| ^ ^ I was thinking that there was more to ADD than hyper/hypo focussing. ^ You're about as intelligent as I am. One of the quirks of ADHD is that often the less focused you are, the more focused you are. Trying to focus just makes the focusing worse, which can lead to odd things happening like bein... |

| I’m not angry at anyone. I just want to change myself into someone else. I’m only angry at myself for having autism. If you cannot process your issues around getting angry for being autistic -- you will likely go into a spiral that will make your goals harder to attain. To be honest; you've yet to ... |

| Tomorrow I'm turning 29. Why did the changes that I anticipated to come at age 28 went so late??? Like, last months/weeks/days late. Should I watch out for last hour/minute change as well??? I got, like, 1 hr and half before the calendar's day turns here. Sure, I had around Christmas and New Years b... |

If your genes cannot make it despite all the work (having healthier lifestyle, upgrading your fashion sense), you either need charm and confid... |

| LOL. When I was so addicted to fiction and fantasies... I couldn't pay attention much to the details. Just consume for the sake of consuming. And I can just do it for days without stopping, sometimes I just cannot. Even if I was so damn bored to tears about it -- I cannot look away and 'miss it out'... |

| I want to go under electroshock therapy like john elder robison did. To get the normal parts of the brain switched on. However I don’t have the funds for it. I didn't know John Elder Robison had ECT. I wonder why he had it. I've had it too, about six months after I joined WP. I had eight sessions i... |

| I kept being reminded that I was right and I got what I want. :lol: Sure, I still get annoyed, irritated, discomfortable, confused, scared, worried, anxious, hurt... But it's just... Easier. A way easier 'existence'. It's easier for me to feel now that I don't have to fight it anymore. And I like it. |

| The trait of struggling with body language is called dyssemia. The trait of struggling with verbal social cues -- I wonder if there's a specific term for that... SCD cannot be diagnosed in conjunction with autism spectrum disorder after all. Not all autistics have dyssemia. It's a common misconcepti... |

| It's not wrong to desire a cure and be allistic. It's not wrong to achieve the things your peers did. However... One shouldn't assume that a cure will guarantee to grant you the life you imagined it to be. Caring too much on this statement will put themselves in a pitfall of despair and self blame, ... |

To me, if it happens, it happens. If it didn't, it didn't and no regrets if ever. Planning on living alone? As an eld... |

Somehow, today, I forgot that I barely had any sleep last night. Like barely 2 hrs at most.
It currently doesn't fit with my usual symptoms of sleep deprivation. |
