It hasn't happened because I haven't been wearing pants with the material that caused it.

Thank you all for your concern. 🙂 As I said though, the vomiting only happens when I wear pants out of un-breathable material. It hasn't happened in a long time. I also don't think the doctors will be able to find anything serious causing it.

I have not, I don't feel it's drastic enough for that. For one thing, what will they tell me to do about it? "Just keep wearing skirts, that seems to solve the problem."

I only drink coffee and ice water. When I had to pull over and vomit, I vomited up water and bits of crackers. I was feeling dehydrated/nauseous at work earlier (and that feeling that sensation of heat trying to escape beneath my pant legs) so I ate some crackers and drank some water. That obviously didn't help. To say that autistic people have heightened state of senses is like saying the Pope is very Catholic, lol.

Nope, not at all.

Yes, you hit the nail right on the head with that autistic symptom. Also when I vomited in the car, that was a long time ago, like 5 years---and I vomited water and crackers because that's all I had eaten before I left work. I could feel the heat trying to escape from beneath my pant legs, giving me that signal that all was not going to be ok.

Ok thank you, I'll keep this in mind for next time. But I think I was more so curious if anyone strongly feels that the heat in my legs are somehow connected to how my body handles heat. (And not very well, obviously.) I get a sense something like that is going on.

Over the past few years, I've experienced this strange phenomenon with pants and dehydration. It started one hot Summer day I was driving to meet a friend for dinner. Even though my air conditioner was on, I was feeling very dehydrated and overheated. I pulled over and vomited into a towel in my backseat. Here's the weird thing: right before I vomited, I felt this weird sensation of heat trying to escape from beneath my pant legs. (Of course, the pants were made of a fabric that was not breathable at all.) Another time, the same exact thing happened: I was wearing jeans and feeling very dehydrated, and then right before I vomited, I felt that weird sensation of hot air trying to escape from beneath my pant legs. Suffice to say, since those incidents I haven't worn pants that don't have breathable fabric. (The idea of putting on jeans makes me wanna rip my skin off, lol.) I've always been a huge girlie-girl and love dresses and skirts. There have been times when I've gone outside on a cool, breezy day wearing a skirt---and the cool air against my bare legs is practically an orgasm for my soul, lol. There's nothing like it. After reading all of this, do you think perhaps my body heat is "off" in some way? Or is there some logical explanation?

I did apologize and explained that I'm autistic.

I'm not sure if this is the right topic to post this in. Here it is: On Twitter I asked a couple if their relationship was open. The girl replied to me saying that "was wildly inappropriate." I explained that they have inspired me so much, and when I meet them I would like to give them a hug and a kiss. Open relationships are more common than you suspect. But how am I supposed to know unless I ask?

All of my guests were leaving when Griffin and I decided to go for a night-walk. My birthday dinner/party had ended. (I know, I should’ve told my parents what he and I were doing. Obviously big mistake on my part.) In case none of you have figured it out, I love spooky stuff. I’ve always wanted to explore and visit abandoned places. Another reason I was tempted to go for a night-walk the other night.

I went to high school with Griffin, so obviously we’ve known each other awhile. He actually came to my 33rd birthday dinner; after the restaurant we all went back to my parents house for cake. He and I then slipped out and went for a walk down by our old high school. I made the mistake of not telling my parents what we were doing. My mom caught up with us and Griffin went home. My mom thought it was weird that we did that. He also brought a bottle of beer with him to our house, which she also thought was weird. lol so was my mom overprotective in that circumstance for thinking everything he did was weird?

Cute…even my mom said that she heard, “Asking a mother to not worry about her children is like asking water not to be wet.” I guess that’s true!

Yes; how is leaving the house at 1:30am and coming back at 3:40am any different from leaving for dinner at 7pm and then coming back home at 3:40am? Ok…good to know it’s their right to know.

Yes I have a car. I would’ve driven over to his house, and then we would’ve walked around his neighborhood. Our town is small and not known for crime.

Even if I had woken her up and said, “Mom, I can’t sleep. Griffin just asked if I wanted to come over for a walk. I’m gonna stop by and be back in 2 hours.”

As I’m sure you all know, I’m autistic and I live at home with my parents. A few nights ago I couldn’t sleep. I called my guy friend, Griffin, and we talked for a bit. It got very late, 1:30am. He invited me over to go for a walk. I didn’t go, I got a headache and took an advil and went to sleep. I told my mom about this the next morning and she was appalled. Said to leave the house so late would be disrespectful to her and Dad, and that my dad probably would’ve had a heart attack. Thing is, when I’ve met friends for dinner and then went back to their house my mom has always said, “if you’re going to be later than 12pm, call.” So, how is leaving the house after 12 pm any different from just leaving at house after 12pm? And of course she didn’t believe that Griffin just wanted to go for a walk, she said he just wanted sex. Said “I hope you have respect for yourself!” I’m like, “I do, I do!” So is my mom over-protected or is she right? Both?

How is “retroactive jealousy” any different from “regular” jealousy?

I'm autistic. That should tell all of you everything. Ok, thread officially closed.

He did steal the money. He admitted it. When he bullied me for something else a few days before the glasses I would retort, "Hey Sam, can I borrow $500?" He'd eventually say, "Can't you think of anything else?"

A 17-year old guy stole $500, made a pair of paper glasses and said he was me. I kept being told, "He's got problems!" Now I'm being told he didn't, just "boys will be boys" apparently.

Because back then when I told people what he did they'd scoff and say, "He's got problems!" Now you're all practically telling me his behavior was normal and natural. I also mentioned that he stole $500 from a teacher. I'm surprised no one has said, "Oh, boys do that kind of thing, no biggie. At least he gave it back. Laugh about it and move on."

Calm down. As I said, it was on my mind and I got curious. Goodbye.

The teacher didn't discuss Sam's personal life with me. Simply said, "He had problems." Didn't go into detail after that.

Many bullies are mean due to problems at home, and of course being insecure about themselves. Bullies (people in general) aren't mean for no reason at all.
