| I do not miss my childhood and especially teen years. I do miss being in my 20's. I miss a world where your every move and thought was not spied on. I miss a world where if you were different people and society did not try to control you nearly as much. The "Sink" or "Swim" mentality then had it's b... |

| It is not just about making a great speech. It is acting all day every day, small talk and BS all day every day, reading other people all day every day, lights all day every day, grubby food every day. It would be a lot better once the person wins an election, but I seriously doubt an person on the ... |

That may sound funny, but at the least it is a great coping skill. Daily walks. Yeah my psych and sister both told me the same thing. ... |

| Somewhat less isolated in that I go to several support groups a month. Even though it is fellow aspies I still have to force myself to walk into that room. A lot of money was spent to get that diagnoses so I I would feel guilty if I did not put in effort to get positives out of it. |

I was pretty much the only one in my school in the early 70'that did not do them because I knew even then 40 years before I heard of Aspergers and obsessive special interests I would become addicted to them. That as much as any autistic trait made me an outsider. I was a casual drin... |
