| I am self-diagnosed. Autism is better than schizophrenia. The word - "schizophrenia"...it seems so negative and degenerative. I don't want that. Besides, my symptoms (if you really want to call them that. let me say, traits) started before ever hearing voices or seeing real spirits (which ... |

| I feel the same way, its like, I'm romanticizing it, its who I am, I hope I really am autistic. I put on masks. I remember a childhood playing outside alone and loving school and sitting by myself being a loner. I don't have a diagnosis. But its part of my identity now. |

| I just wish I could share all my feelings of having ASD. My mom denies it even though all the signs were there and she missed them. I feel so lonely lost in my head, and embarrassed if I share my ideas and "symptoms", e.g. traits. I just wish I could share these with people who understand,... |

| I thought that maybe employers would do a background check and find out. Find out what neurologists or psychiatrist's diagnoses me, and see what I post online. And discriminate even though they aren't allowed to. |

| I want a diagnosis because I want confirmation that I'm autistic and it explains my teenage "fitsos" in grocery stores and at home (My mom used the term "fitso", I didn't, I didn't know why I was screaming and punching/kicking the air), being shy and not talking, wanting to get i... |

| going places scares me. I have very traumatic bus experiences and even walking experiences, where I found myself at a weird highway or a scary neighborhood. I once was able to take a plane from Pittsburgh to Phoenix Arizona without any assistance. Now I am terrified of planes, I really want to move ... |

| It's an invisible "disability". To me autism isn't a disability, even more so it is a super power, I am different, so what? Despite all that, I wish people would believe that I have autism. |

I am oversensitive to cold and noise. I get so cold I feel hypothermic. And the world feels noisy and angry.
My special interests are gymnastics, New Zealand, and autism. |

| I feel the same way sometimes, embarrassed. Other times I reclaim it and am confident: this is the way I am and if people don't understand, that's on them. I'm never ashamed but sometimes embarrassed and awkward. What I do is I take a breather, step outside of the situation. When it's nice out, I sa... |

| Lately my wrists have been hurting. I'm wondering if flapping my hands is causing the pain. I had a dream where a woman told me to stop flapping my hands and at first I was offended, and then she grabbed my wrist and held it straight. I found it comforting, and now I sometimes hold my wrist with my ... |
