| Question for NTs: Is it actually socially inappropriate to laugh at one's own joke and if it is why is it? In social skills groups ,as a child/ young teenager ,one thing taught was not to laugh at one's own joke but I see socially adept NTs doing this a lot. Is it something to do with the social co... |

| And how did you know that this wasn't just one crazy guy but the normal, accepted situation in society? I didn't know what was normal. But I'm guessing that from that experience, I created an unsaid rule in my mind that landlords are authority figures and have power over renters, to the extent that... |

| Thank you very much, DenvrDave. Did you know this rule of landlords in my example because you had a bad experience in that regard, though? No bad experiences with landlords.

| How do NTs learn certain "unsaid" rules, such as "you behave more compliantly to someone in a position of authority over you, such as a landlord? I only recently discovered that customarily a landlord has more authority than a tenant. I had always thought we were equal, seeing as I receive a roof a... |

| From an aspie to the NT's. What does it mean (particularly when put in a dating site profile) "I work hard and play harder". What is the sentiment/attitude that the person wants to convey - for me it just turns me right off and leads me to think the person saying this thinks too much of herself. It... |

I'm talking about the stimming, the monotone speech, the poor eye contact in conversation, the sensitivity to certain... |
