| For me, it's difficult to handle liquids because they fascinate me. So I do not get focused on what I'm doing. For example, I open the tap water and I get stuck doing nothing because of the flow. "and that's when I developed my drinking problem" classic. lol you mean alcohol ? [youtube]http://www.y... |

My reports always used to say "bright but is easily distracted and shows little interest. must try harder" but failing to mention eve... |

My best mate from back in the day calls me a "massive OCD asperger's b*****d" when I insist on sorting stuff before we head out, jokingly I might add. It's not always easy to tell when... |

| I used to hate them as a kid, but I really enjoy them nowadays. Only problem is that the storm we had on sunday brought a freak hailstorm with it and shredded half my garden. Nothing got completely trashed and it's all recovering now, but some of them looked in a pretty sorry state when it was over. |

| Also good for depression and loneliness are pets. Cats and dogs (for me especially cats) have been a constant source of succour when I'm down - a cat sat on my lap and purring always makes me feel a bit better. Dogs do it for me. They're so honest, transparent and affectionate. A dog's attitude to ... |

| Yes, and by different groups of people as well. My old housemates from back home used to call me "the sponge" because I had a habit of soaking up seemingly random information but they didn't think bad of me for it. They just thought it was funny. A friend in Switzerland always says I have phases of ... |

I always feel my digestion and therefore my general mood is loads better if I've eaten more protein and fat, oil for the old machine :) That said, I really miss rice. Love that stuff. :( I doubt this has anything to do with AS, ho... |

| Like when carrying a bowl of soup, not even full to the brim, to my table I always seem to spill like half the soup no matter how slow or careful I walk. I also tend to spill anything I drink out of a cup a lot, and have to change my shirt often. This all sounds remarkably familiar. Occasionally yo... |

I have a decent capacity for chillies these days and I enjoy Indian, Thai and Middle Eastern food in particular. I love pork, be it bacon, roasts, scratchings, pies, ham, ribs or whatever. Being British I also d... |
