I crave stimulation. This can and sometimes does include learning. The learning may just be reading a news article, or it may be a skill. |

-I am too fat -I eat when I'm not even hungry and I am obsessed with food This is something I experience as well. I saw my doctor about this. He prescribed Adipex for it. It's helped. If I forget to take it in the morning, I'm hungry and thirsty throughout the whole day. -I am afraid of people, bec... |

I was diagnosed with Aspergers 1st and then Cyclothymia 2nd. It was cyclothymia instead of bi-polar because except for a few times, I never dipped down into crushing depression or jumped up into full-blown mania. The cycles would last 1-2 weeks with maybe a week at most of normalness inbetween. I'm ... |

I never attended assemblies if I could help it. By my Senior year of high school, I managed to escape from all but 2 of them without any problem. I had an aversion to being in large groups of people. I never stuck around to see anything like a drill team from the ROTC or from the military. |

If I ever get back into Half-Life 1 through Steam, I have to have Scientist Hunt. One of the more rediculous mods for Half-Life. First to kill 150 scientists win. |

I have a kindle I got as a hand me down from a family member. It's a 1st gen. It's ok. But I don't like the user interface. If my hand spasms and presses the next page button or the menu button, sometimes I can skip 2 or more pages or end up out of the book depending on how I hold when I'm trying to... |

This sounds interesting, but I don't know how useful this would be. I'm taking a break from pencil & paper rpg right now because it's the only place I'm having meltdowns. I struggled with the in game aspect of socialization. It's one thing to socialize with the fellow gamers, but it's another th... |

If I lived near you, I'd buy them from you in cash at spot price rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. I don't know a recommended place to sell them at.
If you do sell them, you should get at least the current spot price. |

I'd recommend checking out The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce It's free on the internet, but I bought a hardcopy of it at one point. It's more funny than extravagant, but the definitions used are spot on. There is also the Tough Guide to Fantasyland by Diana Wynne Jones . She's the writer of H... |

I have sleep apnea and require the use of a cpap. I hate using my cpap. When I don't, I end up in a situation where I sleep in the evening for 1-3 hours. Then I'm up late even if I want to sleep. Also over the last five weeks, I've had two days where I've gotten more than 6 hours of continuous sleep... |

You should also post this request in the LGBT section. More WP users might see it that don't browse this part of the forum. |

I'm with Squid on this.
Did you mean Homosexual instead of Homophobic? Are you saying you are attracted to the same physical sex as your body is? Or are you saying that you don't like same-sex attraction? |

Was it an older cartoon being show as a rerun or a new cartoon? |

This is how I got my aspergers diagnosis. I was with my psychologist, and she was telling me what I could do with my art, and how to get it out into the world and possibly turn a buck. After bringing up reservations I had based on my executive function and social anxiety issues, she put two and two ... |
