| In terms of pets, I am fortunate enough to choose that of which means something to me. I am particularly fond of my cat children. A great example is that I currently have eight house cats as well as a mom cat with six five month old kittens. I am keeping the mom and one kitten and currently seeking ... |

| I suppose it does not help much when through a lifetime of challenges and disappointments you have built a mutual distaste for one parent and both of you much have an unspoken loathing for each others existence. I'd much sooner my father perish of natural causes than allow him to violate that which ... |

| I'll admit that I am egotistical, but it is also much a front for being given the bloody curse of autism/aspergers. I also have much of a volatile hatred or misotheism for any god that could allow such a horribleness upon my being. You see, I did not choose to be this way, and I very much hate that ... |

| I am not entirely sure if this is a singular problem or widespread with autistics, but does anyone else get irritated or infuriated when someone bothers or uses something that is yours, that you bought? Basically regardless of ignorance or not knowing and not caring? I get so incredibly infuriated a... |

| No, I don't think so. The fluctuation of my self esteem from having such an illness has caused much of being scorned and looked down upon for the greater part of my life and has taken a serious toll on my ego. Not sure how much this makes sense as probably not many autistics would have such the priv... |

These are dreams of fields without fences, almost otherworldly universes and limitless wells of creativity with which I often dip my pen into in times of wakefulness. My life awake... |

| I've had doctors diagnose me, yet I tend to wonder about the intricate aspects of such a diagnosis. I am so exceptionally high functioning that I wonder if it even really exists in me. For all doctors are capable of malpractice, intentional or not. In my scholarly years, I was already on medicine be... |

| I am not exactly sure how unique this is yet my inner voice tends to change, with which narrates my reading. For instance, if I have a particular show I prefer and have watched recently, my inner voice will mimic it if I read shortly afterward. I am not certain if this is something which I have subc... |

After years of bullying/torment/discrimination from my peers and teachers alike which lasted from kindergarten to my senior year in high school as well as my ... |

| I can't honestly say that it is all borderline paranoia, especially when some have come right out and admitted to my face that they think one of my mannerisms is a result of my autism especially when I know it isn't. The fact that some have even done this in a hateful or resentful tone especially ma... |

| I seem to have anxiety in really crowded places. I guess it causes me to feel uncomfortable and like people are judging me as if I'm under a scope of sorts. It also gives me a feeling of being suffocated perhaps similar to claustrophobia. There's no way I could ever easily tolerate a an area crowded... |

| I do and in a way, I find it very soothing and therapeutic. I also carry conversations with my cats and they often talk back in their little cat verbalizations which is quite nice and sometimes funny to me. I think it's just nice that if you have something you need to talk about or vent about and no... |

| My only thing about public restrooms is for some reason I hate going number two in them. This is probably because I've built the routine of thoroughly cleansing with soap and water after each time and you can imagine how awkward that would be in a public bathroom. I suppose I'm a bit of a germophobe... |

It's like they stop seeing you as a human being but a living manifestation of th... |
