| When I was in high school, 15 years ago, I sat at the front in every class so that I could clearly see and hear anything the teacher was doing. I chose a seat at the front on my own though, no one really had to do anything. |

| When I was younger I was very immature & acted inappropriately for my age. No one told me any different, PLUS.. my parents never knew how I acted around people at school nor on the internet. Also, as a side note, my parents were SUPER protective of me. I was not allowed to have friends or intera... |

| Have you tried walking around in a strong wind to get used to moving air? Jump, and see how far you go. How about trying some "training rides?" Tighten your seat belt, and see how much you can raise your comfortable speed if it is done gradually, and under your control. I used to love sti... |

| Yes. I read all the time about how people on the spectrum have a special gift of being really smart in math, science or something else...and I have nothing I am good at or smart at academically. |

| I feel like I have learned more about what behaviors I need to avoid, I have also matured. I feel like my mental age is younger than my real age. I act now like a regular teen would act, without the weird rebellion stuff. Maybe I act closer to 20 even though im in my mid 30's. |

If I wear my cpap I wake up at like 5 but if not it could be 7 or 8. I wake up MOST of the time around 7:00 on the dot.. which is the same time I woke up as a kid to... |

I have anxiety and panic about being enclosed in a small area going down the highway really fast. If someone opens a window I have a panic, if someone were to open a sunroof I would start... |

I don't think much of it because I know they are ignorant. What I don't like is when people take pictures of ha... |
