| I get obsessed if I hear a new sound and can't locate its source. Some kinds of sounds drive me crazy, even at low volume. I also have problems tuning out some sounds to focus on one, like speech. If the TV is on in the background, I find it difficult focusing on conversation. I can do it, but it ma... |

I love this, it's what I believe too. You just have to compare humanity with all the other species on this planet to come to the conclusion there is something not quite right about us. |

| The brain is part of the nervous system. From my understanding, autism are differences in functioning of the brain and nervous system, to an extent that causes difficulties with functioning in society, to a lesser or greater degree. I expect there are many different causes, just as there are many di... |

Disney has made a business decision not to employ a professional actor because that actor, who is a defacto representative of that organization, used their public platform to propagate ideas ... |

I'm frustrated and anxious about dealing with fencing contractors while trying to get a quote to have a new fence installed, I'm finding it difficult and time consuming. I'm wondering how much of my difficulties in life are cause... |

Now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction and there is push back because it has become hypocritical and discriminatory to anyone having an opinion different from extreme anti-racism. This the other side... |

I hate my user name and want to change it, but realize I can't. So I changed my nickname, and set my profile to display that. But it keeps displaying my user name.
How do I change my display name to my nickname? |

| These RNA vaccines are designed to kick your body into a dramatic immune response. People with severe allergies, pregnant people, and some other conditions are not supposed to get the vaccine at all. It is not a medication, true, but if you are very sensitive to other things, you might want to talk... |

Given you are so sensitive to medications, you should really figure out the risks of being vaccinated versus the medication you will need if you are infected with COVID. Vaccination ... |
