[QUOTE="Shari, post: 463242, member: 1848"] When I was really young, looking back and knowing what I know now, I had some serious sensory stuff going on. Food textures and clothing, mainly. Socks. OMG - the seams on socks. Hated them. Still do. When it got warm after winter, I did NOT want to transition to shorts. Vice versa when summer ended. And bull headed....OMG was I bull headed. But they said I was bright and athletic (tho neither shows now!). Reading at 5, chapter books (like Black Beauty - the original one) by 7. In 3rd grade, I loved comic books and had a pink panther one with the word "hallucinate" in it, and I always got stuck on that word! Watched nightline every night. (geek!) Was in the gifted and talented program all through school. Got bored in school about 8th grade and just stopped doing much of anything. Didn't last too long, tho, and all that really came of it was a bad grade that quickly got turned around. F's were the devil's spawn - I wouldn't have any of that! High school, for about 3-4 months, I did the whole rebellion thing (when I got knocked up - long story). I drank, but never drove while drinking. Tried pot once. Tried coke once. (didn't like pot. liked coke. enough to know I could never do that again - I'm an energy addict, what can I say? And after spending my life unable to breathe due to sinus and allergy problems, I could BREATHE. but it was bad, and I never touched it again) Didn't sleep around, but was active. Cut school an hour early once - ran into the principal on the way out of town. Band geek. Acted in musicals. volunteered to play all the obscure parts in drama (we had few boys - I always volunteered to play the boy parts). If it was oddball, I was on it.
