| This is probably a very silly post.. but anyways... Does anyone else eat in a weird way? And do people comment on how you eat? I tend to pick at and examine what im eating and have done it since I was young. Ex. I like to eat corn on the cob by eating one piece of corn at a time, when i have foods t... |

| Anyone else think that the stereotype of all Aspies loving computers is overblown. many I'm sure end up in IT because it often doesn't require top notch motor skills, for example, programming? Sure some maybe hyperfocused on it but I'm sure others would love to be an athlete, military etc. a disprop... |

Sadly just people in general. every day, i obsessive compulsively leave the house for 10 or more hours. yes, i dislike neurotypicals. (fine). but, in their defense, i do not know many autistics. so maybe ... |

| Does anyone here get accused of being shy, when in fact it's just a case of not having anything to say a lot of times, particularly in groups? I think perhaps, social anxiety and shyness can develop as a result of being left out etc. but being quiet is not the same as lack of confidence. Take any le... |

| I'm not technically in the overweight range, but I definitely have some extra fat on my body, I don't fit the skinny body type that almost all guys seem to find most attractive. I'm 5'3/5'4, 125-130 lbs and have a 32'' waist, which I get the impression is pretty bad. So when guys say they prefer thi... |

| I've been noticing recently that I have a strange way of reacting to compliments. Usually when I get one, it's from someone I don't know (like the people I help over the phone). They'll say something like, "You're the best!" and I'll find myself rolling my eyes. I've always felt like compl... |

I weighed 30 lbs until I was eight years old, mostly because the only thing I wanted to eat was corn, broccoli and sliced bread. Then I was okay I guess through most of my teenage years and I learned to enjoy diff... |
