Well if it's from a pharmacist he's probably got mixed up and given you aspirins. Actually that's a cruel exaggeration, but they do make mistakes. |

| I was instrumental in the wise selection of guitar picks, dried brewer's yeast, and a kitchen timer from Amazon. That's on top of the feats I reported earlier. It's been a slack day. Last night I also achieved a good, long night's sleep which I think might have helped bring my blood pressure down to... |

| I knew there must be somebody in the universe who shared my attitude to breakfast-making. 8) Many will scoff, but it comes in handy when you've got to leave the house early and you get up a bit late. I'd be able to shave a bit off my target time if only I had a proper toaster and a proper cooker (an... |

| In my science job, a requirement for upgrading was that you had "abnormal mental concentration for at least two thirds of the working day." Not exactly perfectionism, but it helps. And they also appreciated people who worked to high standards. Science is meticulous like that. |

Right, you don't need all the traits to qualify for ASD, and I expect some of us don't have special interests any more than NTs do. |

| I don't think relationships are getting harder to do, overall. It's a very complicated subject and there are all kinds of things that can make it harder or easier. I know they got rid of relationships in Brave New World and did test tube babies instead, but that was just the government's idea, and t... |

Yes I'd say that qualifies as eccentric. 
What's the thing about how it manifests? Is that about it interfering with normal life and survival? |

| Not a lot, unless you count posting on WP and thus helping others in their quest for support and enlightenment. And some might argue otherwise. I did make the breakfast but it took me 11 minutes instead of my target of 10, so I don't really count that as anything to crow about. I know most people ta... |

You answered your own question. I suppose I'll have to spell it out or you won't understand:
Not only was your remark not insulting, it wasn't aimed at the person above you. so you failed twice. That's what you need a cure for, among many other grievous ailments. |
