| Hello, I am in the middle of what I believe to be a bad autistic burnout. I’m so exhausted in every aspect - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I live alone, Carr for my pets (which are the only things keeping me going), and I’m terrified about what to do. I don’t have a job at the m... |

| Hi everyone! My question this evening regards us Aspies making friends - I never made any friends in primary school, and just managed a small social circle in High school. I made several friends at uni but not to the extent we met up very often (or even now that uni is over). I really don't have man... |

| Hi all! I've always known I was different sexually but until recently I had no idea that asexuality was even a recognised 'orientation'. I feel the same aesthetic appreciation for people I find beautiful, but I don't feel attraction. I've never had a relationship and yes, I have tried sex with both ... |

Viscerotonia = 14
Somatotonia = 10
Cerebrotonia = 24
Scores should range between 8 and 24.
Scores from 8 to 13 could be considered "low,"
from 14 to 18 "medium,"
from 19 to 24 "high." |

I'm sure it looks ridiculous, but it's a stim and helps me do something with my hand (I have no idea what to do with my arms or hands during conversations!). It does get beyond just... |

When I was a child, I would perceive others my age as 'children' but not myself. I, too, would always go gooey over a cute animal, but never over children. ... |
