Ginko Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 No idea. I wasn't mute exactly. I would communicate but I would essentially just make noises with my mouth closed. Like I said, weird kid. Is it possible to grow out of mild autism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I remember the days of wanking to Eurotrash on a Friday night. Any glimpse of nipple or if very lucky, minge, and it was like a steel rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Ahhhhhhh, you don't grow out of it. You adapt to it. We're all autistic to some degree. There was a girl in my Y5 class who would speak to kids but not to adults. She had no issue with communicating with adults, as long as she didn't speak. Weird.

Ginko Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ah Eurotrash. The mad dash to crack one off before the next story came on which was probably to do with some random backwater European hicks eating cow shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was a little thief when I was a kid. Nicked everything, especially good Batman toys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 When I first became, erm... Sexually developed, I used to masturbate to "the box" because music videos were the only remotely sexy thing I could find on our TV... Haha I did too. Didn't wipe it down the side of the sofa though!

Ginko Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Ehhhhhhh, you don't grow out of it. You adapt to it. We're all autistic to some degree. There was a girl in my Y5 class who would speak to kids but not to adults. She had no issue with communicating with adults, as long as she didn't speak. Weird. I do sometimes think I may have been very mildly autistic as a kid. There are a few habits I remember doing and I would be completely engrossed and zoned out during them. Now I know it was all very weird but at the time I thought nothing of it. For instance, I used to think about death an awful lot as a kid when I was trying to get off to sleep in particular. It was a regular thing for a while for me. I also had a phase of pulling my eyelashes out, no reason as far as I can remember. Then sometimes at night when it was perfectly quiet I would completely zone out and focus my hearing and hear this high-pitched whine in complete silence. It wasn't tinnitus or anything like that, I can't really describe it. I'd also go into some semi-conscious state and hear what I can only describe as a lot of people whispering and overlapping each other. I read a book written by a guy with autism called Born on a Blue Day. He said that as a child he would find comfort in making patterns which is a sign of autism. I would do this to some degree. I associated colours, letters of the alphabet and shapes with each other. Like one was red and a square, two was blue and a rectangle, three a green triangle (may have been influenced by Quality Street). Like I said, weird kid.

StefanAVFC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Autism is a wide umbrella. It's likely that you have some degree of autism, but it's nothing to worry about as everybody does. As long as it doesn't effect you socially then it doesn't really have an impact on your life (and even then you can learn to deal with it).

Ginko Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Oh it doesn't affect me now, but perhaps you're right. I like to think I'm quite switched on to social situations and people in general, which is often what autism affects the most. I dunno, we're all a bit in some way or another.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's been speculated that I have autism, but my parents never had it seen to when I were a lad, so I'll stick with 'awkward'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I remember the days of wanking to Eurotrash on a Friday night. Any glimpse of nipple or if very lucky, minge, and it was like a steel rod. I remember plotting my 'adventures' with a copy of the TV guide my parents got in the paper, if Eurotrash wasn't enough I'd sometimes have to stay awake until 2/3am on Channel 5 to catch anything worthwhile.. and that was on a hand-me-down TV that I think my Gran had owned since the 80s! When I finally discovered 'Laid Bare' on Bravo I often plucked up the courage to ask my parents if I could stay up to watch SkySports. Upon hearing a noise, I would instantly switch over to SkySports to be on the safe-side where it would often be WWF/WWE - I suppose I confirmed to myself at that tender age that I wouldn't be batting for the other team so to speak, as the sight of well-toned, oily men safely killed any 'excitement' as a result of the other channel! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2014 I was exactly the same, but it was exotica erotica on Birmingham live that I'd watch.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I think I watched Sexcetera a few times, one episode had clown sex, another had a man with a vagina. Edited February 12, 2014 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
