| I don't have such voices, I do have anxiety though. I take medication for the anxiety. You should talk to a psychiatrist if you are having these kinds of problems. |

| Now that I am in college, I don't get bullied. But when I was in elementary school I was bullied relentlessly and hated on some level by almost all of my classmates. One time, I hit the kid that bullied me most and I got detention, but my parents talked to the principal and made it go away because ... |

| Have some compassion. She is obviously very ill mentally right now, depression and bi polar are very serious things. What is needs is some compassion, not disgust. So I have to agree with your friends. |

| Not saying that you are but I think too many people on the spectrum and even those with ADHD use it as an excuse if why they do poorly on test, when the reality is they just didn't study hard enough. |

WOW,
I have ASD, but I lack the sensory overload, in fact if anything hyposensitive to sound, sight, and smell. I don't notice small sounds, faint smells, and small visual details. I feel bad for you people. |

| I'm wondering whether it's possible to have Asperger's syndrome without having sensory overloads / meltdowns / shutdowns. I'm asking this because I think I might have Asperger's, but I'm doubtful about the (common?) problems mentioned in the topic title. Among the symptoms I see in myself, is stimm... |

For my special interest I usually engage in it everyday, on the weekday it is usually for 30 minutes to an hour a day, ... |

| From the age of 1 to around 5 I had dozens of seizures, and was put on phenobarbital to help control them, then around the age 5 they just stopped and I was taken off of the drugs at 6. I do wonder if these seizures I had when little are related to my ASD. Is this common for people on the spectrum? ... |

| Can someone explain to me how Executive Function Disorder as seen in Autism or Attention Deficit Disorder as seen in ADHD, are any different than laziness. I really don't see the difference. This comes from someone who has ASD. |
