| I'm not sure if there's any connection but I'd like to research if there is at least some correlation between the two. My twin sister (who also has AS) and me were born 3 months early and weighed 3 lbs 2 oz and 1 lb 12 oz, respectively. Has anyone seen any research on premature twins or just twins w... |

| Just thought of one more thing... When I was in middle school, I would scream at my parents and then not remember what I said once I calmed down. Does or did this happen to anyone else? My parents never understood why I couldn't remember what I said and it really freaked me out at the time. Thought ... |

| Wow, excellent post! Describes a lot of what I go through! Thanks for posting this! I think of it as if I'm pulling energy or tolerance from a well or pool. Here's how I described it in another thread: "I don't know if anyone else is like this (and please tell me if you are or aren't), but it feels ... |

| I don't like the movies nearly as much as the books (since they changed quite a few things and I always notice the changes and get irritated by them each time I watch) but I love Harry Potter in general. Used to work at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL and sinc... |

| Interesting question... I can feel both younger and older than my age, which is 22. The majority of the time, I feel like I'm stuck at the age of 11 and in the throes of middle school. When I'm around people acting stupid or immaturely, I feel really, really old. (Which I think can be said for some ... |

| For some reason, I can't really think of any recent ones at the moment (though I'm sure there are more than just a few) but I do have an amusing one to share from when I was in high school. My mom loves to tell this story to people she works with... And to think I didn't find out I had Asperger's un... |

| Well, it seems like I have 3 different "levels" of obsessions: The bottom level is the one where my obsessions have lasted for years upon years (I guess these would be characterized more as special interests?), the middle level are ones that will last for maybe 3 months to a year, and then the top l... |

| It usually takes me a day or two to recuperate. Maybe 3-4 if I've had to spend a few days in a row really socializing a lot, since it's a lot more draining. I don't know if anyone else is like this (and please tell me if you are or aren't), but it feels like I have a limited amount of energy to expe... |
