| 101-Possible alexthymia. That's surprising. While I'm a very practical and fact-based person, I do have emotions. Alexithymia doesn't mean you don't have emotions, it only means that you have a hard time (or are incapable of) identifying or describing what those emotions are. I realised I had it wh... |

| I have had periods of intense fixation with pop music idols, when I'm not even into commercial pop music at all. The strongest time this happened was with Taylor Swift and I don't even listen to her music. Every now and then it will happen with yet another pop idol, but since I'm interested in other... |

| Stop claiming to be some form of higher pure being. When did I claim such a thing? Talk about projecting... Not everyone does that, at least adults don't do that; last people I knew who do this were teen colleagues back in high school. Also never claimed that everyone does this. Would you like it i... |

| I'm a little bit of both. I feel sexual attraction to strangers. But I would only have sex with someone if I feel an emotional bond with her. If you can feel sexual attraction / arousal to strangers, you’re not demisexual (by definition). If you want to have an emotional bond with someone before ha... |

| Yes bullying can cause psychological issues like PTSD Since when? Childhood dramas and mild traumas does not equal PTSD. I think people seem to be misrepresenting or misunderstanding this term. I think when people use the term PTSD they often may mean complex PTSD, which can arise due to ongoing, c... |

| I somehow forgot to reply to this, sorry :( and thanks to everyone who gave me some input. I'd benefit from coding when it comes to data analysis. I sometimes have to deal with a lot of data (bio-signals such as MRI, EEG, and other neurophysiology datasets) and it'd be great to be able to write scri... |

| It takes a lot (and I mean, a lot ) for me to have a meltdown, and it only ever happens in crisis situations (i.e. really bad arguments with someone with whom I'm emotionally attached). I have shutdowns and have had for as long as I can remember, but since I was only diagnosed as an adult I never re... |

| Hi! I'm wondering if anyone else around here has big trouble learning how to write code, or if it's just me? I have a very visual brain (think mostly in pictures, have spatial sequence synesthesia) and need to see the structure of things for them to make sense, so I really struggle with the abstract... |

| Cheers on the diagnosis! How do you feel about it? Thank you! :) As to how I feel... I'm not sure, to be honest, but not a whole lot different than how I felt before; I think it has helped by providing me with validation that I'm wired differently and not just "rude", "boring", ... |

Oh I didn't know this existed! I'm leaving Denmark very soon - moving to Norway, perhaps they have something similar there? I'll have to check! |
