| On the contrary, I feel those emotions intensely enough that it creates a kind of numbness. It's not pleasant, but it's better than panic. |

| Not often. If I act serious and busy, people seldom bother me about minor things like my expression. I smile for pictures but it's usually forced. |

| Half physical and half emotional. I was small for my age and viewed as an easy target, plus I acted "weird" and few of the other kids stood up for me. (I'll never forget the ones who did, however.) I started picking my own fights with the bullies. Making a nuisance of myself seemed to take... |

I've only had to wear masks for short periods until now, but starting tomorrow I will have to wear them to work. They're stuffy and uncomfortable. They might improve my looks, but I'm not looking forward to the experience.  |

| It's not universal, but yes, I have been officially diagnosed with autism and I do experience contagious yawning. When a friend or family member yawns, I am usually quick to follow. |

| Even as a kid I disliked Barney and Friends. I felt the same way about Teletubbies and The Wiggles, although I wasn't a kid anymore by the time they came along. My favorites were Reading Rainbow because it had an appealing host and encouraged basic literacy, and Shining Time Station because it blend... |

| The closest thing to a truly obscure movie I've seen recently is Blonde Ice, a low-budget 1948 noir film about a psychopathic femme fatale played by Leslie Brookes. It's not completely forgotten, though, since it was released on DVD multiple times. For those of you who do watch a lot of movies, I ha... |

| I don't know about everyone else, but I've attempted to learn multiple other languages and failed. If a video isn't narrated or at least subtitled in English, I'm most likely not going to watch it. Unless it's a music video; then all bets are off. |

| No, I don't have any problems with calling people "sir" or "ma'am." Those words come in handy when I do not know somebody's name, or do not know them well enough to be comfortable using their name, or am addressing a customer at various jobs. |
