I was never allowed to "be" a teenager.

Tons. The most stupid was probably to dare someone to swim across the strait between Kowloon and wanchai with me. :|

Nothing illegal. Nothing stupid as far as risk taking. And unlike Kip I never did anything with a turkey.

No. I was possibly the most straight-laced teenager who ever lived. Never experimented with any substance, only skipped school once (on senior skip day, with my parents' permission), had the same boyfriend for years but didn't sleep with him, got straight A's, etc. etc. I believed that following all the rules would lead to happiness and success. It worked for a little while, until all those "other" unspoken rules that I could never grasp caught up to me.

Prolly the most stupid thing I did (and illegal, actually) was when I stole candy from the corner store, cuz everybody else was doin' it. It was doubly stupid, really, cuz I'm not even that crazy about candy----only chocolate, really.

Stupid, sure---they kind of stupidity you get from being really isolated and learning nothing of the outside world, while your peers mature. Of course, my parents never acknowledged that maturity, so it could hardly matter that I missed out on it.

Illegal, probably not.

In my book, having a boyfriend already counted as not being "straight-laced" by any means. That was stuff for grown-ups, and you were supposed to be patient about earning such privileges. I actually feared getting too close to peers known to have partners, in case my parents regarded them as setting a bad example for me and restricted even further my chances to break out of my isolation. In fact, I had no clue that sex was supposed to be any more forbidden than romantic relationships---both were equally unthinkable and that's all there was to say about them.

Where I grew up, people married young. Having a long-term boyfriend in high school was a thing you were supposed to do, another box to check on the list of Successful Young Person attributes. And my parents approved of him, because he was in college. He was actually a pedophile, but that's another story.

I remember saying stuff to other people in front of my parents that were really inappropriate or humiliating for them, but I didn't even know until my mom lectured me for a good while afterwards and said kids might say things like that but at my age I should know.

My lack of understanding social norms and being quite naive even as a teen was very likely due to my being aspie, which of course no one knew about at the time. I still feel bad for all the cringe-inducing things I said or did around my parents, though. :(

I accidentally did something illegal before. I prefer not to discuss it because I already have enough guilt over it even though it was 5 months ago

When I was aged 13-17 I got really obsessed with this couple that lived near my cousin. The infatuation took over my mind and my life. I made a pest out of myself by following them around and I even prank-called them once. I wasn't intending on any harm, I was just utterly obsessed and wanted to find out everything I could about them. But to them I looked creepy, and they went to the police. A policeman came one time to my house while I was at school, but when my mum told him I had Asperger's and had plenty of proof that I was doing no harm, plus the fact that I was under 18, he didn't take it any further. The proof we had of me being harmless was the pictures and stories that I had done which didn't indicate anger or violence or murder, instead they were about love and friendship. The policeman agreed that I was doing no harm and that it's something I would grow out of, which I did. Although I was obsessed with them for 4 years, I only did the "bad" stuff when I was 14, then ever since the policeman came I had learnt my lesson and my parents chastised me about it, so I was still obsessed with them but safely kept my distance.

Thank God that didn't esculate into anything more, because it could have done.
