| Hi, Has anyone here ever converted to Judaism, or even another religion? I was raised Methodist (Christian), but have a strong interest in Judaism and feel that its belief system lines up much better with my own than Christianity did. I am very interested in the conversion process and might start it... |

| As someone diagnosed with HFA, college has been pretty hard, but it's gotten much better, especially this year. I joined the band, like I did in high school, and made friends through there. The only friends I have are in band, or my group of awesome artsy friends that I met because my friend told me... |

| I used to like parties, but don't particularly anymore. They're too loud and have too many people. I think my sensory issues have somehow actually gotten worse in the past few years (???) but anyways, I don't particularly enjoy them, especially the ones in college. A small get-together with family o... |

| There were a couple incidents in fifth grade during lunch time in which I had to pee Really badly, but didn't really know how to ask any of the lunch duty staff if I could get up and use the restroom (I don't think I even considered it), so I just ended up peeing my pants. I felt awful about it, bu... |

| I'd definitely get a no-kill trap. Mice are too cute to kill. I'm the type of person that catches spiders in the house and lets them go outside. I have an issue with killing things, except stuff like mosquitoes and centipedes. Those can go to h*ll. |

| I think it's perfectly fine to like parties! As naturalplastic said, it's good that you have some NT abilities and are able to function in situations with lots of sensory input. I used to like parties! I think it's great that you've found something else you enjoy, Jen. |

| For me, my backpack goes literally everywhere with me, even to possibly inappropriate places. I rarely don't bring it somewhere. I get really uncomfortable without it. I almost always have a jacket as well, even when it's warm outside. It's like my security blanket, I guess. |

| What are y'all's thoughts on circle lenses? If you don't know, they're those big, round colored contacts that make you look like a doll. They're really popular in East Asia, specifically Korea and Japan. Here are some pictures: http://www.mookychick.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/circle-lenses-1.j... |
