I just signed up to this forum. I'm and adult male, mid 40's who has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome/high funtioning autism formally last year by a specialist ,but diagnosed by a psychologist/counsuler around 4 years ago. I am also a member of WP and have the same user name there....anthonylee

Welcome to Gestalt, Anthony

I was only diagnosed back in 2002... I'm in my 40's also

Think I recall your making WP thread on sensory hypersensitivity (don't know exactly how you worded it, but that was the gist). As someone who has a lot of trouble due to overreacting to (things bother me that don't matter to other people) various sensory stimuli, I can relate to that. Hope you find interesting information & interaction here.

I havn't been here much lately as I think I could and should have been!

I'm glad summer is almost over! It's the hardest time of year form me! The exsessive sunlight, bad allergies, too many people being out and about , the heat at times are all hard on me!! Fall is my favorite time of year!

[Sophist]

I love extended autumns. Although I don't like winter, especially post-Christmas.

I love the milder months in autumn and spring.

[anthonylee]

I love winter up to christmas! After christmas is new years, which I hate! After that it is boaring until spring , but still better than summer for me! late spring, I don't care for much because my allergies gwt bad and the days are too long. It is at it's worst from 4th of july through August. I hate loud fireworks!!! They hurt my ears!! I do like to see the bright colorful ones though. I think fire works should be seen and not heard!!!

I also hate it when people BBQ things that smell bad. I wonder what they are BBQing....skunk, vulture, road kill.... ......I do wish they would BBQ normal stuff!!

We watch the fireworks display in our small town from a hill some distance away from where they are set off so we see them more than we hear them.

[anthonylee]

I would much rather see fireworks than hear them because my hearing is very sensitive. Hearing the loud high pitch whistling noise and lud bangs really hurt!!
