So who else here has autism, or knows someone who has it?

I'm on the spectrum. I had a lot of trouble with sensory input as a child, certain sights/sounds/smells and even flavors would just cause me to shut down. I also had to teach myself social cues, how to laugh, etc. I still manifest some obvious symptoms like speaking too loud occasionally without realizing, not liking to be touched by or particularly close to most people and a strong aversion to change in routine. Most people don't even know that about me and are pretty surprised if it comes up in conversation.

Rats, those are another two things I forgot. Change in routine is UNBEARABLE to me (finding a job provoked a lot of anxiety) and I hate hate hate loud sounds. When my dog gets up and barks out of nowhere, I feel like tearing my hair out until the loudness stops. Dunno if these are expressly "autistic" traits though, or just eccentricities.

It's possible I may have autism. I doubt it though. I'm just not a people person.

As for people I know, my dear friend CompyRex has severe autism.

Re: So who else here has autism, or knows someone who has it

Oh! I've forgot a couple of other Asperger's symptoms I have. People often say I talk too loudly, or that I have a very resonating voice. It's quite useful for reading books aloud for classes though. 8-)

I'm also extremely clumsy/uncoordinated, which is why I don't like sports. I had taken several swimming lessons classes as a child, yet I still don't know how to swim correctly. I just don't have the finely tuned motor skills required to coordinate my limbs to properly swim, play tennis, dance, etc.

Re: So who else here has autism, or knows someone who has it

I'm Facebook friends with a guy with autism, PDD-NOS with comorbid anxiety. He had to take a lot of speech therapy when he was a kid, and his voice sounds odd. His two interests are music and foreign languages. He got on trouble on YouTube and some online forums for claiming to speak a ridiculously large amount of languages. He quit YouTube but has a band channel, besides his Facebook and whatever online accounts he still has. When he got kicked off a forum he wanted me to help him get back on, but of course I refused and told him that wasn't appropriate.

He still has his quirks, but he's definitely growing as a person. He's from the Toronto area and is studying to become a Spanish interpreter. And no, he hasn't asked me to help him overturn any bans in a long time.

I'm romantically involved with an aspie. One who takes great pride in how she steals the limelight from TRUE and HONEST autistics

Re: So who else here has autism, or knows someone who has it

My uncle definitly has a form of it ( though he is undiagnosed)

He is 60 years old and still lives with my grandmother (alternating between her house and a downtown hotel room)

He weighs about 95 pounds and knows everything about old tv shows ( I love Lucy, Gilligans Island, Mickey mouse club etc.)

He is very gruff and crotechety but he truly enjoys speaking to his nieces and nephews ( and siblings) when he gets the relativly rare opprotunity to
