| I rarely remember my dreams and sometimes I am glad I cannot remember them. One dream was randomly losing my family for an unknown reason, I couldn't find anyone and I was completely left alone. I wonder if this is how it will feel when I move out. If I get the right amount of sleep and I'm in a pos... |

| I think the only reason I tend to sweat more is because of the humidity and high anxiety, maybe? |

| I guess I'm different. I wear a really light sweatshirt or jacket when I'm out in the sun but mostly I try to avoid going outside at all costs. I love rain and snow not sunny and humid/bees. |

I do not have AS but I do however sweat more.
I sweat everywhere and I do not exercise very often.
Sometimes I wonder if people can see me sweat too.
My forehead, palms, feet, arms and back sweat. |

| What is the whole point of doing group work? I know it's for when you get a job but this is High school. The school year started out fine and I had average/ high grades and now they are below average. Does anyone else struggle with group work? Independent work is not a problem but group work is.

I also have a huge fear of blood. I don't like bloody noses either. I also fear falling down because it can also lead to my fear of blood.
Not sure if this counts as a fear/phobia but public restrooms is another one.  |

| One piece of advice an online friend had for me a few years ago was to seek out other people who seemed lonely or on the fringe, because they would appreciate being noticed by someone for a change. He used to hang out in chat rooms where he would sometimes see people lurking instead of talking, and... |

| Most "friends" I used to make probably just wanted to be around me so they didn't look like a loner. Most "friends" I used to make never invited me to their house or any event (birthdays, etc ) I do like people and wish to be around them and I am Neurotypical. I experienced this a few times, too.

| I remember they linked Adam Lanza from the Sandy Hook Elementary School with Aspergers. I always see the media saying something negative about certain conditions/ disorders . Sometimes I wonder why murderers are linked with ASD and not something else. |

Flies are also annoying and if it lands in my drink or food then I am done eating. I don't know why bees scare me but they just do. I am tryi... |

| I am the same way. I get called rude for not responding back. I don't talk to people a lot so I don't really expect someone to say "Hi" especially from a stranger. I feel weird if I respond back to the person and the "Hi" wasn't for me. Especially when people wave at me and I'm not sure if I'm suppo... |
