| I think that it does make a difference if certain behaviour is the result of some condition (like autism) or not. |

| Unfortunately I smoke daily. I used to smoke occasionally (when I had much stress) but in September 2017 I had so much stress and smoking helped so much that I got addicted and smoke even on calm days (though on such days I smoke just one or two). I hope to quit soon but I'm noy trying yet. |

For me currently success would mean to be able to keep a dog. I would have to be independent enough, have enough space, money and perspective for future 10-15 years that I would be sure that I could keep it.
I'm far from it unfortunately. |

| No. But when I was a kid I liked to be completely naked. Wherever I went with my mother, I took all my clothes off first. |

Electronic music, the "Berliner Schule" type specifically, especially Klaus Schulze. His music is SO... compatible with my brain, this is unbelieveable.

| Listen to what they are talking about, and contribute when you hear something familiar. If you are welcome, they will encourage you to join in. Disengaging... Well, say something along these lines: ''it was nice talking to you, see you later...'' I agree but sometimes it might get awkward when they... |
