Yes, I do.
I also have trouble understanding UK accents on tv/movies and my first language is English. I can't watch the shows generally. |

| This one particular lady says, "Hi, real name " and usually walks right past me unless she has something specific to say or ask. I just realized I never say her name. I just say hi back. Sometimes she doesn't look at me even if I am helping. I like the way she greets me the best. I also just realize... |

One is self sacrifice and also things like mutual aid and the golden rule. You spread out values, beside... |

| I saw on someone psoting on anotger site. What i think i understood him saying is that the feeling of love is a genetic programed response and what i could understand was that he was then skeptical of caring for others if it put his life in any sort of danger, risk, detriment, or altruism. At least,... |

| Well, i used the dictionary. It isn't simply feelings but the feelings would come from following, or failing, a value system. So if one has an internalized value system of love, meaning will to the good of the other, or goodwill, then failing that you would feel bad. Accomplishing or following that ... |

| I don't think it is that they are saying they are all morally perfect. Being compared to a sociopath is saying you don't have, or severly lack, conscience, remorse, morals, things of that nature. To take issue with that is not getting on a moral high horse but saying one does have morals. How else c... |

| My counselor told me that people on the autism spectrum tend to be more ethical. I forget how he said it now that i am trying to quote. He told me he was not saying that non-autistics are not ethical or that all autistics are ethical. He told me it is probably from love of consistency. I think thats... |

| I don't particularly like the idea of adapting to things as they are (I have not done well either) I think there is something positive to be said about the tension between the is and what you think ought or should be. I think it'd be better to try to change things at the indvidual human level at the... |

It is called aspergers disorder, and there's autistic disorder, and autism spectrums disorder. So there is the word disorder which is sayin... |

| Perseveration can include not going anywhere. I can't say I fully understand what it all perseveration means though. And I am not saying this is what the OP is doing or not. I have no idea. |

| My counselor talks to me about perseveration all the time and he's told me I am definitely not schizophrenic without me having asked. Although, he doesn't mention perseveration with me repeating things in my head. But I do that too and I don't really find that stressful exactly. When I am more relax... |

I got lost in it and don't understand what heist saying but I find the psychadelics interesting to read about. He gets really new age at some points that is becomes very hard for me. ... |
