CLOSE ENOUGH
I mean what I say, no more and no less, and assume the same from you.
NDs, however, seem to be consistently imprecise and vague and just assume everyone'll correctly understand what they meant, or at least close enough. |

| I don't really know what qualifies as "gifted" with respect to intelligence. It is easier for me to think of someone as being "gifted" if they have some unusually strong talent. However, if your IQ is in the top 2% of the general population then I hope you find your way into Mens... |

| Do you remember any details about the movie? On Earth? Were they children? Was it a couple of people for the whole movie or did one show-up later? How did they travel? Were there robots? Was their a war? What was life like in the city? Was the city underground? |

| I've always felt like ME. The life I was living changed as I got older. I've learned (and forgotten) things as I got older. The people and things around me got older.

The article leaves me wondering whether cats might be the effect rather than the cause.
Might people inclined toward schizophrenia be more inclined to get a cat? |

I don't have an opinion, but I do have a question.
Do you mean:
\?/\?/1 Might autistic people be more likely to forget things under stress than NT people are?
or:
\?/\?/2 Might autistic people be more likely to forget things under stress than when they are not stressed? |
