| I don't know why, but I have this feeling that if I was to have a baby it will be a little boy. (Is this a broody maternal thing?) I just feel panicky because my biological clock is ticking and running out. I'm going to be 33 this year and for a woman it's getting too old to make a baby because ther... |

| People on the spectrum aren't meant to meet people in pubs and bars, because whatever effort we'll make people would just respond with the dreaded words of social rejection; ''stop following me'', ''I wasn't talking to you'', and ''do you want something??'' - even those of us who know better to be c... |

| I know all the warning signs but I'm quite easily manipulated emotionally, even if I don't believe them I still pretend to, to keep the peace and to keep them happy. So basically I'll put their needs before my own and I can be too forgiving. That's probably the reason I'd end up in an abusive relati... |

| I feel "less autistic". I don't believe severity levels are true for everyone but they do exist. Some people are "severe", as in being non-verbal and being unable to look after themselves independently, even if they are better than the rest of us at building a puzzle, they're sti... |

| I get myself caught in a rut but I'm bad at following routine, if that makes sense. Sometimes I find routines too overwhelming, such as going to work 5 days a week. I have impulsively taken a day sick in the middle of the week before, just to break the weekly monotony. But I'm also in a rut, meaning... |

| I’m a 62 year old autistic person who doesn’t have diabetes or heart disease. It’s good to look after your health, and not to panic. Well I don't drink alcohol or smoke, so that's a good start. I do eat a lot but don't most people? The UK has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world. I'm no... |

| And people wonder why I call autism a disease and a curse. :roll: Cheers, that's me up the doctors again soon, just to check that I haven't got any deadly diseases due to my 'autism'. I've probably got heart disease without even knowing it. :roll: ASPartOfMe why do you have to keep posting this s**t? |
