I don't "only" understand jokes about science, but I do find them incredibly funny sometimes. I have tried to explain why a joke was funny before, but even with the explanation they never found it funny. Meanwhile I was cracking up. |

| If it's something I know a lot about, yes I can debate and very well. My issue is that the tactics used by people are just illogical. Such as "I like blue." becomes "I hate green." |

| I will be staying with family, but this isn't... good family... it's more like family that takes advantage of other family. When it comes to my sexuality, most people are able to tell I'm gay after some time, and now a lot of them. Then you have to take into account that you don't even have to be ga... |

| Sounds like quite an opportunity. GG gramma? Not many people even get to meet a great grandparent as an adult. And a chance to visit Jamaica. Sounds fantastic! Having said that, is there a realistic risk of hate crime against you? Are you obviously gay? If you can put up with the discomfort of hidi... |

| So my mother is going to visit my great great grandmother and she wants to see me, she's turning 100. Now, I understand this; however, this is going to be in Jamaica, a quite homophobic country, and I am gay and am quite worried about that. I have to be very conscious of all my actions while I am th... |

| I am overly empathetic. If a person is upset or sad and is near me I feel upset or sad but I don't know what to say or what to do and it overwhelms me and I just can't be around that. So I appear stone hearted because of that. My friend told me a while ago that someone had cancer and I instantly fel... |

| I used to wear glasses. My issues are mostly minor so I don't need glasses to function usually. My night time vision sucks though. Street lamps and car lights all Starburst with likes that streak very far. Everything is so intense and it gives me a headache. I also see double moons, double headlamps... |

| Having a close NT friend or partner is often good as they urge new experiences for those on the spectrum. They get us to do new things that we're uncomfortable with get us to talk to people we don't want to talk to and usually that is a good thing. |

| My own world is not like a dream world or a made up fantasy world. It is like zoning out thinking about and analyzing things. This is what I always thought of as daydreaming. I call it my own world because I am not engaged with the real world while I am inside my head, other than perhaps staring at... |

| You should take the opposite approach. Instead of looking at jobs and seeing if it matches your skills, you hold figure out your skills then find the job to match it. You need to list all your strengths. Unfortunately the way or minds work we think of our weakness and do not like to brag about ours... |

Most of the jobs I read I end up not applying because it just doesn't seem like something I can do, especially when it requires me being social all the time. It would be nice to end up with a... |

If they're overt, like really overt.
So this quiz isn't good for me.
I have seen these pictures before and I don't really "know" them I just remember the answers lol. So I got a fair amount of them just based off my memory (about 12)
