My friend is making this movie, a story about Ulysses from The Odyssey, like a sequel.
He wants to make one of the Greek gods show autism characteristics. Any idea which one makes the most sense from a character perspective?

| I'm angry that the news will focus on this incident and ignore other stories. It's an unfortunate incident, but it's one of many, and I hate when the news focuses entirely on one story for days on end. It's violence porn, not journalism. |

| Much like Autism Spectrum Disorders, Eating Disorders are really complicated, and so many medical professionals don't understand them. For many people having an ED is less about losing weight and more about being able to control at least one thing in their life. Rather than ratting her out, which co... |

| You pretend to not have something. A lighter for a cigarette, change for a dollar, etc. Then ask your target for assistance in the matter. Perfect, none weird way to have a short conversation. Then make into a long conversation. I have issues with lying. I'll spend the entire conversation apologizi... |

| When I used to go in bars I started playing backgammon with people :lol: At least then you don't have to socialize too much. But it depends of bars. Why don't you just find some people on the internet and meet them in real life. It is much easier. I've tried that. It never seems to lead to expanded... |

| I find it is easier to get talking to people at a gig. Everyone is there either because they already like the band, or have heard of them and this is their first time seeing them live, or simply like live music and have wandered in on the off-chance. So there is something to talk about already. Plu... |

In my neighborhood there are a lot of bars, but I really don't know how to make friends in that sort of social situation where you walk in and there are a bunch of people drinking, some alone and some in groups, usually not a lot of women alone.
