My neighbors had to call the police 2 times. Each time, they arrived with assault rifles because they thought somebody was being murdered. |

| Is it your way of dealing with sensory overload? My ways of dealing with sensory overload involves making movements and noises repetitively, maybe you are doing your activities for similar reasons? I don't think so. I do this because doing so makes me feel fulfilled. During sensory overload (if it ... |

Because I didn't feed myself with it. I would just sit in front of the dish and not eat it at all, or maybe eat 1-2 spoons. |

I usually do that while sliding on the floor, and accelerating with my hands. |

You oughta take sedatives. But dont touch booze. No, most children who are hyperactive express their hyperactivity in a more... |

| Does anybody else do that? On top of that, I also run around the house while making animal and car noises, moving my body parts and screaming "beep beep I'm a tractor" and "beep beep I'm a crane". I also lay on my bed, move my body parts around as fast as I can, while making high and low pitched sou... |

| I should add my own feedback as well. In 60% of the situations, I make very excessive eye contact during the first seconds, then, with every glance, I notice myself making less and less eye contact, to the point that I can't get myself to make it at all (after about 20 seconds of the conversations, ... |

| I can totally relate to that! When people start talking about their kids and their families and that sort of thing (I'm not married, don't have kids, etc.), it's like I become part of the furniture.

Then, while still surrounding me, they start having a conversation, at which point, I usually can't relate to what they're saying at all. It's like they're from another pl... |
