| I like having adhd and and autism, it works out well. I seemed to have gotten the best of both worlds. I can see global and detail. I have energy and tenacity in spades.

| Thank you for being so kind about it all. Ducks are great. Lot more personality then chickens. I miss my ducks from our old place. Now we have alligators in our pond not ducks. |

| I was wondering if it there could be a threshold that activates something more. They say HSPs can sometimes rise up in the worst situations and be strongest. But in less horrible but hardly ideal situation that threshold is not reached and so the person flounders not finding their true potential. It... |

| I understand everyone communicates differently. I also understand like attracts like. If she wanted to connect with me her shot missed the mark. So I ask why? Isn't this what Aspies do? They ask questions because we especially know language is vague and limited and we want to understand as clearly a... |

It's about a guy who has a stroke and it seems like he lives in an almost constant manic state with small depressive blips between and he has no control over the depressive part but he has an outlet for the manic part, his art. So he lives constantl... |

| It took me a long time to realize this but if I am a group of more than three people I no longer can feel or even try to feel my own emotions. Managing all the inputs from the other people puts me into complete recieving mode and while I can converse, it is usually just about clarifying what the oth... |

| Hello Everyone, I am seeking other Aspies to discuss life, the world, and everything intense with. I had a best friend in high school and we were both undiagnosed Aspies. This was 20+ years ago and the knowledge around it was pretty much all about guys and not girls. I have not had as close a female... |
