| The sport commentators that annoy me are not the ones that shout but the ones that ramble on about things that is not relevant to what I am watching. If I am watching a sport event I want to hear what is actually going on not what the sports player was doing in there spare time etc. |

| On Tuesday I really had to fight with myself as if I was at a cross between either having a meltdown or getting extremely hyperactive. The cause of it was because through the whole weekend I was socialising. Yes I did enjoy the weekend but coming back home and winding down from that on Tuesday was h... |

| When it comes to some tasks I can be slow due to Gross Motor Functions but there are some things I can do a lot faster but that is due to being used to things. |

No
I was in a special needs class though but that was for Autistic students who are considered high functioning. |

| With Autism there are advantages and disadvantages. Personally I would rather get rid of the disadvantages and keep the advantages. |

| Through the years for me this one has changed. When I was younger in my teens I would wear layers even on the hottest day. Now, I am more less the opposite I only wear layers in the winter especially when it is extremely cold. When summer comes it is shorts and t-shirt what started that off was when... |

| Could the increase be explained by improvements in picking up on those who are on the spectrum ? That's more, or less, what most folks on this six page thread have suggested. Up until roughly 2000, I would agree. And no, I am not contradicting myself, naturalplastic. The study of the phenomenon we ... |

With me I had phases. One minute I would be clingy the next no.
At school I could get clingy with friends and want them to do what I wanted to do without thinking about how they would feel about it.
With parents I was clingy at home but outside of home no I wasn’t. |

| I have a very confusing diagnosis story. I always believed I was diagnosed circa 1996/97 when I was 10 year’s due to school recommendations. Which helped me into secondary school where there was an Autism/Asperger’s unit which even back then was a rare thing to have in a mainstream school. But recen... |

| I think it must be more on the Creative side. As a child I did the ‘let’s pretend thing’ sometimes I worked better with that on my own rather than people. If I am travelling someone I always try to visualise the journey whilst planning and even more so on the days leading up. When it comes to things... |

| I read in my Autism report from when I was 13 years old that I had ‘No Imagination.’ I don’t understand what they mean because I thought I did have an Imagination. |

Sadly some do.
In my opinion it is a situation that does need to be addressed. I am sure that in the future things will be much better. |

| How are you not homeless? It is the case of living on welfare and getting help and having good money management skills. But also I still live at home. I would rather have a job and my own place but sadly this is life. As for homelessness most of the time that is by choice people do get help and the... |
