I got mine from here. It's a bit on the small side but it was well worth the money, and one of the cheapest sites you'll find. Prices doesn't match quality, the quality is way better. |

| This is pretty much my train of thought in stores too. Though I'm also adamantly trying to avoid bumping into people in the lines or in the aisles too. My thoughts in a store are usually somewhat like this: - Yay, I can see again, it's not insanely bright in here. - Ah, and the air conditioning feel... |

| It's very difficult for me to say it to my mom, and I never understood why. I do love her, but I find it hard to hug her even. It's awkward for me to say it to my bf, and I sometimes have to sit and process it when he says "I love you", and realize that means I'm supposed to say "Love you too". I li... |

| Try to branch out with topics by starting with his area of interest. Ask him what he likes to do other than video games, or what kind of specific video games he likes. See if he likes certain games. Don't force him to reply, but be gentle about it. |

People with just sensory processing problems can toe walk.
Tightened achille's heel can cause it too.
As well as several other things. |

| I'd agree with you and says girls as well. We tend to be critical of each other (NT girls at least) if we're not wearing the latest fashion, not matching our clothes, not gossiping about other girls, etc. If we don't have a boyfriend by a certain time then they assume we're gay and then they tease u... |
