| Sorry to dig this thread out of the grave, but I actually found it while searching for information on comorbid AS and BPD. I'd been wondering for a while if I had BPD, but never really seriously considered it because most of the really crazy stuff I did was when I was a teenager, and by definition t... |

| Very cute! I'd love to have a snake, but I wouldn't be able to handle feeding it. I've always wanted a reptile pet, but I think with the two cats and three rabbits, I've got enough animals to take care of as it is. |

| I wish they'd make lead blankets. My insomnia would be GONE! It's hard enough as it is only having one comforter on the bed. My boyfriend would get WAY too hot with two more, but I really have a hard time sleeping if I don't have enough pressure on me. I could really use something that would fix my ... |

| My household has four people with four different last names. For Xmas I got a present for all of us, and I'm trying to find a way to label the gift. I want it to be "To the XXX household," but I don't really have something cohesive to put in the XXX part. I want to find a hilarious combo of all our ... |

| I'm a hard worker by default and a perfectionist to boot. Even non-paid activities I do, I do my best at them just because I CAN'T do anything half-assed and live with myself. |

Apparently my database is finally up, but everybody is busy getting ready for their holiday vacations so I probably won't start working until the New Year. Normally my aspie excuse for not worki... |

| I'd add Tourist guide Stand-up comedian King or Queen (if you can call that a job !) I did speech and debate in high school (just the speech part though!) and there was one tournament with some unusual events. One of them was a speech to entertain, and it was a 5 minute speech where all you had to ... |

She's a Muslim Lesbian, I'm a bisexual-poly-aspie covered in tattoos and piercings, and both of us are so smart, successful, and full of common-sense she doesn't know what to do ... |

| Besides making her barf up all her Xmas dinner and making her have an emergency C-section, I was a perfect baby. I slept all the time and never cried. My mom didn't hesitate to get pregnant again when I asked for a baby sister three years later, and then she gave birth to my hellion sister. My work ... |

| vegan and vegetarian are really different though, and "carnivore" and "omnivore" are used interchangeably in the vernacular when referring to human diets anyway. |

I have no way of knowing how people feel about me. There have been times where I doubted my closest friends liked me at all ... |

| Yes to all of those for me, pretty much. I've found myself to be easily taken advantage of, to the point to where I'm pretty disgusted with myself. I stayed in an abusive relationship (my first) for over two years because I didn't think I could get any better than that. I've learned a lot from the f... |

| If I ever tried to be normal (as if I'd know HOW!) I wouldn't be myself anymore. It's not worth being socially acceptable to lose my identity. I'd rather have no friends and be who I am than to have people flocking to be my friend when I'm faking everything. |
