| I'm a 1/4 English, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Scottish and 1/4 Welsh and I've got to say I've got the Irish friendliness & temper (but not the gift of the gab) the English reserve and control (and humour) and the Welsh stoicism and loudness. The one thing I could never master is the Scottish temper, I can't... |

| Thank you for this subject. It is fresh and relevent. I whole heartedly agree with your statement about the pretending being too high of a price. You are exactly right about the risk of being 'discovered' and then losing more than you hoped to have gained. I have extremely strong feelings about bei... |

| I'd go one of two ways either say I'm off down the pub for a drink, fancy one? If she says no then say well I've got my mobile if you need me or act completely normal. From experience when a girls says nothing in a very clipped/short manner what ever you say/do is wrong so probably doesn't matter, s... |

| Yeap. Severe asthmatic, allergic to a lot of stuff, including oak pollen (which is microscopic and it sucks when you live in an area COVERED in different variations of oak trees). Yeah I get sick a lot, especially if they are respiratory illnesses. :( I know that one, as a sufferer myself you have ... |

| I've got to say when living in Nottingham, London and to a certain extent Swansea I tended to get sick more often than people around me and simple things like flu hit me hard whilst some of the more serious things (that should have required treatment/hospital) I've managed to recover quickly. I alwa... |

| It's difficult to pull one thing out that would explain it all, but what at once impressed and dismayed me at once was the idea that the "extreme NT" view of the world consists not of beliefs based on logic but on social consensus, which become more or less "true" depending on the confidence with w... |

| It's normal, I've seen NT men break down crying when there pet died. I was the same though when my cat died, I couldn't work for a week. I do get more attached to animals than people but that's probably because animals love me. I think some personality types become more attached to animals than othe... |

I had a very attractive girl invite me up to her flat for coffee.
My honest reply 'I don't like coffee, too bitter' she looked puzzled, then she slapped me. Wasn't till later I worked out why. |

| I find some small routine to latch onto and build on it slowly (for instance, a nearby store or park I'll walk to by the same route each day, repeat an activity I understand, notice a person I recognize - just some little thing I understand to begin building a new mental map around). I'll try to ca... |

| A lap dancing club is about as sexual as a dry turkey sandwich, something I never expected to say about a place 1/2 full of naked women. The women there are clearly out to take the guys for tips and its enforced non contact (usually big bouncers). It's more of an all lads together event (got beer an... |

Aspie porn - a hot naked woman/guy sitting on the bonnet of a sports car being told to get off, then a montage of engines. Replace car with spe... |
