| Well, the schedule I would do would basically fill every portion of my day with some activity. I'd even be scheduling out time to relax. Also, I just realized that I wasn't scheduling time to eat, and I've actually tried to figure out ways to survive without sleep so I could work during that time. |

| I've realized that, with so many things that I need/want to do, I need to make a schedule in order to have time to do all of them and remember. Does anyone else have this issue, or is the fact that I need to actually get up and make one something that people don't really bother with? It seems like i... |

| It's not my parents, it's hers, that are saying that. Of course, she had been unable to find a job as well, but their style of raising her wreaked a good amount of havoc on her self-esteem and ability to find work. Undiagnosed AS while being raised by people who don't believe it exists is really har... |

| I've had to deal with some crap. Family members telling me that it's the mature thing to do to give up on your childhood dreams and just go get a job. The same family members telling me that I shouldn't marry my fiancee because I'm too disabled to ever hold down a job (I was having panic attacks at ... |

-6.
I don't want to die at the moment, but I'm still going to go take a barefoot walk on the pavement and take it out on my feet. |

| So, my fiancee and I both have AS. We're also on separate sides of the US. This has been imposed by her family who thinks that we need to be more mature before we're allowed to marry. Unfortunately, that means that they think we need to get rid of the symptoms of AS. They think that it's something t... |

| I have pretty good hearing, but I think most of it is due to the fact that I trained myself in order to be able to eavesdrop on others in the house better. It's not because I'm nosy. It's because I'm paranoid. |

| I also have Tourette's as well as AS, and have received some accusations myself. For a while there, I was popping my jaw as a tic. My grandmother refused to accept that it was a tic and even once physically grabbed my jaw, right on the TMJ nerve, to try to make me stop. I'm biting my lip as I type t... |

| I had a meltdown today too. Do you know how much noise some 7th graders can make in a cafeteria. My friends thought it was something else and asked me if it wasn't because of too much noise that I was crying. Oh yeah, I remember. Back then, I was more into shutting them out by delving into role pla... |
