| This is all personal experience, nothing too scientific, just my two cents. I understand the sensitively to sounds and sights, but what about touch, taste, and smell. What is so bothersome about light touches, but not deep pressure? I'd say, same reason as how tickling is more bothersome than scratc... |

| Your post seems to be emotional in nature, so this may not be the information you're looking for... but as I understand it: Firstly, rules don't exist for their own sake, they have a reason to be there, in the case of social rules they are a formal set of protocols which people adopt to ease the exc... |

Yea, I remember reading some article that said there are visible differences on the MRI scans.
I wanna add, though, that MRI scans are prone to interpretation, and a lot of confirmation bias is often involved... |

| Well, it's possible to be MISdiagnosed at least. I'm no expert in neurology, but autism as far as I know concerns structures in various specific sections of the brain, so brain damage cannot truly make you autistic. |

| I myself cannot detect arrogance in others, but as far as I understand it: If you talk to a person about one of that person's shortcomings that you don't have, and that person cares about it, you are perceived as being arrogant. For example: if a rich person says to a poor person "Ah... if only you ... |

| Yes, absolutely. Aside from a stuttering problem I have, the concepts in my mind are also quite disconnected from language. Sometimes I simply cannot explain things, and if I explain something that isn't very simple, I'll sometimes start to garble my sentences up to a point where I just think "STOP.... |

Unless it's a cold winter, I always have it very short for practical reasons. Takes less effort (and shampoo) to wash and dry.
I always used to have the barber cut it short, but since not so long I actually get even shorter buzz cuts. |

| It's just a way of casual speech. I do it too and I don't see it as problematic. It should only really be an issue if you also do it in more formal situations, or towards people who are explicitly against swearing... http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs30/f/2008/053/3/3/Cid_Highwind_Motivator_by_Kerwyn2112... |
