Just saw this, I haven't been on WP in days if not maybe even a couple of weeks.
I hope you are feeling better and I am glad they replaced the cast! Thinking of you, I don't pray but I am sending "caring" vibes  |

| yes it happens to me too and then also I switch to other languages for the same words, then I think of the latin root, then I think of words sounding like it but who do not mean anything similar, it can go on and on and it is a waste of time, but I can't help it. |

| I either look down, which is my fav, or I look at store fronts, shop signs, trees, cars etc or if I am feeling very uncomfortable I look at my phone as if to see if I have a text. As somebody else said, the best is to look down in order to calculate walking and not trip etc I walk pretty OK but I am... |

| I love making lists, they help me get organized and plan things, assess people and situations and much more. That's why on of my most fav books ever is The Pillow Book (Makura no Soshi) by Sei Shonagon, it's full of lists! Her lists have themes such as “Rare Things,” “Elegant Things,” "Hateful Thing... |

| I think that Keanu Reeves is an aspie, tho I don't think he is a confirmed one. My suspicion or my "diagnosis" became stronger when I saw him on a British TV Show, The Graham Norton show. He was describing what he did on New Year's and he started saying that he basically fell asleep on his couch and... |

| Yes I visualise also, like when somebody says "he kicked the bucket", I see a foot wearing a red sock and a brown shoe, standing on a bucket. When it comes to the can of worms, I see a can, the lid lifted as if it has been removed with a can opener, full of small white worms. When it comes to strang... |

| In my case I didn't feel any empathy for the people who were killed, I did tho try to logically make myself realize that what happened was causing grief to their relatives. I can't just mentally connect with the idea of those people dying. On the other hand, I feel a lot of empathy when innocent peo... |

| I believe that facial expressions and body language are slightly changing from decade to decade, same as fashion, trends, slang etc Example: watch a comedy from the 50's and then a comedy from 2012, and you will notice that expressions have changed. Do you agree with me? Do you see a difference? I t... |
