| Everyone seems to have grown up without a diagnosis. As a person who did grow up with a diagnosis I'm actually traumatized by it. But I can't speak for everyone. I guess growing up with a diagnosis has its good side that I probably take for granted, but even so, I don't think many spectrumers are as... |

| f*****g s**theads upstairs driving me bonkers. Sounds like they're constantly moving furniture around and stamping about. I'm fed up with living with my ears constantly having to be shielded. Even when I was away in a quiet hotel I still felt I had to put in my earplugs because I've gotten too used ... |

| Yes, Moss and Data spring to mind. Hm...who else. I don't relate to Quinnie from Heartbreak High, she seems rather too excitable. Not a character, but the autistic actor Joe Thomas is very relatable, especially the puzzled expressions he makes at everything. The same Joe Thomas in the Inbetweeners?... |

| Thanks people. I've brushed my teeth for 4 minutes instead of 2 tonight, to make up for it. My teeth feel OK. Yeah they won't all fall out because you missed a day It's Google. Why does it do that? Today it told me that having a song in my head for more than 24 hours is worrying and means I could h... |

| I have babies...little fur babies. I don't think I'll ever have human babies because of my unnatural intolerance to pain. |

My boyfriend keeps getting emails from Facebook sent to him saying his account has been hacked into
or something. The thing is, he doesn't have a Facebook account and as never even attempted to create one before.
Does this sound like spam that we should just ignore? |

| I went out for coffee with my one friend! A real person! I told her we will be moving house next year and she said she'd miss me! I told her she's really been the only person who cares about me locally and made it worth living here. Otherwise I've been suicidal with loneliness and feeling excluded,... |

Perhaps if people still want to share what they “would ha... |
