| 6. I feel just more than in the middle of the positive. I'm glad I'm not sad but I don't feel the best. |

| I need to get a job. I want to buy things. Also I don't do much with my days. I just feel like I am not ready. Im 22 though, so people think it's weird I don't have one. I just feel really scared. I want to move out though. Both of my siblings are doing that. I don't even know why my parents aren't ... |

| I don't wear tight clothes. I am not a huge fan of socks lately. They are a bit tight on my feet. I am also very sensitive to light. I prefer natural light during the day. Yet sometimes I experience it where im under stimulated and I look at a bright light and spin. I go between being over stimulate... |

| I stim quite frequently. I like to rock back and forth, pace, spin, write with my fingers and chew on things. I also flap my hands. I also will stare at lights and spinning objects. I have a lot of interests that I've been obsessed with and know a lot about. I struggle with understanding my emotions... |

| Thank you so much for posting this! It's probably more than just autism that has led you to be so unconventional in how you interface with reality, and if you're like me you might have some cocktail of comorbidities. I was just having deja vu in responding to a post a few moments ago. And yes, some... |

| I see the world differently. I have since I was a kid. I don't know if it's because of autism or not. I have visions and deja Vu. I have a strong connection to certain things that I don't really know about. I have intense emotions because of these things. I've had dreams and then later been to place... |

| I'm just like not feeling great. I actually think it's because of negative thoughts. I don't know why I get negative thoughts and feelings. I try not to indulge them. It's a compulsion though. Also I just think I've changed. I'm stuck even though I feel that change. For me it's become unnatural to b... |

| I can't really relate to other people. I've never had a job other than once and I was barely scheduled because I wasn't very consistent. I couldn't really manage post secondary. I got below acceptable grades in grade 12. Everyone I know seems to have a job. I want a job because I think it could help... |

| Social withdrawal, changes to functioning level and mental health symptoms all might be relevant if you're experiencing extended burnout. It's not even exclusive to people with ASD, it just seems like we're more susceptible. In general it seems like people with autism are always dealing with a lot ... |

| I actually think my symptoms are burnout or similar. It all kinda started when I couldn't mask anymore. I think my parents don't understand that burnout is a thing and that my behaviours are actually me feeling overwhelmed. Also I read an article about my diagnosis. It said that people with my diagn... |

| I drink so much coffee. I started making it more when I felt kind of sluggish or unmotivated. But now I just drink it a lot. I don't really think it's good because I drink it whenever it's offered even when I've already had some. Also it kind of helps me have energy for social events. However even i... |

For example I'm not even sure what my baseline is and I keep being told there's room for improvement. I've been told to be honest. I just don't know if I'm willi... |

| That's a difficult one cos love is similar to obsession. The love song lyrics say things like 'cant get you off my mind' cos that's how it is, almost indistinguishable from obsession. How long have you known each other? We have known eachother for 4 years. Each of our relationships lasted about a m... |
