It bothers me that all the folks in mediveal movies have such. . .perfect teeth.
I agree.
They didn't have dentists or modern toothbrushes, but they also didn't eat much if any sugar, and they ate quite a bit of coarse, fibrous food that automatically cleaned their teeth while chewing (and such coarse food took a lot of chewing). Also, not so much acid food like oranges, soda, coffee. Actually, I cant think of any major acid foods that they _did_ eat, though I might have missed something.
I wonder whether any anthropologist/archaeologist has studied the statistical amount of tooth decay in medieval skulls from graves?
You missed lots. Fungal infections from grain, insects in wheat chaff. Grit from the grinding mills was very hard on their teeth. Beer breath. I could go on.
you might be an aspie if you can correct and aspie that can correct an aspie that knows more than NTs about 1000 year old peasant trivia.

This one might be too strange for this string. When I was a child, I assigned a digit to each of the members of my family. My father was 1. My mother was 2. My grandmother was 3. And I was 4. It was obvious to me that this made perfect sense in a descriptive way. No one else seemed to understand.
Oh, my! I'm not doing "well" here at all! I started reading this topic from the beginning, thinking I'd read all the way through before I added anything, so that I wouldn't be talking about something that everyone had done to death four years ago, and I just can't keep my mouth (or keyboard) shut! So many memories! I love you all-- never thought I'd find even one or two people who were much like me, much less a whole slew of you!
So, anyway, when I was in second or third grade arithmetic, I had personalities assigned to all ten digits-- 8 was a mean man, for example: today I'd call him a sadist, and 7 was a sort of "helpless heroine" adult woman. The operators were all actions, and all taken together the problem made a story-- and it wouldn't necessarily come out with a "happy ending", or people doing moral things, and I kept trying to make them come out right and still make arithmetic sense. I don't remember ever telling anyone else what I was trying to do with my arithmetic problems: I probably knew they'd think I was crazy.

All very true...especially the high school ones because they are the most applicable to myself at this stage in life.

Your nickname with your friends is "Aspie".
You don't want to tell your parents (or anyone who would fuss or get upset over it) that you have Asperger's. You feel as if your telling them also tells them that you want help for it, when really all you want is for them to know and be done with it.
You post on WrongPlanet.
You envy Rain Man.
You've been described as many differents things by your teachers, but none of them are true. (One teacher called me spoiled because I didn't answer his vague questions in front of the class, I was 11 at the time.)
You can converse with anyone, albeit uncomfortably. They're all the same, after all.
You're known to be childish and immature and also for your ability to stun people with your incredible insight. I went on talkback radio and discussed a topic that means very much to me, road safety. I called my friends telling them I was going to call and to listen in, because they'd be interested. Afterwards, they sent me messages saying they had never heard me be so normal, and that I actually sounded like a "semi-sane human being". This was all in good humour, but I could tell they were genuinely impressed with what I was saying and how I came across, like they had succeeded in teaching me social skills (and they have).

You watch Community and agree with Jeff that Abed has Asperger's. You continually point out all of Abed's aspie traits.
You spend most of your time during break reading Labyrinth of Evil and your mom keeps nagging that she wants to spend more time with you.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA-MEN!
I see the little profile at the side doesn't say my age-- I'll have to dig around and find out how to fix that. But I'm 65 years old, and I've spent 63 of those years wondering how to find My People!
Has anyone else read the Zenna Henderson stories of The People? They're almost as old as I am, and I first read them in the magazines when they were new. "Wrong Planet" is _so_ the right name for this place!
Someone said "...if your friends tell you that you talk like a robot or a computer or Mr. Spock" The lady who diagnosed me wrote on her report "...academic conversation style..."
