| Those are beautiful. I love to view paintings, some paintings move me to tears. I have always wanted to learn to paint so I could create the things that move me. |

| I'm writing a book about a painter who is autistic. I have no idea what the "story" is, it's not a mystery or anything it's really just a sort of "life" story. Drama I would say. |

| Socially I am so uncertain. I know the two engineering schools I am interested in get a lot of flack from people for having no social life and students who are more concerned with their studies. There are just little things I am not completely certain about like, computers, so I use my laptop to ta... |

| In my experience before mental illness caught up to me, college was very relaxed. Given my major had been computer programming, I find coding to be a relaxing activity (usually, when you're not screaming at it to work right). Plus I filled up my extra time with internet and art. Community Colleges ... |

| Petting the back of my hair to the point my hands hurt from doing it for what can be hours sometimes. Inhaling through nose in such a way that it vibrates the back of my palate , (similar to the sound in the grudge movie) Rubbing soft things and sniffing them uncontrollably. Hand flapping.

| For me certain noises can cause anxiety or just really irritate me. But I'm quite lucky that I'm not very sensitive (exception of certain lighting/flashing lights) There are a lot of sounds that can be anxiety inducing for me: Mastication, very heavy breathing, the sound of odd footsteps. I also ha... |
