For me its stimming. Not does it only get in the way of having me do more productive things, but its also feel bit childish.

Sensory issues. If I could get rid of those, my life would be so much better. That's really the only part of my AS that consistently gets in the way of me living my life "normally."

Executive dysfunction is the worst thing for me. I can work around everything else.

The obsessiveness. Prevents me from being consistently at peace mentally.

The rest of it is a blessing in disguise. Because of Aspergers I will never have to work or deal with idiots in the real world.

The curbies who are brainwashed by Autism Speaks who want to cure us or kill us.

Social cues/skills. Basically saying the wrong thing.

"Meltdowns" Negative comments or things said towards me send me crying and in tears.

Lastly "Faking" NT.

(Such as today I took the negative comments at a cook out tonight but when I got home fealt like PHEW! glad that's over.) Trying to FORCE myself to let comments NOT bother me was a challenge. :-)
