| I’ve noticed with social media(Facebook) I get sensory over load. Within a few minutes of being on it I feel fatigued, anxious. It also happens when I’m not interacting with people much. Does anyone else feel like this? What is it about social media that does this? |

| IMO it’s a myth that people with an ASD don’t like fiction. There may be a statistical leaning towards this, but I know several with an ASD who like fiction.

| With regard to the economics example, I think the problem may be that you don't have a sufficient grasp of the component concepts for the example to make sense.
