As for the question bellow, about needing to recharge. I simply assumed everyone did that. I find cleaning my room and or reading helps me get the anxiety of being around people out of my system.


Maybe everyone does, but for me it's an odd, sudden urge. I'm social by preference but when I'm around people and perfectly happy I sometimes feel the need to walk off and sit by myself for a few minutes.

Don't mind people spouting their own ideologies, that's just a coping mechanism they use. Welcome!

Sometimes when I'm at parties, even if I feel I'm enjoying them I suddenly get tired. Very tired. I'll usually find a quiet place to sleep.

I fell asleep during every rock 'n roll concert I went to.

Is that the same?

When I don't go to sleep I may find one person and have a quiet one on one discussion with them in a room or a corner. Though that's pretty seldom because usually most people wont talk to me for that length of time.

The sleep thing sounds similar. The one-on-one thing doesn't. I don't know. Read lots of old topics here, see how much you recognise.

I already have, and I recognize a lot. It was an odd feeling seeing behaviours I'd been scolded for, or sequestered out of fear just being spoken about as if they were a minor inconvenience.

I never understood the concept of being overstimulated, I just know sometimes I felt like I was going to explode if I didn't do something. It is both enlightening and a little scary to see I am maybe not so unique.

Both a relief and a bit of a small death of my perceived self. Though ultimately good I think.

Well, excellent. You're very probably 'one of us' then. Personally I would say you have Aspergers because you used the word 'sequestered'.

This is the very behavior I am talking about.
