| What makes you think that they'll be distracted ? They're aware and sensitive of everything around them and due to their disorder so they're obsessed with accomplishing their objectives until they reach their goal, so there's no chance of anything else catching their attention. Oh my days you have ... |

| Thank you all. I think I was really needing to feel validated in how I was feeling and checking that I hadn't 'got it wrong' on the response front. I spoke to her again last night and it was like night and day. Completely different person. Nice, positive, loving. Laughing even. And I think this is w... |

| Quite often, when I'm alone, I find myself replaying conversations, good and bad, in my head. While doing this, I come up with other things that I could have said to make the conversation better, portraying the individual(s) that I was talking to as well as myself. Am I going crazy, or is this norm... |

| I have two songs at the moment that represent what's going on. In the End - linkin park. I tried so hard, but got so far. But in the end it doesn't really matter. I had to fall to loose it all. But in the end it doesn't really matter. Then on the flip side I have Titanium - David Guetta. I'm bulletp... |

| Hi. Hooookay! Long story short. (As short as I can, which isn't short. Therefore that statement is woefully inaccurate :wink: ) I lost my Father last year in October after a very long battle with Lung Cancer, which then ate his brain as well. It was a fairly traumatic experience as you can possibly ... |

| I used to do the same thing. I seemed to absorb people's accents when was around them for a day or so. If I was at a convention where there are a lot of american's for example. I would have to 'overdo' my British accent in order to not sound like I am taking the piss. It was the same with any strong... |

| Vampi, welcome. My best friend is a Scot (though it looks like he's going to have to move to London for work). I'm guessing in Scotland you'll have a bit more breathing room. South England is nice, but CROWDED! Yeah. Its a lot better up here. I am more accepted than in the south. I think people up ... |

| You are 10% Neurotypical You aren't neurotypical at all. Sure, it may mean others think of your social skills as "very poor", but that's doesn't mean you aren't good at anything, you probably have a skill other than socializing, which is probably not something you enjoy anyway. It is very likely tha... |
