I am really sorry if it sounded like that I dident mean to be rude, I was just curious, because I have never done that myself.. but maybe it is because I am a girl and is better at hiding my emotions?

Did you mean a girl WHO is better at hiding her emotions? I would not think all girls and women are better at hiding emotions. Some people don't show much emotion and that can be difficult in it's own way as well. I am curious since it sounds like you do not show much emotion, do you feel it on the inside?

I started to type out a big long response, but it started to get depressing so I deleted it. Let's just suffice it to say that I am with my partner of 16.5 years and he is basically the glue that holds me together.

I do the same thing, and I'm around 30 years old. Not everyone is "mild". I've gotten a lot of s**t from the police for it too. It's like Tourettes, it can't be helped. Someone could be laughing hilariously at your social difficulties.

To the OP: My boyfriend keeps me on track and I pay him some money to help put notes up for me, like when to take baths or change clothes. Also, since I do not always remember to eat food or drink water, he informs of this. This is in addition to the majority of bills and stuff which I pay in the house.

Nope. I live alone and have no friends, the nearest family is 1,000 miles away.

If I don't do it myself, it doesn't get done at all.

I will say that while my family helps me a lot, they have also tried to help me be independent as I can be. I think it must be hard for them to keep from indulging me but not neglect me in any way.

now and then i get help from my sibs or from my wrong planet sweetie

I still live at home with my mother because I'm not ready to function by myself: I don't know how to pay bills, can barely cook unless it involves a microwave and sometimes a stove top, and have such horrible directional skills that even with a GPS, without someone to call to rescue me or at least provide more logical directions, I would get completely lost and never find my way home. I suspect that when I do move out, I may need an assistant to keep me on track. DA, I have sensory reactions similar to the ones you describe; I never cry, but I do scream when startled, even only slightly, and have had borderline shutdown/meltdown reactions to certain sounds like metal clanging loudly, hydraulic breaks and large diesel engines in my immediate vicinity (ie buses), and to other sensory stimuli such as too many people around me in a crowded space. It makes me want to crawl out of my skin.
