Although unsure if I've AS, I always say the wrong things unintentionally, even when I think I'm on the "safe-side". I just remembered that I usually put the string of my hoodie in my mouth. I'm not sure if that is stimming.

Bahaha! I'm always talking to myself, I think that's what you mean.

Mind: So, what do you want to do today?
Me: I don't know but I'm hungry.
Mind: Really? How bout that restaurant we always go to?
Me: Perhaps, but are you sure you don't want pizza instead?
Mind: Hmm...a whole pizza...for us?


I'm not crazy, seriously. I don't think, therefor I am not. :lol:

Speaking for myself, I guess the only thing I can't control is getting pissed off when people interfere in my life - even in some small way - and I can't do anything about it. That's the basic reason why I'm a fighter (metaphorically speaking) because I seek to do something about it.

Sifr, your mind and you sound like you're very good, caring friends to each other. I wish I had such a nice relationship with mine. Mine goes something like:

Mind: He looked at you weird, did you notice?
Me: I know, I put my foot in my mouth again.
Mind: You seem hungry to me. Want to grab a portion of chocolate cake on the way home? It's the last day of the week and you worked so hard this week!
Me: Nah. It'll taste bitter in this mood and will be a waste of money. I'd better save every penny, because the way I put my foot in my mouth all the time, I'm looking at much more unemployment yet.

Ha, it's not always that way.


Me: Did you see that?
Mind: Yeah she was checking you out, nice.
Me: Yeah.
Mind. Well, uhmm...what are you waiting for?
Me: What do you mean? What about the girl I'm seeing?!?
Mind: Eh? You complain that you don't like her and now you'd feel guilty for talking to someone else?
Me: Ugh...damn you! Anyways, she's not here anymore.
Mind: You idiot.



I blame my mind for the dark humor and sarcasm I'm ever known for.

Anxiety
Over the top interests, either in kind or intensity, or interests out of place and time

Unintentionally ignoring other people.

Rage attacks.

Repeating myself over & over until I get the right reaction from the person I am talking to.

hmm... off the top of my head:
My tone of voice, I get louder without realizing & embarrass my family & friends in public.
My timing is most often off when trying to keep up conversation.
I often laugh at the wrong time or think something is funny that wasn't meant to be funny.
I have a flash temper with no warning, mostly happens when something breaks my concentration. It makes me feel horribly guilty.
