| Yes. I used to get made fun of in school for it. If you look at the bottoms of my shoes, on the left foot the tread will be completely worn off, and on the other the tread is like new. |

| I'd be proud to know that a fellow Aspie was capable of doing so much, writing such music that was heard and loved around the world, and having a beautiful vision for all of humanity. |

| Another fan of barefoot running here. Well, I've been wearing Vibram KSO, as well as the Treksport on my trail runs. It does take some getting used to to strengthen the smaller muscles in your legs, feet, and ankles, but so far, so good. Transitioning to running barefoot has been like falling in lov... |

| Just wondering. If so, what are they like for you? I don't know that I do have happy memories, so I'm curious about your opinions as an Aspie. Most of my memories of would-be happy occasions (parties, birthdays, vacations, school, weddings...) are marred by the fact that they are for the most part s... |

| Truthfully, the first time I realized that others might actually have thoughts about me was a bit of a mind blower. Same here. I wasn't aware for a long time that people might be observing me and perceiving me to be any which way. Nor am I really able to form those perceptions of others. For me, ha... |

| I was selectivly mute when I was 8 which disgusted the aspergers. I later figured out it was because the social demands exceeded my social capacity so I went mute. By 12, I developed social anxiety, by 14 I developed OCD, and by 17, I developed depression when I overcame my mutism. By 22, I mostly ... |

| Thanks for the responses and the welcome. I understand those who think Astrology is more or less phony and useless. I am a skeptic and initially dismissed it myself. However for me personally, learning the traits and characteristics of the different signs has really helped me to understand people be... |

Interesting! Thank you for writing. In my initial post I was referring to the personality traits of the sun sign.
My moon sign is Sagittarius. My rising sign is Leo. Sun is Virgo.
I am not sure about the house. |

Hello to all. I'm new here but excited to share in discussions and ideas.
I'm curious, what is your zodiac sign? I been studying Astrology and am wondering if any signs in particular are more well represented on the Autism Spectrum. Please do share!
