| In some ways . I wonder if all these, sometime contradictory diagnostic traits and issues, are not like a form of MPD, where we keep trying to switch from one of our selves to the other to adapt to our changing external and internal environments . Tell me more about this. I'm not sure if I fully un... |

I do hate hot weather because I sweat so much and hate feeling sticky but I wasn't like that as a kid so I don't think it's related to my Aspergers . I also have more rigid muslce tone a... |
