I think about it the same ammount, but I don't see it as a curse. I'm on WP almost every second of the day.

Way too much. It affects everything an I'm in a period of active adjustment to what it all means.

Quite a lot, I'm still in the process. Also it's become a bit of an ongoing special interest for me.

not very often. one can not spend one's life looking at their image in a mirror.
it gets boring to be introspective, and i must engage my transmission into "drive" and roll off into my day and look at the world in front of me.

i am not very interesting to myself.
what i think is interesting to me, but i rarely wonder why i think it.

even though everything i think comes from within me, and it is not influenced by any external opinion, i do not sit inside myself looking inward and wonder who or why i am in order to have thought what i think.

i just think my way through my day without any reflections.

i do not consider my self special or worthy of my attention much.

i consider the end result of the endeavors of my thoughts to be my destination, and why i think what i think is irrelevant to me.

it is only when i answer questions such as this that i think about my self.

that's good...i think...engaging into drive is key, but i find that shifting gears is one hell of a process.

Quite a lot, especially recently since I just got an official diagnosis.

Quite a bit for now. It's my current special interest. I'm currently reading a Tony Attwood book and I have the Valerie Gaus book on cognitive therapy for AS adults queued up on my kindle.

In the beginning I used to think about it all the time. Now though I hardly think about it, unless I'm in a store stimming or someone is talking to me and I'm lost.

It's becoming a bit of a special interest at the moment because the "big why" is a late but recent revelation, and I have so much to learn about it.
Good fun though.

Not much. It's not something I care for. I'm preoccupied with other interests at the moment.

I don't have the official diagnosis yet, but this is pretty much what I'm going through.

Still plan to get the official diagnosis.
