| Like most people on the spectrum, I do have SPD to a certain degree, and I thought this was all just part of it, but upon researching, it's apparently not. Here's what happens to me: Not filtering sensory input: It's as if there's a toll booth basket on my head, but no coin sorter beneath it. All ex... |

| Is it possible to have a mix of aloof type and active but odd in the same person? Meaning that severe autism makes you distant and cut off from other people (in extreme cases the person is not even aware of the presence of others), but you still are able to act kind of extroverted/impulsive/talkati... |

| This might have already been asked, but just HOW do you communicate with eyes? Seriously, it's confusing the heck out of me. Do you watch the eyebrows? The lines near the eyes? Is it the entire facial structure? I can 'read' mouth and whole-face expressions (thick eyebrows are easy), but eyes are j... |

| I'm not sure I understand. Is this at your place of employment, an organization, or a social group? Any answer would likely be dependent on the environmental circumstances and your motives for remaining there. All of the above - church too!

| I'm seeing a pattern with the whole clumsiness thing. Has anybody considered that perhaps it has to do with participatory motor control?
