just skimming through. That probably has something to do with it, I probably would have a voice if I actually concentrated on all the words! |

| I don't feel like other girls- particularly my friends. It's strange because they all see me as childish and 'innocent', they say it so much and it really annoys me. I guess that I'm thought of as childish and innocent around guys- which is weird since I'm the only one in my friend group with a boyf... |

| I used to hum all the time in class, when it was quiet, everyone would just look over and hear me humming or singing really quietly. |

| I used to talk about my obsessions a lot, but people laughed at me, so I stopped. I have some friends with the same interests as me. But whenever one of my obsessesions comes up in conversation I end up holding myself back, so that I don't weird people out too much. The Weird thing is how sometimes ... |

| It's not something that all ASD people do, it's actually a separate thing called Maldaptive Daydreaming. I do it too, but it's mainly a focus around particular characters that changes. For a few months I might have an obsession with one, then that fades, and I'lll be only thinking about another. I'm... |

| I think it is, maybe not common but more likely than an allistic person having it. I'm an Aspie and I have it, and I know a few more people like me, but also I know of a dreamer who isn't an Aspie. |

I watched it last weekend. Absolutely amazing. 
I could relate to him as well, but not as much. It was like he couldn't tell the difference between the daydreams and reality, so it had me thinking a lot afterwards. |

| I never really miss people, but I think that might be because I've been away from my family for ages once before, and being away for a few days isn't so bad now. I used to miss them heaps. |

This has nothing to do with the thread, but I actually thought your profile pic was a bug on my screen, and tried to brush it off.
