| I used to have a nice expensive pair that shifted tint from clear to dark in response to lighting conditions. They weren't rated for driving or sunbathing, but they made staring at screens and going outside much more pleasant compared to my normal prescription glasses. |

Can't say I'm qualified to comment on matters of fashion, but I know stupid when I see it.
What's the fancy coat for? Keeping the blouse dry in inclement weather? A little parasol would also come in handy to stop make-up running in the rain. |

Confused to why aforementioned forum exists. What's it for, do people really congregate to discuss their lack of belief?
Assume it's a honey-pot for easily baited Theists until proven otherwise. |

^ each to their own. I don't mind getting my hands dirty if there's a genuine medical emergency, but I find it difficult to maintain any kind of arousal if there's a... butcher's dustbin to contend with.
Better to ask.  |

| If you ask a girl to have sex the answer is always no, it's equivalent to asking "are you are slut, if so can we f**k?" Erm.. If unsure, you should ask. At certain times of the month you might get a 'no' for good reasons, but that leaves three consecutive weeks (plus change) of positive answers (if... |

| You won't be alone. None of you will. At least, not if I can help it. If somebody needs help, somebody to talk to, advice, whatever... I'll help. We're all autistic, or close enough to it. I firmly believe we should help each other, almost like a family. A strange, introverted, far-flung family... ... |

Don't worry about fitting in. Making friends shouldn't be your primary objective.
You'd be off to a good start though, assuming everyone has a common interest in canines  |

| Nope. Haven't seen my mother since I was 14, she's been effectively dead to me for over half my entire life. Lost my old man a few years ago, and even though he was loved very much and missed terribly I'm lucky enough to have a bunch of decent siblings. Being the oldest, I call dibs on dying first. ... |

Evolution usually involves some advantage that increases the likelihood of reproduction.
Somebody PM me when NTs become a minority group, then we can talk evolution. |

You've got not one but two parents you feel connected to, that makes you a richer man than many. I'm not a parent, but I imagine the loss of a child is devastating and unnatu... |

Eating is a good comfort exercise.
Munching large quantities of sugar before bed won't help you sleep, but there's a reason we give kids icecream and sweets when they're stressed and hurt and upset. Works for adults too, good medicine.
Unless you're diabetic of course |
