| Thank you, this aspect of it is for sure trying. Especially when people don't understand why you are having a problem with it. Yep. I,m having my own personal adventure with stress today. Ugh. :( I like to get references and documentation from reliable sources, playing in Google found the following... |

| We also live right near a train track, and sometimes they blow the horn right by our place. I will take it though over the fireworks because it is more predictable. I've even got to where I can cover my ears in my sleep. |

| Sorry I know Ive posted a few times today, but thought of this too. Do any of you have favorite chunks of a favorite movie that you watch over and over? I watch the first one third of The Great Gatsby (2013) over and over, must be a hundred times at least in the past year. It's just so fun to watch ... |

| Is this a typical autism thing? I feel like my ability to handle unpredictable things or handle stress (especially in work environments where you are expected to hold it together and act adult) is definitely less than a typical person. I have trouble with changes to what I am doing or in what is exp... |

| I used to be very quiet, and I know as I've gotten older it has gotten easier to interact with others to an extent. It is tough because on one hand it is important to try to extend yourself at times, but you also don't want to burn out. It seems to be a balance that has to be struck. Not being super... |

| I thankfully haven't needed to overtly lie to people much because I've mostly been dealing with the status-checking games rather than probing. I do have compartments in my life - some I can share with others, some are easier online (such as here) because there are very few people who will ever meet... |

| Eh, kinda had a meltdown last week. Came home from work just about catatonic, went and curled up in bed and had to hide for awhile. Got a little better next day. I honestly don't know how normal people handle so much in life with such ease. I just work a job that isn't too complex but any stressors ... |

| I'm heterosexual and I'm in a healthy loving relationship with my NT boyfriend and I know what love is and how to express it, and I'm not with him just for sex at all (he's not with me just for sex either).
