| I sleep with a weighted blanket, and the room as cool as I can get it without my husband freezing to death ;) I'm sensitive to heat, but love the deep pressure of the weighted blanket (I wish it was heavier!! I might buy a second one just for layering!).. So, I keep the room cold to counteract the h... |

| I've always struggled with eye contact. I was yelled at by adults when I was a child for "not listening" because I wouldn't even look at faces then. "Look at me when I'm talking to you!!" - That phrase infuriated me because I WAS looking at them... Their shoulder, or their knee, ... |

| First, I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but since it mainly involves exercise, I'm putting it here... Feel free to tell me if I'm in the wrong place. Over the last 2-3 years, I have gained probably 50 pounds. I'm not happy about it, and would like to get rid of it. The problem is, I've done ... |

| I'm 39, and if I've groomed myself properly, I get mistaken for mid-20's. HOWEVER, I also have full dentures, and if you see me without my teeth, I look MUCH older.. 60-70... I thought it would be funny to try and get the senior discount at IHOP one day. Nobody else thought it was amusing.. hehe :P :P |

I am suspected Aspie (Ok, I'll just go ahead and say it - I AM AN ASPIE.. LOL)
I have 3 children:
A son, 19, diagnosed at various ages with PDD/NOS, classic autism, and Asperger's
A son, 17, NT but with slight OCD tendencies
A daughter, 15, ADHD, but I suspect possible mild Aspie too. |

I can tune out a quickly revolving alarm, but not a low-volume, wide-interval noise. Drives me nuts! I also make "the pained face" and fingers in the ears when someone blows up a... |
