| Im trying to stay away from the carbs to kill my candida. The candida gives you urges to eat sugar and carbs though! So very true. It's just gotta be a mind over matter thing.. you've got to decide that your health is worth much more than your cravings. If I find myself craving something a little, ... |

| As I've been transparent about, I don't have an official diagnosis. I don't require one for anything in my life & don't really want one for the potential stigma (even if only self imposed) You would impose stigma on yourself if you got an official diagnosis...but not for a self-diagnosis? :?: P... |

| "Everything New" by Peter Fox - it's in German, which I don't speak nor understand. I just really liked the music when I heard it.. then looked up the lyrics & like it WAY more. Seems to be a GREAT New Year's song, IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD0A2plMSVA Here are the lyrics in... |

| That question makes no sense here. Literally, it makes no sense, because this forum is for LGBT individuals. A gay person, obviously, may be interested in dating someone who is straight, but because that person is straight, they would not reciprocate the feelings. A bisexual person could well fall ... |

| And another thing that I think helps me communicate with other ASD people isn't just the intuitive nature of being ASD, but also because I've read and learned a LOT about ASD.. so, even though I may be a fair bit higher functioning than the other person I'm chatting with, I find myself very aware &a... |

| The other thing I've noticed about communicating with some other aspies IRL is that if we're both in highly asd mode & have a mutual interest and can rapid fire back and forth w/ intellectual conversation almost as if we're finishing each others thoughts… the NT's in the room look on in aw like ... |

 Apparently it's for others on the forum to believe you actually have ASD.  |

| All of the above. If I'm talking with another aspie I disagree with, conversation can get heated & frustrating - especially for them since I rarely get heated or frustrated anymore. If I'm talking with another aspie with a completely different interest that I'm not interested in at all.. it's li... |

Not a surfer exactly.. but I'm a kiteboarder. I'm still learning, but can cover all the basics & get back up wind. I spent 12 days out kiteboarding in Squamish this past Summer and it was magical.. kiting around w/ mountain views and seals popping up for air around me.  |

I can fake things to an extent when I want to.
I'm sure others on the spectrum can fake things quite well, especially those that are actors. |

I'm with you on all of this. PM'd. |
