| I am going back to college in Jan. I started right out of high school, finished 1 year, attempted a second, and stopped. I'm 27 now and I guess its the birth of my daughter last year that has motivated me to return. I am pursuing a masters in Telecommunications Systems Management. |

| I am wondering what some of your experiences with empathy or the lack there of are. For me, it seems like its a very intermittent thing. Many times when emotions are implicated whether on TV or in conversation, I often experience a sort of numbness. Like I don't see what the big deal is. I'm often a... |

| Thank you all for your suggestions. It means a lot. I will have to get some of my music together to share here. My ear and talent are always a work in progress. I started REALLY listening to music in 4th grade and started playing guitar in 5th grade. I met a man who owned a local studio who was kind... |

| Welcome I understand what you mean about "the little things" that make you suddenly being grouped into a condition. for 27 years I was told I had OCD and Turrets Syndrome, but I always felt it didn't match up quite right, it didn't explain why being social was so hard and awkward, it didn't explain ... |

| Thank you for your words. It is great to know people out there are like me and can relate to the very core of my strange little self. I really find comfort in that fact. I truly thought I was the only person who felt this way inside. I'd not consider myself an expert musician either, I can play a lo... |

| My eyes welled up as I read this thread. So many of you out there feel exactly like I do and have lived exactly like I did. The "mask" we all speak of to me is more like a suit of lead.

| Hello all, I'm new to this whole world that seems to be mine as well. I'm 27 years old and all of my life I've "felt" different.
