| I would say it depends on WHO it is.......what I think is.......Aspies need EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE and that might be why it is HARD to find someone.....because extraordinary people are RARE......BUT THEY DO!! !! ! EXIST. Not just in a 'love' sense....but in a friendship sense as well......I think Aspi... |

| I would NEVER have been ABLE to be a 'dater'...... I either love someone or I don't. And I really was a 'lover' type, but NEVER EVER in a million years a 'dater' type. I don't know the meaning of flirt as a behavior. I just AM. I know how to be nice, but I think flirting is weird behavior. If I flir... |

| Sit by myself, escape to a 'restroom'. Sometimes my brain physically can't take stimuli so I have a kind of narcolepsy. My brain gets tired easily. I HATE THIS REALITY about myself!! !! ! |

| I think your 'theory of mind' is more reflective of the truth......less filled with delusions needing to be egotiscially DEFENDED moment to moment. And so if one could 'see' minds.......I think neurotypicals minds contain a lot more *DEFENSES AGAINST REALITY*.....if you know what I mean....you might... |

I think to myself that whoever designed the packaging didn't care about who might be opening it, or the difficulty they might have......you should NOT have to get a knife or sissors to open the bag inside the box of cereal, for instanc... |

I could actually feel 'in touch' with activity that took place over a century ago, down to the kind of clothes the people were wearing. This usually happens whe... |

However, people may misread you and think you're being a snob. If you want to be warmer, try starting small. Smile more. Greet people. Ask them how their day... |

You Are 24% Spoiled I checked that one, and actually that's the only one I checked, hence I got four percent.........and the car was actually gently used, and not new.
