| Hi everyone, I have had a dx of schizo affective given to me, but I disagreed, went off of my meds (safely) and have been med free for about seven months now. I lean more towards thinking I'm AS and a tad Touristic, but couldn't get a second opinion due to lack of services and no insurance. What I a... |

| I'm good with my Christopher Walken impressions, and like to pull random phrases from his skits and movies, but I usually end up creeping out those who are unfamiliar with Walken. Most of my humor comes off as creepy. Never gets old seeing people walk into sliding doors....it's not entirely injuriou... |

| yup, quite a bit. People at work tell me they get "bad vibes" off of me. They tell me my laugh is creepy, that my eyes creep them out, all sorts of fun stuff. I even have had "friends" tell me at social gatherings that what I say is creepy. I don't know why that is. I don't seem to be unpleasant, bu... |

| I don't seem to fit what is normally said about Aspies and humor. For instance, I laugh at everything, everything is a joke. I guess I'm insensitive like that. I could be in church, and end up giggling through the service because someone may have made a funny sound or something struck me as absurd. ... |

| At the age of 10 I more or less shut down, and during the following years also lost all social skills I used to have. I couldn't just communicate as I used to, as it wasn't natural to me. Like a kid who was taught math, but forgot it. Oddly enough I've felt that same thing (but more recently). I've... |

I've found that with making friends, that it cannot be forced, I went through high school with the idea that people were fr... |

| Ive really been wondering what "normal" sexual frequency is for the "average" NT. Does anyone have any data? Good question. I found a table of stats here, might be useful. http://www.iub.edu/~kinsey/resources/FAQ.html#frequency This is for sex with a partner, it doesn't really talk about sexual act... |

I've got a giant green parrot hanging from my ceiling, Christmas lights up around the top of the walls, and various stuffed animals posed around the room.
If you can't be yourself, what's the point? |

| I feel an odd dichotomy....Sometimes I feel older than normal, almost ancient, like I've been here before and can say "ok, feels the same as it did last time I was here" :P. At other times I feel like I'm still 16 to 17 years old (I'm 26 now). Then there's the part of me that is still constantly ama... |

| I've laughed during sex, or attempts of intercourse, which is probably the epitome of "inappropriate emotional responses" :D Not really. I've done it myself and I've heard it's really common. Laughter takes the worry out of what can actually be kind of stressful. Kinda upset my girlfriend (now my e... |

| I've found that even though I'm physically attracted to someone and in bed, I'm just not into sex. Also I think my fetishes get in the way of any sort of "normal" relationship. I've been looking for a connection for a while...not into kissing, or intercourse, but like hugging, cuddling, and nuzzling... |

I've come out of the two I've have feeling absolutely raw, like I had no skin left emotionally. I don't know ... |
