| I think I have a built in alarm clock or something, usually I'll wake up 5 minutes before the alarm goes off, regardless of when it's set. As long as I get about 6 hours of sleep I can do this. Any less increases the chance of needing the alarm clock. |

| I do it a lot, I find it calms me down and lets me think through things more clearly. I try not to do it in public but sometimes I'll whisper. When I have the urge to do it it's hard to stop it. I used to have imaginary friends as a kid and I think that translated into this over the years. It's kind... |

| I used to be very good at math when I was a kid, and I can still do basic math pretty easily. I do most of it in my head. Had to force myself to show my work because teachers thought I was cheating :( I'm a bit rusty when it comes to trig and algebra but that's from not using it for so many years. I... |

| Especially as regards video games and science-related stuff, you have much in common with many people on this site. Haha I'm glad, to be honest I'm not sure if I have aspergers, but I came here because did some research about it. I've felt different my whole life, not really knowing why, and a lot ... |

| I have a 3DO, it's actually a pretty fun console. I got it years later for like 80 bucks off of kijiji and it came with like 80 games, most of which are like interactive movies and educational games. There are a few gems though, such as Crash N Burn (racing game where you could shoot the crap out of... |

I love music, hockey, video games, science related stuff (especially about space and earth). Agreed, it's safer and much more productive imo. |

| I never really felt bad about being anti-social, but I used to feel like I was missing out by being anti-social. I wanted to go to parties and be one of the cool kids growing up, even though I always felt different from them. Now that I'm older, I've been to a few parties and what not, had a girlfri... |

| I find that once I become interested in something, I need to learn as much as I can about it. For example, when I was a kid I got into Pokemon, and it became an obsession for many many years. I knew everything about every pokemon all the way up to the 5th generation, which was something like 649 dif... |
