| I'm finding this thread quite an interesting read, not least because I'm almost the same age as the OP (I'm 17). The idea that autism isn't a disability is something that occurred to me quite recently, when I was thinking about the different symptoms. I won't claim to have a perfectly structured opi... |

| But at night I process through the day and end up with sudden intense (sometimes physically agonizing) emotions that overwhelm me and the thought about the actual event feels like a string that led me to that state. . Yes! As I say, I posted at 4am because that's when the thought struck me, because... |

| I really like deep pressure, like someone lying on me, even if it's just something small, like a cat resting on my feet. I just find it really relaxing :D Oh, and I like listening to varied sounds, as long as they aren't too loud. I like visualising the sound: A short sharp sound looks like a flick,... |

| So, first off, it's 4am here, so I may not be as eloquent with my wording as I'd like. Excuse any grammatical errors, and I'll try and make as much sense as possible. :) Now, the problem I've come across is a little hard to explain, because I don't know if it's 'normal', or the way I'm looking at it... |

| I haven't seen a thread on this yet, so I thought I'd start one. Have you guys seen this? According to none other than Temple Grandin's mother, autistic males are computers with the emotions of a ten year old who want other ten year olds to teach them sexuality, hence leading us towards online child... |

| So, what kind of actual speeds did you average? On the graph it said I was getting around 400-800ms depending on which bit it was, averaging about 500ms I'd say. I just flicked my eyes across the screen and the target jumped out every time. It was fast enough to have a sort of rhythm going, with alm... |

| That's why I like to do macro photography. And I'm good at untangling tiny chains on necklaces and all the wildflowers planted in the freeway medians are a huge source of frustration for me because I can't pull over and examine them when I catch a glimpse of an unfamiliar one. At a stoplight, I saw... |

| I'm generally far too anxious to get drunk, I worry about what might happen when I'm intoxicated. As such I've never been drunk. Maybe a little tipsy, but even then I start to question whether my actions would be the same if I were completely sober, which rather takes the fun out of it. It helps tha... |

| This is getting ridiculous. I hate these charities, that claim to want to help, but then take all the money for themselves. Still, I disagree with it being the worst charity. For me, that has to be Autism Speaks. They spend an even lower percentage of their funds on helping families with autistic pe... |

| Oh I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'd much rather be the person I'm becoming than the person I was. I just find the magnitude of my social changes quite different from what I normally hear, and I think it's down to the friend group I have. I just wish everyone with am ASD had a friend group like i... |

| I'm only just 17, but I was diagnosed with AS at 7, so I've had a long time to learn about and deal with it. Over the last few years I've built up a core of supportive friends (we're all kinda the 'weird' group), and worked on my social skills, to the point where now, I'd normally rather be with peo... |

| That's why I like to do macro photography. Finally! I've found the reason I love macro photography! Everything else I do seems large scale, for all I focus on the details. Starship designs, entire universes, but I always like photos of tiny little things. It's the detail no one else sees :) My lock... |

My (sadly now ex) girlfriend understood this, and let me write down my problems so we could discuss them. My skills still failed me in the end, but I'm still young. When I do get i... |

| I have to say, by far the worst for me is people eating crunchy food. Oh my god I want to kill them! Aagh! Strangely, most other sounds I'm not so bothered by, unless they're particularly distracting. I think I'm a bit of a sensory seeker, because I like to have loud music (though I very rarely do f... |
