| I find these increasingly aggravating. In the attempt to reduce stigma and stereotyped there's self diagnosed and self appointed experts discussing the ins and outs of their lives and if that resonates maybe you too have autism. I think that's so dangerous. Yeah I’m increasingly disturbed by the id... |

| I don't hide them per se, but I don't get into many interactions where I can share them apart from family so for the most part I drive my family mad by geeking out on them, luckily I have a loving and patient family who will entertain me a few minutes a week each to get out whatever facts are in my ... |

| I certainly feel overwhelmed a lot because of the way I work - I'm very careful and attend a great deal to detail, so everything I do takes me a remarkably long time. And I suppose I have a lot of interests, so it doesn't feel good when I realise that I'm likely to die of old age before I've comple... |

| I think smaller groups are easier because you may know them all, or there is only one conversation going on. More people means more variables to try and deal with, more conversations to try and follow. Due to auditory sensory issues, I have trouble filtering out background noise, so any more than o... |
