| From a sensory standpoint. I don't see how anyone on the spectrum can stand to be in a casino. Especially near the slot machines. All the flashing lights and music/noises. Did you know that all slot machines that play music, do so in the c-major scale, or key of "C"? That a lot like painti... |

| I think it depends on the crowds and the venue. I went to an Owl City concert in Seattle and that was one concert I really enjoyed. It was in an auditorium with seating and the house lights were off. The auditorium was less than 1/4 full and everyone had their own seat and we all had plenty of perso... |

| I'm 47 now and I can tell you that the 70's and 80's weren't all that much better. Yes, we had special ED. But all they did was put you in a corner of the room and just expected you to do your schoolwork without any help. |

| Why algebra? Simple, it lets you script out a series of math problems into an easy to manage flow. For example, let's say that I want to add 3 plus 5 and then take the answer from that and subtract 2 and then take the answer from that and multiply it by 3. Or I can just write it like this. x = 3 + 5... |

It's amazing how much money you can save when you don't have to pay child support or having to raise a family. You're doing very well.

| Try to be content in life. Really! You're not the only one who had problems in life. Sometimes we just let our social problems get the best of us when we should realize that that's just a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the problems in the world. |

| Sensory sensitivities. Every time I enter into a social or crowded environment. I'm getting bombarded with so much stimuli/information that my mind just can't sort it out in real time. It's like my brain just had a buffer overrun. |

I would find it irritating too. Of course, YouTube makes it easy to do because of the scrubber bar on the player. Bu... |

| Because I have lousy auditory processing, it helps me a lot to read their lips while someone is talking. I've never really tried to read someone's lips without hearing them. Maybe I should try it out. I do the same thing sometimes. Except my problem is trying to pick someone's voice out of a crowd,... |
