| Time rant. Why does it take an evaluated 20mins of dishes, 2-3hrs to do? Why does "thinking" take up my time? Why do I constantly fret about time? If time is so important to me, why can I never do anything on time? Why have my time problems become increasingly worse the older I become? Ahh... |

| You're just full of bright ideas you are... must have been at this a while. The Oxytocin subject is incredibly interesting and without trying to attach to it, worth a large amount of investigation for me. Another side just to complicate things, is I flip flop to and from reality beliefs, usually tri... |

| Forcing eye contact, especially in children, can cause other problems with social interaction. My parents are/were quite firm and strict with me if I wasn't making eye contact, and it has contributed to me being anxious in social situations, especially if they are also present. They managed to asso... |

| I have literally done nothing all day, read this website, not really eaten, obsessed about ASD, and worried about a birthday party to attend this weekend. It stresses me to think about my social obligations, and usually avoid them if I can by staying home. I'm alone with my thoughts of everything al... |

| Possibly if I am learning something new it helps, just to know the facts about something maybe? The definitive statement with closure seems to certify for me the fact I have not wasted my time, like with "stories". I LOVE learning new things! But on the other hand, I love watching sci-fi m... |

| I hate being in photos, although now I tend to humour them very begrudgingly so as to not cause the usual scene where everyone is trying to publicly convince you to be in the photo and is embarrassing. I'm not sure if this is tied up with a bad memory photo of me crying in front of a set of swings t... |

| I have been there so many times, and I seem to wear it no matter what I say such as "the next time I will not be like this". I inevitably end up being the one breaking down and crying and leaving my job, or in my last experience I finally lost my s**t and haven't had a job since. Every bon... |

| As a child my mother tried desperately for me to read books, and to this day I still will refuse to read books, regardless of the desperate nature of information of said book. My mother found a solution, I would let her read to me for hours, still enjoy it if anyone would dare (I never ask for the e... |

| When I was young I went to speech therapy for a lisp but I never considered that to be something related to autism, just a badly learned lip formation. I have never really given that a thought, is that a thing? I do however remember very vividly as a kid I would repeat, literally every single thing ... |
