| Well, might as well... My gift is my musical talent (with the flute and the recorder) It makes me feel relaxed, but when I play in front of people, it's like I'm putting myself out for scrutiny, or letting down my mental guard, or something... I know it's my special talent that few can match I am ta... |

For instance, I was completely obsessed with Pokemon Pearl for months, playing at every single opportunity, and now I only play it for about 2 hours a day, preferring instead t... |

| I've know I was different from a very early age- about 3 ish. When kids at pre-school (which, incidentally, I loved) started calling me weird. When they called me names, I couldn't cope and had a shutdown. I played with dolls and toy animals, but I just collected them and lined them up and put them ... |

| I've been practically in love with Pokemon since I was 6. (that was 10 years ago lol). Pearl- Luxray, Emploeon, Rapidash, Staravia, Pikachu and Palkia. (Level 100 all of them). (I did have a shiny Roserade, but it's attack was so pathetic that I put it in storage). Pearl is my favourite out of all t... |

| I'm not too sure about that one, but I'd say it was stimming. (Only because I do it, too!) I have bitten my nails constantly since I can remember. I need to always have something in my mouth, whether it be a bit of nail, a pen or a Nintendo DS stylus. I bite my nails until they bleed and have not be... |

On the bus home from school (I hate it anyway) I had to sit next a year 6, instead of my usual spot next to my friend, due to limited spaces on the bus. Well, I was ta... |

| I'm shy in my own way. I won't hide behind my mum when meeting any new person (lol!). I will just put on an act and attempt to mask the fact that I am feeling a little shy. Usually, if I can avoid it, I will not ever have the first word when talking to someone. I am usually in the presence of my clo... |

I got up to grade 8 standard on one of my instruments in less than two years, (I'm 14 now), and there seems so be nothing I can't do technically. However, I am frequently told tha... |

| I've found, from only personal experience with myself and other aspies I know, that people with AS DO have a sense of humour. Just a dry sense of humour. I use a lot of pessimistic sarcasm, even though I can't identify when someone else is using it. Aspies do find things funny, just different things... |

No, I love Pokemon now :) I would say Asperger... |

I managed to stay out of the lower sets and in the higher ones through intense copying. I copied most wor... |
