| I forgot to mention that I don't floss partly due to my fine motor-skills & some of my teeth are very close together despite having had braces so it's painful when the tight spaces are flossed. I do use the stick floss when I get something stuck between my teeth. It's a lot easier for me to use ... |

| This is news to me, but unless you have a compelling need to drive I'd give it a miss! I'm aware there is a connection but I think it's a lower percent of autistics. Lots of the ones who do have seizures tend to be lower functioning & have them as a kid or teen. I suspect sometimes seizures can... |

| I also keep hoping I was misdiagnosed because I keep worrying that I'm going to suddenly develop epilepsy mid-life. It's why I'm scared to drive. They often associate autism with epilepsy and I read somewhere that people with autism have a higher risk of developing epilepsy even if they never did b... |

| But in North America there is so much stigma that you're seen as a slob or a creep for not constantly keeping yourself clean. I wonder if this varies by country. I've heard a stereotype that people in a certain country are missing teeth because they don't brush & that people in another country ... |

| When you say “Open”, do you mean exclusively Poly or there’s no limit? The latter is a STD pandemic recipe. I know someone who is in exclusive three-way relationship with two bi women (lucky bastard :lol:) - that sounds fine as long they are all in it. An exclusive Poly would be as STD-proof as an ... |

| What drives me bananas is why do people name their daughter Sophia but then never use that name ever again because they always call her Sophie? WTF. Shortly after one of my cousins was born & named her parents(my aunt & uncle) started calling her by a shortened version of her middle name be... |

| I started brushing my teeth & showering a lot less after I moved in with my girlfriend. I had more of an need to do that daily when I lived with my parents because they would have complained. Plus that type of stuff was obviously more important when I was going to school, working, or looking for... |

| I would advise talking to a doc about this to better figure out what's going on or rule some things out. If this is due to anxiety perhaps taking some anxiety medication for a while would help you feel more relaxed & not have your throat clench up. If this does stop while being on anxiety medica... |

| I think it may be actually better for me to wait with searching for a life company till my planned move-out to Ireland. I'm afraid someone I'd met where I live now could possibly become a huge barrier for my plans ("Why go there?" "I don't want move abroad!", "B-but family!... |
