I've found that I seriously CANNOT fall asleep without reading at least a little bit. Anyone else have this problem? I think
it may be just because I've always done that since I was like 7 or 8, and now it's become repetitive, so I gotta follow it.
Aspie traits that can sometimes be annoying. :P

I've known people who couldn't sleep without reading and they didn't have Asperger's.

Yes. But for me, it can be drawing and writing, too. That's why my room is filled with really strange artwork on yellow lined paper...

I read everyday, started when I was little. When I was 8 I'd read every night till early morning or being ordered to sleep. From me its not just relaxing its an escape and a thirst for knowledge.
