| Only sometimes. If someone has a narrow escape from sonething, I tend to laugh a little as a sort of "Haha you had a close one there" sort of thing. It is a way of reacting to the shock but it isn't the same as normal laughter. Yet some people do not understand this and have been angry tha... |

| I may call you Dan_Diagnosed :P Is fascinating.. I may find I have the same as you. I just don't know. Did you get shutdowns? This is the main reason what I have been trying to trace for all these years. I called them energy loss as I would suddenly go weak and limp and would usually end up on the f... |

We just call it tarmac.
It was funny when the "I am not a robot" rhing came on and it said to click on the crosswalks. I was thinking "What's a crosswalk?" I know now. They are those white squares or rectangles on the roads. |

Roads. Haha. I was puzzled.. I was thinking "You drive on the pavements?" (Sidewalks to you!) "That's why you need soft suspension!"  |

| Maybe, you are not diagnosed with Asperger's but you still may be on the spectrum with Asperger traits. That was my gut feeling due to his description... But it could be anxiety that shares some traits... The great thing is he now knows what it is which will be a huge step forward to knowing how to... |

| It is interesting. From what you've said though, there must be similarities witn anxiety and autism. I spoke tree words I copied from the TV at a very early age but I then didn't speak at all until about the average age for learning to speak. Something I have known from childhood all the way up to m... |

The newer front wheel drive Volvos tend to be stiff. It was the big older rear wheel drive Volvos which were nice and soft. Like driving armchairs.
Here in the UK the pavements are the bits that people walk on at the sides of the road. |

| Volvo 7 or 9 series. Here in the UK we are not allowed to drive on the pavements though. The pedestrians tend not to like it. Some small cars I've owned or my Dad has owned (And I've driven) which have been great offroad cars with soft suspension are the early Renault 5's and the 954cc version of th... |

| I didn't get to go in it, but it was a car that after getting out of it, it would continue bouncing. I had a diesel Citroen Xantia once which had hydraulic suspension. I quite liked the ride some of the larger Volvos had because they were soft but would handle well too, especially the 9 series. The ... |

| My brother had a Cadallac Fleetwood for a couple of years. 7,500cc engine. When they drove it up here, It only just fit round the corners. Was scraping the sides of the hedges on the outsides and the inside of the corners. Manynof our roads it would not be able to go on though. Too wide. |
