I started going to a social group last year and it's one of the few places I feel comfortable, it's also one of the few times I actually leave the house. |

I know how you feel but I don't have an explanation, the only way I can describe it is that it's like being around other people kind of drains the life-force out of you. |

I saw it today, was expecting to be dissapointed but was pleasantly suprised. I particularly liked seeing Magneto's back story. |

Actually most weeks the numbers were just above 7 million, do you not understand what averages means. Out of 13 episodes the majority of them had numbers between 7 and 8 million. Only a few of them had numbers just under 6 million. Besides these days with the popularity of watching TV online, live v... |

I don't know if TV is the future, but I agree with you that the glory days of the major networks is coming to an end. They may have the numbers, but today all the quality and intelligent shows are on cable, with a few exceptions. Soon channels like Fox will be showing nothing but reality shows. Qual... |

Yes, usually after a few hours or days of really intense feelings. It's the best thing ever and sometimes I wish it would always be that way. |

What you described when you get to the last step, that happens to me. I have no trouble going up stairs either and I hate escalators, it's like if I can't count the steps and if I can't touch each step going down then I don't know where I am in space. If that makes any sense, I could not think of an... |

I have had invisible friends for most of my life, including now. :) They are characters taken from my favorite movies and television shows, because I am not creative enough to come up with my own invisible friends. Currently I have about a dozen or so of them (I get lonely sometimes, so I like havi... |

Yes, at every school I went to. Mostly emotional and some physical. Teachers were never any help, their usual response was that I had brought it on myself by being "different". |

I'm very familiar with this, I go through phases of obssessions. When I have a special interest it is all I can think about and it consumes me, when I'm without an obssession it's kind of like being in a hazy dream, I just feel lost and not really attached to anything. Like right now, two shows I lo... |

Yes! This happens whenever I see a movie that has characters I like in it, especially if the movie is one of my obsessions. And even if I don't outwardly act like the characters too much, I will temporarily feel like I'm them on the inside, if that makes any sense. That does make sense, I know exac... |

I'm not non-verbal and I don't know anyone in real life or online who is. But a few weeks ago I watched this documentary called The Sunshine Boy which is mostly about non-verbal people with autism. Some of the people were able to explain what you are asking about very well. |
