That is interesting. o.0
It might be to our advantage... Wouldn't we have more room for knowledge that way? |

| That is just it, no one wants to lose what makes them them. If I could just have something that would 'cure' my social problems, I might be willing to take it. I am even reluctant to take my Zoloft every day. I don't want something that will alter my mind in such a way that I am no longer myself. |

| I talk to myself all the time, it helps me figure out how to handle something. My English teacher always talked to himself, in class and walking down the halls. You could hear just about every word he said. :lol: He would say that my classmates were making him go crazy. I do zone out quite a bit.. S... |

Silverware scratching against a plate or tapping against teeth... It makes me shudder.
Someone glugging down their drink. All those continuing swallows make me sick. |

| I think my hand-eye coordination is pretty good, but I can't do many sports. I am pretty good at shooting hoops and can sometimes hit the tennis ball. But if it involves using my whole body/feet, - like skateboarding or roller skating - I am doomed to fail/fall down. ^^; But if it involves using my ... |

Otherwise I feel they won't understand what I'm talking about. But from my experiences, they don't care to... |

| That is unacceptable. Period. I know how schools can treat kids. They don't care because they just want that money they get for every kid that sits there each day. (And no, I am not saying every school, but there are a lot like that). I hope that kid's parents do something about this. :x This remind... |

| It's not as simple as them just "knowing what you look like", it's what they do with that information. Suddenly, "far out" and "unrealistic" books like 1984 begin to look like a distinct possibility, and this is a major step towards that terrifying reality. I dont see no problem with these things. ... |

I had an interest in model trains at one point when I was little. I love the ones that go on the track. I have one that makes smoke as it goes. ^^
My 2 or 3 yr old cousin loves Tomas and can name all the trains he owns.  |

I can only see one square foot of my floor. Nobody in my house will clean. I'm the only Aspie (my mom has never cleaned and my lil sister doesn't know how/ need that responsibility). I just don't understand how. I will learn one day, though.
If reminded, I will vacuum. ^^ |

I rock back and forth when I listen to music. I don't even realize I'm doing for a few minutes.
I guess you could say it is a form of dancing.
If you'll notice that when Jews are praying at the wailing wall they rock as well. I think they do it even when not at the wall. |
