OK. I'm an Aspie. I don't like direct eye-to-eye contact. But I found a trick that helps!
I dyed my nose hair bright orange!
Now if I'm talking to someone I can safely look at their eyes. They're never looking at my eyes! |

We all have our good days and our bad days.
On bad days the 10 Commandments (perhaps with a few of his own) might be a manageable starting place for decision-making.
I know that on my bad days I like to keep things simple. |

| I think the Ten Commandments are likely a good starting place. Things get complicated but they would seem a straightforward starting place. Perhaps, though, as you go through life you will decide a few additional Commandments would make sense. You could have your own personal eleventh commandment, t... |

| Clearly the first two standout as being best. But, I like to watch all of something, not part of something, so I would choose to watch all of them (maybe an attribute of my A u t i s m ?) and I would enjoy them (not necessarily equally). There are rare exceptions for wanting to watch a full set of s... |

I don't know whether or not it's against the rules. I suspect it is not a good idea.
Putting a personal external e-mail address on WP?

| I've been distracted... We saw Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets [2017] in the theater and I'm not a fan. I am a military veteran and found the Major Valerian character too implausible. I don't expect majors to be that young! The movie lost me with that. I saw Flash Gordon [1980] in the t... |

| Presumably you self-referred for a reason. If so, that suggests you already had reasons for suspicion. Further researching the topic online can help you further assess whether the diagnosis makes sense. And online tests can also provide informal confirmation. ToughDiamond already mentioned one .
