It's from The Fountain, it's long and totally instrumental. It makes me feel inspired to write, and it's the song that made me want to watch the film (which I ended up loving). |

| NT here. And to be honest I feel like I am much more closely connected with my body than the majority of people. When it is even a little too cold or too hot I get very uncomfortable; when I have a small itch it must be scratched or I'll go crazy. I can't have a single lump in my mattress/blankets o... |

She just seems like she'd be a really dependable friend. I'm excited for Season 2 also. What are your theories on Discord? Have you he... |

| That is called Synesthesia (sometimes Synaesthesia). It's a rare mental condition where experiencing one sense triggers another sense as well (seeing letters of the alphabet, seeing music/sounds, etc.) I see at least some of this as separate from Synesthesia. I don't have sets of things that I perc... |

Almost every day.
I cried multiple times today (stress, and then someone on my floor was chopping onions).
I cry a lot. I can't stop myself from crying, but sometimes I try to hide it when I'm around people. |

| For instance when an NT person recently asked me about the recent riots in London and, "Didn't I think it was bad the way people just turned to criminality rather than the original protesting that it started off with?" I responded with something like, "Yes it's not good at all. It seems indicative ... |
