Quote: Made a whole 3d house model in AutoCAD... At age 13. Within less than a day.
That's cool. I did a door around the same age, not as impressive ... but in my defense the office I interned in couldn't afford 3D CAD software, so *shrug*.

| I personally feel like the "strengths" of autism are mostly just a media image and not grounded in my own reality. Autism makes my life much more difficult and I don't have much help from any unusual skills in real life (possibly because real life isn't built around people like us). Learni... |

I guess I was keen on travelling. Over the span of 10 years, I lived in 11 different places in 3 countries, and visited 20 countries (+ a lot of cities there).
I used to like climbing so I climbed trees and a silo with no lifeline. Luckily survived. |

| Hi. I'm new here. Sorry to post so long after but I am a 27 year old man who just got married a few months ago. I've felt the mental strain throughout my relationship due to masking and I am finding it increasingly difficult now we are married. I used to feel like that when I got married. It took m... |

| I didn't get much in the way of dating in the past. While my looks aren't anything to write home about the problem was also that the women I approached would not consider someone like me, and the women who were open to date me were not considered by me. Probably because I didn't realize what a relat... |

| Nice Guys™ who will do anything to gain a woman's attention except grow a spine and show some self-respect. Maybe they're afraid of confrontation, I dunno. In Japan, they say the couples who loves each other the most are those who fight. Because they trust each other so much they're not afraid to d... |

| I can't imagine what will happen if I were to have kids... I can, since I have a 1 year old daughter (along with a wife and full-time job). I still find some time for hobbies, but usually just between 22:00-22:50 when my kid has gone to bed. It helps that almost all of my hobbies are computer-relat... |

There were times when I would obsessively check all the time tables of the buses, trains, planes etc. that would take me to my destination, fearing anything from a delayed departure to anxiety over using public toilets.... |

| Again, that's much like my attitude to the rat race. There's a part of me that kind of regrets not testing myself against the challenge to get to the top of the pile, but a bigger part of me is very glad I never did any such thing. Socialism gave me an ideology to back up my attitude, but even with... |

I broke my arm two days ago from a bad fall (which also required stitches on my chin). After a tiring journey through the hospital system, things have calmed down and I got reassured I don't need surgery.
Also coffee and cake. |
