| I've always had difficulty with balance. In first grade, our teacher would take us outside for small breaks, where we would do skip running. I could never get the coordination to do the skip, not the balance to execute it properly if I tried. I was also the only 8 year old that couldn't ride a bicyc... |

| Rejseholdet Prior to 1927, a Danish police executive named 'Mensen' pitched the idea of a Danish FBI. A team of specialist police officers who could assist local police forces in their work, should it be lacking in any way. His idea was shot down. However, as a significant number of arson related i... |

| No, it's not a gift. That's just something people like Grandin tell themselves as a form of consolation. In reality, the academic achievements of autistic people are usually done in spite of, not because of autism, unless they have highly unusual savant skills. Even more so, it's not even a consola... |

| This probably seems crazy to those who have already posted, but I feel that everything I have received is a gift...for me to use and learn and (hopefully) move forward. I agree it is somewhat false to perk up one's self or others by pretending it is a "gift" in the sense of some unqualifi... |

Swim in lake or pool?
Jumping in here.
Swimming in a pool. You never know what is in that lake, and CWS is scary. Usually pool temperatures are regulated/someone is there to look after you.
Pen or pencil? |

| When I was little, strawberries were my jam (haha). Today, however, I am absolutely obsessed with popcorn. 1. It has a nice plain taste. I don't fancy buttered popcorn, because it's all greasy. Nor caramelized popcorn, because it doesn't taste like actual popcorn, and the hard shell of the caramel i... |

| I don't see how it is a gift. 'Oh here you go a neurological condition that makes it hard for you to interact with the general people.' that is what it seems like to me and that is not a gift. I would like to communicate better and not fear every confrontation....I need to get better with that beca... |

| I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, and I do not disagree with it. I recognize myself in a lot of the symptoms. I've been researching it a lot, and reading articles and statements of other people with autism as well, eg. Temple Grandin. Many of them speak of autism as a gift. And if au... |

| I went to visit the pup that I'm adopting. It's been three weeks since I last saw it, so it's grown a bit. When I went to pet it however, it winced away from me, and wouldn't look at me. This made me sad, because I wasn't sure what I'd done wrong. Then I realized, that is how I make others feel, be... |

| I don't know if it's that unusual, but drug leaflets are a thing for me. If I get the chance, I will read the leaflets that follow when you buy over-the-counter and perscription drugs, those that tell you about side effects and daily dosage. I have a small collection of all the medicine I've taken s... |

On one hand, I don't like it when people straight up just barge into whatever I'm doing, like if I'm drawing and one of my classmates starts looking me over my shoulder, or if I'm doing schoolwork and my dad asks about it. It's th... |

| In terms of gross motor skills, it was more a thing for me when I was younger. I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 7, and I couldn't do skip-running. The school I went to had a nurse, who specialized in balance and movement as well, so I went to therapy with her, and eventually learned it. But... |
