| What are the first steps in learning and practicing good social skills? In what order? Are there any specific skill I must learn and practice first as priority? A little bit about my skills...I never became interested in sports or after-school activities all throughout school. All I had were casual ... |

| I like seeing perky, bouncing of the walls type girls. Looks-wise, while I adore blonde hair/blue eyes/cute face shape the most, it goes case-by-case, saying some certain combination of looks look hot together. |

| Hey, what do you think would happen to society if humanity decided to voluntarily control their own internet habits/time spent online or restricted it? I know the internet is unstoppable as far as I know, but assuming that still, and people just decided to use it less often, what can the effect be? |

While I don't know exactly how I can word this, I felt somewhat as an oddball throughout school. I never had many friends, neither did I do any sports or after-school activities. |

| Why do you guys think that whenever I watch a video on my laptop, it mutes after a few moments of playing until I hit the volume buttons on the keyboard again? It only started doing this. Mine, for the purpose of specification is a Dell Inspiron model 1545 whose warranty is expired. |

| This is my first time I am doing volunteer work proper as a potential intern. It will start April 3rd and it's an ad agency. The volunteer work I did do previously was part of my IEP curriculum, so I don't consider it 'proper' volunteering. |

| I know they (ie fire trucks, etc.) are there to tell you "Out of my way!" for good reason, with their blaring sirens and horns, but since I don't even drive yet, I find it hard to imagine being with one on the road. Are they really that distracting to someone as an aspie? What are your experiences? |

Sonic the hedgehog, because he can accelerate very fast. He is arguably the most likeable video game characters in the 1990s. |

| I was only talking about how IMO there is also a thing like 'negative' progress. Have you ever felt, for example, that all print books will become obsolete someday? I don't know, but if people say I should adapt, and if I refuse to, it must be a spectrum thing. Go figure. |

| Why is there anything wrong with one being anti-progress? I mean, every time one rants against progress in technology, putting the print industry and stuff in trouble, the viewpoint is seen as not compelling enough. Sometimes, I feel people want the certain industries out of business. Please don't s... |
