| I never bothered with shoes with laces until I was 13 or so, then I was taught how to do the two-loop knot in about five seconds. Before than I just used slide on shoes. I still can't tie a normal shoe knot. |

.....don't want to talk about it. When I was diagnosed I didn't know what Aspergers even was, but I do remember so stuff during the diagnosis that still traumatize me to this day.
Through life I've been going through phases of hate for the diagnosis and appreciation, and right now I appreciate it. |

| I twitch and wiggle my feet almost all the time when I'm awake. Even when I try to sleep. When I was little, I thought I had restless leg syndrome or something. I also chew my nails and the skin around my nails. I'll pick at any imperfections on my skin such as scratches, blisters, ingrown hairs, l... |
