Hello, when I was in high school (graduated in 2008) my autistic symptoms weren't nearly as bad as they are today. I guess staying at home and not going to college and not seeing or making friends really effects a person. My problems have been with stim, I honestly don't like to admit it since sometimes I am a shamed of it. I never had problems with stiming as an adult but I did an "experiment" to see what would happen. At first I felt nothing and was pretty blank, but as time went on it just got addicting and the sensations grew. Plus now I am having problems of seeing things repeatedly for stim. I just don't know what to do now, trying to cut back but its much like smoking (I don't smoke just using it as reference)
Find it amazing the autistic brain can create its own addicting chemicals without the use of any outside subsistence.
Off Topic: Another thing that is annoying me is reading about autism articles and they use the word "Disease" out of context so much. A disease is something you catch, Adhd, autism, and down syndrome are not stuff you can catch. Just really annoying sometimes to read such a serious article and that comes along. End of Off Topic.
I had severe autism when I was little and I was trained to act like everyone else around me. I have classic autism and not aspergers if you where wondering. I have noticed I am starting to get frustrated more and more easily, I don't yell or anything like that but its just something inside. When I was little I use to be like that way a lot, I didn't get bullied because usually I attacked them despite my best efforts. Guess I didn't have fear or didn't feel any physical pain since I eat screws before and eat glass.
I think I have to seriously get out more so I don't go "backwords" What do you guys think and how is it for you?
