Example?

to deal?

i go into one of my imaginary worlds. I deal with a little bit of whatever is stressing me then i go back and do it over again untill i feel better. or i jump. for some reason jumping running and screaming helps.

Someone told me that our senses are tied into our stress level (people with AS I mean). They said the senses that are overly sensitive adds to our stress level, while stimulating the senses that aren't hypersensitive actually dissipates this energy (which is supposed to be an explanation for why we stim). I think maybe there is something to this, but it could just be a load of horses**t. But I know pacing and other things do seem to calm me when I'm upset.

but jump=calm for me and no one else i know.. even other aspergers

I hit people but not hard.

i lick and i bite alot

Along those lines, remember that people with AS can have different senses to which they are hypersensitive or desensitized to. Jumping up and down affects that sense of balance/falling from your inner ear (a separate sense that people often forget about). One of the guys in my AS group has a daughter who can't be made dizzy. In fact, he said she seems to enjoy spinning around, when other normal people or other people with AS might get sick. So it doesn't suprise me that jumping up and down calms you but not many other people.

I like frozen cherries.

I wanna kiss hale_bopp

i don't understand why people kiss.

It's fun. Frightning, exciting and fun.

human mouths are very dirty, though.

(shrugs) The FDA allows for something like .5% impurities (sp?) in food -- that includes all sorts of things like coachroach legs and other things you wouldn't want going into your mouth -- and that's among the best standards in the world. Some countries don't have any kind of standards. The point is, you probably put a lot worse things in your mouth every day and don't realize it. In that light, it hardly seems worth worrying about...

As long as the other person doesn't have bad breath.

Umm...The most life-changing thing I've ever read was the manga Paradise Kiss.

(Thinking of random truths about myself is harder than I thought! It's like when someone says "say something" and I never know what to say...)

I know about this. Coachroach legs ar not even the worst of whats in food. but you need food to live. kissing is somthing you can do without, besides food doesn't make me feel sick.

I don't mind whats in my food, you have control over it. you can grow your own or buy your own or whatever. you cannot control who the person you are kissing has kissed before. If they say you are the only one they cannot prove it. One more thing, the tounges, that must feel creepy.

People get hospitalized for food poisoning all the time. Nobody gets hospitalized over a kiss; worse case scenario (providing you have standards) the other person has something like the flu -- but then the symptoms are usually pretty obvious.

And the tounges... not so bad.
