Yep, I watch practically everything. I don't care what it is, as long as it's good. Today, I watched a historical Renaissance drama (The Tudors) and yesterday I watched a 90s British sitcom about a hotel owner (Fawlty Towers  ). |

| I usually look at eyebrows when watching series/movies. It helps discern which emotion they're feeling and what they're trying to say. Also, it's very fun to see all the ups and downs of eyebrows. They're silly! |

I wouldn't wear make up till 8th grade (most girls in my school began in 5th) and didn't wear a bra till 7th (5th was norma... |

| It depends on the person, but I love the way I find happiness in little things like stimming or special interests. Lots of NTs don't have these types of things and some have to go to drastic measures to be happy, while I can go read about Renaissance art if I'm feeling lonely or play with my slinkie... |

For example, I can't think of our house being submerged a thousand feet underwater because it might actually happen or I can't think of a big tsunami wave rolling toward our car because it might happen (a lot of these h... |

| Yes! If it's near enough to me, I might start screaming. If it's passing me on the road while I'm in the car, I will get very, very annoyed with it. Does anyone hate the sound of trains? There's a track near my dorm and even though it's not loud, it bothers the crap out of me. So much so that if it ... |

| I don't think that's true...I love imagining things. Like you, it was one of my favourite things too. I would always right long, crazy stories. Sometimes they were even my special interest. I also like imaginative play. I did play the autistic-y way, but also enjoyed being a pirate or dragon-slayer ... |

| If I'm having a meltdown, then yes. I might also do it when very happy and alone. I hate doing it around people. I usually rock too hard, just slightly, which makes it a little bit okay to do it in public, but I try to avoid that unless I'm studying. |

| For me, it's like this: I know I've seen that person before, but where I don't know. Other times I can meet a person 10 times and never recognize them (actually happened, very embarrassing). Most of the faces don't look similar, I just don't recognize them. Sometimes, they all look alike. I can't st... |

| It's a safe haven. I can control my interest, can predict it. Unlike the real world where it's loud and bright, my interest is calming and well, interesting. If things get too tough, I go to it. I usually get into my interest pretty randomly. Like with history, I watched a historical drama and wante... |

| I guess it could be when you count how much you do it, at what intensity, and what its purpose is, but it seems like an all around "human" thing to do. I see lots of NTs and autistics do it. |
