    Sounds Autistic to me. Like I said, I'm no expert, though.

    Neither am I an expert on it...... It has only been recently that I have dealt with my denial and started to accept the fact of what they say I am......I never studied up on autism or Asperger's and so at this point am fairly clueless about it........ But I sure do appreciate your input because like I say, I think you are correct. I will be studying this stuff more in the future.

    @NoFumus I have a question for you: I was wondering if a weird phenomenon I have may be related to Asperger's...... I have noticed that on occasions (especially when I am concentrating) if a noise occurs around me then sometimes I suddenly jump as it startles me.... These noises do not need to be loud either. I don't know maybe this is just a way weird question. I am asking because I never see anyone else do it and so am just curious.

    @AXIOM_1 google Synethesia.
    Do numbers and letters have colors associated with them in your mind?
    Do colors have taste?
    Do sounds seem to have mass or shapes?
    (Another gift I have)o_O

    Hey, I am Norwegian..... Maybe there is a weird genetic thing and being an introvert?

    Not quite sure where I got it from. But I do remember digging through some info on schizoidism a while back. And, iirc, it's somewhat more prevalent in Nordic countries than the global average.

    May be old data. May be wrong data. I'm not sure.

    And... well... In general, we're not famous for being very approachable and open to strangers.

    Some people say Tourette's and Autism are connected. I'm not sure.

    I couldn't answer that.
    Possibly?
    I think it's all too new to say for sure.
    We really are just finding the roots and causes for a lot of these conditions.
    So. ......?

    Was it you that said you scream at yourself in your head? I kinda do that, but I definitely scream at myself out loud. Sometimes VERY loud.

    Lol.
    No. It wasn't me.
    But. .... yes. I do that too.
    I scream at others too.
    Because you can't just say what's on your mind.
    Crazies do that. (So do I.....)
    Yeah, about fear or failures or. ... general upset.
    You too?

    I don't do it intentionally. Usually it's not directly connected to any feelings or thoughts of the moment, but sometimes it is.

    Ya?
    That's tourrettes right? (Spelling? )
    I haven't gotten that diagnosis so far.
    But the way it's going?
    Seems like I got one "beautiful" mind. Lol

    A few good people have discussed starting a thread for those of us with aspergers or possibly add/adhd.
    Or whatever flavor you might have stamped on you.
    Does vaping help get through a stressful day?
    Do you vape as soon as you wake up? I do!
    Do you have a reason why vaping relaxes, calms, or otherwise helps you during your day?
    Or, is it a crutch?
    Something you want to give up?
    (Just please, respect everyone's opinion? Thanks :) )
    want to talk to other vapers with the aspie outlook
    Sound off.
    If you have something to say,
    Please share!

    I have asbergers and ADHD. I find it calms me down some and it kinda pacifies me as I talk a lot. It also serves as kind of obsessive hobby for my asbergers which isn't bad. All in all I think it's pretty helpful

    Me too.

    For me this thread has been eye opening.

    Well you can reply tomorrow. I have been obsessively browsing this forum all day if that tells you anything. Oops. Glad to meet someone like me. It is oddly comforting. Feel free to pm me too if I get too derailing. I tend to do that (go figure)

    No worries at all.
    Post what ever you are comfortable with.
    If we help each other, it's perfect.

    Goodnight sir!
