I was surprised a bit with just how much there is to know about it. Some CBD makers will have recommended dosing - others, such as your more backyard CBD mak... |

| So I'm pretty sure I'm autistic. This comes after weeks of research and reflection, months of background curiosity, and decades of vague awareness that it's somewhat correlated with the parts of society that I inhabit (computer people, geeks, and other misfits). I've made an appointment with my old... |

| I can be, but I wouldn't say I'm asocial generally. It'd probably be more accurate to say I'm selectively social. Various things have changed or morphed for me; motivation, reasons, wants etc. But selectively social has remained the best umbrella definition over all of it. My current position is one... |

| Growing up I tended to go through spurts of being able to learn and not being able to absorb new information. I often had a delay and was often behind other kids for awhile with new material. But then seemingly out of nowhere it'd 'click' and I'd surge ahead. This would typically repeat with each ne... |

Narcissism 1.4 9%
Machiavellianism 1.9 17%
Psychopathy 0.4 0%
I actually thought it a couple would be higher. When I think of my darker side and the things that were asked in the test, they really don't match up though. So I really don't think it was able to even tap into it. |

| Many cats may display what we would classify as ASD traits, so in that reguard you could say that they have Autism. However, that's making a judgement based on human standards. They are not human, what we would call Neurotypical and Neurodiverse means nothing in the world of cats or any other animal... |

Father's side is mostly Hispanic that traces to Spain and one line onward to the Canary Islands. There's also a few infusions of Comanche.
Mother's side is German Swiss, French, and a a little lesser Swedish & English. |
