| I'm quite sarcastic, but I can rarely tell if someone is being sarcastic with me. If I know them well, it's easier for me to figure it out. |

| I'm not NT, but I really like happy music. Music deeply affects my mood, so I can't listen to darker music without getting in a funk for the rest of the day. I HATE repetitive and/or mindless music though. That's why I'm not a fan of most of the music that my generation enjoys. I'm too analytical fo... |

| I think some things can definitely be harder for higher-functioning people. If someone were to look at me, they would just assume that I was a normal 19 year old female. If they tried to carry on a short, superficial conversation with me, they would assume I was a) shy, b) arrogant, or c) a jerk. If... |

| Oooh, I like this topic. Top 3 places you would like to travel? 1. Germany. Most of my ancestors came from there, and I would love to visit it someday. 2. England, specifically London and Liverpool. I know it's pathetic, but I want to see Abbey Road and where the Beatles grew up. :oops: 3. The moon.... |

| "I know, right?" Why do you need verification that you know? (This might not be on topic, but that phrase annoys me.) "You're too quiet/serious/shy/uptight." "Just change your mood...it's not that hard." Um, yes it is. I don't enjoy being in bad moods. If I could get out of them, I would. I promise.... |

| For a while I was collecting cow stuff, like stuffed cows and little plastic cows. Now I collect Beatles stuff. I don't really monologue, because I've realized that no one cares. Mostly because they always talk over me or interrupt me when I start talking about the Beatles, or whatever my interest i... |

| I have accidentally injured myself multiple times because of my ridiculous clumsiness. Thankfully, my bones are REALLY strong, so I haven't broken a bone yet. I sprained my ankle by standing up once. I run into something at least twice an hour. It doesn't help that I forget I have legs/arms/a torso,... |

| I had the same "Eureka!" moment when I read about dyscalculia as I had when I read about Asperger's Syndrome. I don't have an official diagnosis, however, so I'm not going to say that I have it. It does explain all of my struggles with math, though. Numbers have always fascinated me, because, logica... |
