| Hi! I'm not new, but I am back after a long break. I spoke to my GP today about getting a diagnosis and remembered that WP existed, so I'll see about being more active again. |

| I really hate that. When they know you're waiting, they know you're in a hurry, but carry on their conversation anyway. It just seems rude to me. |

I voted for community service/banned from pet ownership/fine.
Ideally I'd like to repeatedly punch the offender where it hurts most and throw them off a bridge, but I'm rational. |

| I'm guilty of being like Sheldon over having a "spot" on the sofa. It's not my 0,0,0,0 but I'm a creature of habit, so once I pick a spot to sit, I pretty much feel compelled to always sit there and am not comfortable sitting elsewhere. I do that too, kind of. I always sit on the stairs or the floo... |

| Anybody can write anything, and to people who don't know what they are talking about, it sounds deep and scientific. This makes them neither right nor intelligent. For instance, I know nothing about cars. Someone could write a well-written article using scientific language and sounding authoritativ... |

| I find background noise distracting, but there's something particularly off-putting about voices, as in I physically can't concentrate on what I'm doing if somebody's talking. If somebody talks while I'm reading something, the written words become totally meaningless. It's like somebody's jamming my... |

| I was running missions and mining for about six years (with breaks). Either late last year or earlier this year (I forget) I joined the Gallente militia to try to get into regular PvP, which is easily the most fun part of EVE, unless you genuinely enjoy the industrial and PvE side of things. About a... |

| This is something I have a real problem with. I don't get funny about it, I just have no idea how to respond. Everyone else seems to have an interesting answer, whereas everything in my life just seems monotonous to me when I talk about it. I also feel like I'm repeating myself a lot which grates on... |

| My main concern about a possible "cure" is that there will be a lot of pressure for Aspies to undergo treatment, and not everybody will want to. I don't want to be "cured". This is who I am, and after 25 years I've finally come to embrace that. If I were to take this "cure", I imagine I'd find mysel... |

| Reading through all these comments wore me out! People can be so fickle. I have been called rude and unsociable many times before. At work, a few people don't seem to want to talk to me. Others seem to have presumptions about me, and seem to believe I'm devoid of common sense and incapable of unders... |

| Assuming everyone else is like them seems to be a major flaw in humanity. For sure. I wear earphones at work because I can't concentrate with all the background noise. I've explained this to people, and they always says "you can't concentrate with music!" or something like that. If that were the ca... |
