| My parents were worried that I wouldn't survive going away to college, but I made it through just fine. So I guess I'm high functioning. But that doesn't mean I don't have days when I feel like I can't even function properly. |

| CORRECTION: I cast my vote of both my parents being in their forties, but I thought the question was asking how old they are now, not when they had me. :oops: The correct answer would be they both were in their twenties when they had me. Mom turned twenty-two a couple of months later, and Dad was go... |

| I'm on the spectrum, but my brother isn't. And for the record, he's younger than me, and I have no other siblings. As far as I know, I'm probably the only person on either side of the family who has Aspergers, though there might be a slight possibility of one of my mom's sisters and her mom having it. |

| Not interested whatsoever. I'm not even interested in adopting. Why? Let's just say while I'm able to tolerate and put up with kids, I'm not a very big fan of the little buggers. |

| When I tell people I'm a sophomore in college, they don't believe me. They're always like, "Are you sure? You look like you could still be in high school!" I just turned twenty! But I guess the fact that I'm only five foot-one and pretty thin kinda contributes to this. Then again, my mom got carded ... |

| I initially learned around five or six, and didn't really master the two-wheel technique until I was about eight or nine, maybe ten. But now I ride my bike around campus all the time now. It;s kinda hard to steer when you're on a sidewalk where people take up the entire width of the damn thing and w... |

| Yes, I sure did. One of my high school band directors has a son with mild autism, and hearing all the stories of what he did scared me. I thought "There's no way I'm in the same club as this kid!" After a few years, and my symptoms taking a couple of steps backwards, I was finally able to move on an... |

| Oh my God, I'm practically blind without my glasses! I've been wearing glasses since seventh grade. My mom thought I was trying to get attention just because my dad and most of my friends were starting to get glasses, but then it turned out I really DID need them! So I'm very near-sighted and have a... |

But even then, I still can wander around and be all like, "Where the hell am I?" Thank God for the MapQuest app on my phone! That thin... |
