When I hear a phrase that I find very insightful or true, that speaks to me, that embodies me, my first thought is to carve it into my skin. I feel as though that would be the only adequate expression of it. I'm in hospital at the minute, so I've taken to writing them on the walls as an alternative - they won't let me have anything sharp. I don't know whether this is truly me acting, or a function of external control, as it never happens with phrases that I write "myself". Or maybe it's an aspie trait? Can anyone relate?

Read, "The Penal Colony" by Franz Kafka (who most likely had Aspergers).

The urge to cut is usually associated with mood disorders. It's not an aspergers thing.
