I get yelled at online a lot.
When this happens, I usually just ignore it. |

I've also been told I argue a lot. |

I wouldn't have ignored it if it had been physical bullying. But I was just teased, and teasing is not someth... |

| I don't think it has something to do with autism. I have pale skin, but because I am slightly anemic. My being anemic is not related to autism in any way. It also depends on where you live. If you live in northern Europe or North America, where most people have light skin colors, it is probable that... |

| Personally, the changes in DSM V mean nothing to me. I was told that I still meet the criteria for autism and now I officiase lly have HFA. I don't get why many people with Asperger's worry about losing the diagnosis. I was told that if you actually have AS, you will almost certainly meet the criter... |

I was told a lot that I am talented in drawing. My grades in art changed from E in elementary school to A+ in middle school... |

The oldest memory I can remember is my grandmother looking at me and touching my hand.
I was neither 1 year old when my grandmother lived next to my parents' house. |

I don't think I'm ever going to seek an OCD diagnosis. I don't think that a diagnosis will help me, and whether I actually have OCD or not, it is irrelevant... |

| Uhm, whatever. I don't think I would go, if there were a city with only people on the spectrum. It's nothing personal; it's just that I hate changes and I wouldn't like to go to another city. Also, it's not that I get along better with people on the spectrum than with NT people. I just have troubles... |

I type fast, but I use only one hand.
The other is always on the shift button.
I don't know how people can manage to use both hands to type.
I tried to use both a few times and it always was too difficult for me, and also I was slower than when I use only one hand.
So I gave up. |

| In what way is Aspergers related to - wanting to hide away - not wanting attention from others - not wanting to be center of attention (in a conversation for instance) - thinking more of others than yourself I usually don't try to hide away, unless something makes me uncomfortable.

In HS there are school reunions, but I've always been able to get away with them.
Teachers knew since the beginning that I had Asperger's and ADHD-PI (my mother told them), therefore I could get away with school reunions whenever I wanted to and no one ever said anything about it. |
