| I can relate. I live about 15 minutes away from a hospital, so sirens are a normal part of the day. I bloody hate sirens. Every time I hear one, I suddenly feel like I'm being crushed.

| I think so. I hate being told what to do. Whenever someone tells me to do something, this is what usually happens: 1. They tell me and I forget 2 seconds later. They have to repeat themselves, much to their and my annoyance. 2. They tell me and I start to do it. But I forget some of what the person ... |

Yeah, me too. In my mind, it's all connected. The topics can seem different, but they're not really. But my conversation partners usually wind up confused. Then I do...sometimes.
Awkwardness ensues. |

.....do you find yourself changing the subjects a lot? If so, does it ever get to the point where you accidentally confuse the person you're talking to?
Thanks in advance. |

| Yeah. Seeing people cry makes me very uncomfortable. I feel sympathetic towards them, but usually not empathetic. |

| Usually, I'd have to watch a movie or TV show several times before I can fully understand it. Plus, I read spoilers and visit the forum of said piece of entertainment. It helps me understand too. |

| I supposed I am okay with having Asperger's. I don't know how to be anything or anyone else. It makes me...well me. Of course, there are things associated with AS that are bothersome sometimes. Ultimately, I like being different. I wouldn't give it up for anything. |

| Communicating online is easier for me. You have time to think about what you're going to say. Plus, I think I come across as less awkward online as opposed to IRL. |

It takes repeated readings or viewing to full understand. |
