| Is there anyone else with Aspergers or high functioning autism here that could talk fine after the age of seven or younger/older and then just suddenly stopped talking altogether not because you couldn't speak but because you didn't find the need to speak even when people couldn't understand why you... |

| Is it common with someone on the spectrum who has autism to eat the same foods to the point where they develop a intolerance to the food? I'm getting that problem because i live alone and i'm starting to realize the same meal for months is not a great idea. But i guess it's a stupid question that i ... |

| To be fair people with ASD do this too and it's rife on this forum. If someone states something that isn't right, or an opinion based on wrong information and you correct their knowledge then people assume you are "against" them and they assume your own beliefs are the opposite of theirs.... |

| People don't seem to understand me and I've recognized one of the reasons people don't seem to understand me is because when i speak i'm very factual when someone is being rude/mean i'm very fact based also and it turns into them perceiving it as a attack or me pushing them. When in reality i don't ... |

I used to read a lot too! :D I am interested in certain medical disorders, Stampy Cat (a Minecraft YouTuber), and the show America's Got Talent.

Although I still managed to do very well in understanding vocabulary words and pronouncing them. Looking at some old paper work it stated at the ... |
