| I get "random" full body twitches now. I think its my central nervous system healing from a post traumatic stress disorder. I guess it looks like the "someone walked over my grave" type shivers from the outside, but from the inside it feels like I have been thumped by a pillow, or a hicup without th... |

| I have to observe and question everything constantly like a child. Some other ancient Aspie once said "the unobserved life is not worth living". Some people, as they get older, become more presumptuous, because they have "life experience" and can easily "work out" situations. It worked once, and it ... |

| 1. You got a pay rise, rather than a cut. 2. You got to keep your job. In my experience this means you did not make anyone feel too threatened. Remember, the only way NTs can interpret the meritorious things you do are as part of a social status game. You may have ensured the company is going well, ... |

A portion of your test population would be rendered crippled or seriously at risk of death as drugs like ventolin and synthetic insulin would not be available. Gl... |

| Tasmania eh? I am an Aspie rotting away in Adelaide, and often think about Tassie. I love to build things and do so regularly. I also weld, mill, computer design, machine, synthesize, invent. Last project has been a mobile mine recovery unit for recovering gold from old shafts. Its hard work, danger... |

| My answer to this is to play along with their agenda. Their agenda is to get as much as possible for themselves of everything possible. Give everyone more help than they ask for or expect. Be good and generous. Be selfless. This keeps everyone happy. Don't worry about being used, this is not an issu... |

| Pretending to be NT for me would be a very scary proposition.

| "All right?" used to cause me considerable distress when I moved to the UK. They use it there all the time with some chirpy intonation as a generic form of greeting. In the thousands of times it was said to me I had to go through a fumbled process of working out what the question of "all right" was ... |

| Why do people lie so much? Because they are asleep, and it is difficult to sleep standing up. If people were awake, they would have no reason to lie. There is more than enough content in truth for truth to serve every purpose. But to see the truth, you need to be awake. If your not awake, you need t... |

| If what you think of yourself is based on what you think other people think of you, everything is going to get shallow and f***ed up. A majority of NTs are completely consumed by this. Actual morality and ethics become irrelevant when you have someone next to you agreeing with your actions, but they... |

I tried to get it checked out many times by doctors because it started to emit crunching noises, but they could find nothing unusual. A few days before I turned 30, I wanted to get to the bottom of what it was,... |
