| From the time I was a child up until about 3 years ago (when I was 24), I was slightly on the heavy side and maybe could have stood to lose 10 or 15 pounds. But my weight has been more of a struggle for the past 3 years. I can't seem to just eat what I want without worrying about gaining weight anym... |

| Yes. Not so much behavior-wise, but I definitely had childish interests, and didn't relate to very many kids my age. For example, in my early teens, I was obsessed with Little House on the Prairie (the books and the show). I'd go around pretending that I was Laura Ingalls or some other character fro... |

| I hate the sound of people chewing and smacking their gum loudly. This. I swear it should be illegal to chew gum in public! I also can't stand the sound of people coughing and clearing their throats. Certain people make worse sounds than others. If it's super loud, long and drawn out, and all phleg... |

| I don't grind my teeth, I actually click them in weird rhythmic patterns...it's incredibly annoying, even to myself, but it always takes me a while to notice I'm even doing it and since you mentioned it, I almost always click my teeth while driving. I grind my teeth, but I also do this "clicki... |

| Yes, I stim by grinding my teeth constantly. It does concern me, because I know it isn't good for my teeth, but obviously it's hard to just stop. Every time I go to the dentist now, they always comment on how I have a lot of wear on my teeth for someone my age, and push me to get that headgear that'... |

| Have you asked your doctor if she could possibly use a pediatric speculum when doing the exams? I am also very sensitive, and my first couple of paps were horrifically painful. But between finding an doctor who I really like and trust, and finding out that she could use a pediatric speculum, I have ... |

| My brother and I are both probably on the spectrum, and we were pretty much the opposite in school. He was extremely good at math and science, but I tended to struggle in those subjects and instead was very good at reading, writing, history, and foreign language. I remember high school geometry bein... |

| I do think I had/have this to a degree. As a young child, I pretty much refused to speak to anyone other than my close family members, unless they asked me a question that required more than nodding/shaking my head. There were a select few people who really gained my trust who I would talk to once I... |

| I'm a bit overweight, but not obese. Although a lot of people who look at me might think I'm fairly "average." Pretty much all of my extra weight is in my waist, and since I don't wear tight-fitting shirts, people can't really see it. I've had some people act surprised and tell me I look f... |

| I was just wondering, since I've been hearing about a bunch of people getting the flu lately, just like every winter. I think I've only had the flu once, back when I was in high school. I guess I can't know for sure, because I was never ill enough to have to see a doctor, so I didn't get diagnosed. ... |

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 122 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 97 of 200
You seem to have both neurodiverse and neurotypical traits
And I scored 34 on the AQ test. |

| Yes, especially at ages 6-7. I would barely speak to anyone other than my family and the couple friends that I had. I came out of my shell a bit after that, but I still was overall shy. Just out of curiosity, did you have selective mutism because it sounds like more than just being shy. It does see... |
