Thank you Isabella for educating me. You are a true friend (if you don't mind me saying that  ). I'll post more feedback tomorrow when I'm more awake. |

| Being so we only got one chance to go to a school prom in our whole school experience (except maybe in sixth form as well), going to the prom at the end of year 11 was a big deal and also quite daunting for everyone, as well as overwhelmingly exciting. I didn't actually go to my prom, even though my... |

| I don't get how it's impossible for boys at school to want to fasten their top button on their shirt yet when it comes to prom night they have their top button fastened neatly the whole time. |

| That sounds like Scopophobia. ^ I have that too. It seems to be based on anxiety about "what if" rather than memories of trauma from the past. I could be wrong though, since I don't know your life story. CPTSD is usually defined as a longterm experience that you can't escape, where your l... |

| You have CPTSD? ^ Not diagnosed but I think I have it, or some form of PTSD. I seem to be very afraid of strangers, to the point where feeling targeted is just a big deal to me and it will give me ass sorts of emotions such as anger, anxiety and depression, and can make me not want to go out. The a... |

| So, how does WP feel about antiquing? I've seen some hilarious antiquing videos. In the UK around Halloween they introduce rules in shops about selling eggs and flour to kids as Halloween somehow turned into an egging and antiquing fest. I get reluctant to go out on Halloween because I keep thinkin... |

| Even someone who occasionally lacks empathy and is prone to impulsive behaviours probably won't resemble a psychopath unless they've got most of the other traits as well. This is true. We can all lack empathy sometimes, nobody's perfect. And I am prone to impulsive behaviours due to ADHD. But I hav... |

| People here and on mental health websites have this nasty habit of lay-diagnosing anyone who is unpleasant to them as a "Narcissist," even when said unpleasantness lies well withing the range of non-mentally-ill behaviour. That is true. Unless someone is showing explicit narcissist behavi... |

| How do you guys who are on meds get away with drinking so much? I've been told I mustn't drink (or smoke) on the antidepressants and the strong antihistamines that I'm on. Not that I do drink or smoke anyway, but I don't want to risk drinking even if I wanted to. |

Why are superhero movies a common favourite among autistics?
(Not criticising, just curious).
I, for one, find superhero movies incredibly boring. |

I've probably fancied, oh let's just say, 60 men in my life (no I didn't date all of them, some may even be celebrities I'v... |
