I sometimes have tics that happen always in my legs that happen at home.

My mom and my NT sister both believe that I'm making this all up.

Are the tics a sign of something?

Mine have been driving me crazy lately and I assume it's due to stress

My dad gives me s**t for a tic where my leg bounces.

Funny thing is that he has it too and so does his brother.

I wonder if it's common for spectrumites and those adjacent to be irritated by other people openly displaying traits that they've put effort into masking.

Corollary, I wonder if that might explain some fraction of bullying, especially when it involves folks on or adjacent to the spectrum amongst ourselves. It's either corrective (hey, that's going to get you picked on by people worse than me) or because they've had to "correct" that behaviour and now have negative associations with that behaviour, so if they can't do it you sure as hell can't because it triggers those negative associations.

I used to have bad tics when I was like 9-10 but my mother never did anything about this because, as she claims, "children shouldn't take psychotropic drugs". So all her so called methods of "curing" me boilt down to her malicious remarks that I "looked like a barking dog" then. :evil:

I think I must cheer people up sometimes because sometimes when I say things they smile (well almost to the point of laughter if I'm honest). But I don't know why but I don't suppose it matters either

I've been wearing hats that look like German helmets for 9 years and I'm not about to stop. It makes dealing with society easier for me.

I don't know how to deal with the pressures of society in a normal way.

Sometimes when I'm having a bath I can hear my nextdoor neighbour having a bath through the wall so I sing really loud in the hope that they will join in

They never do

I was singing Bob Marley this morning as well

When I was a kid I was like the kid from Martian Child.
I want to adopt, there's too many kids like me outside there and I was too luck to have my mom.
But I will never be able.
...
I look selfish because is too dangerous for me believing in people and I don't want making people misunderstanding me so I want being hated.
...
Im a sad person who pretend to be the luckiest.
...
I don't have episodic memory, I'm scared to be prone to have alzheimer... I've got a huge PSTD.

I always got my homework done on Fridays so I'd have time to work on my groovy artwork for the rest of the weekend.

At school, I hated the Polish positivism when it comes to the Polish literature course:

But I loved The Young Poland:
