| I tend to define it as using a disguise in order to cope among people, hiding or distorting your real self, which for an Aspie that would mostly involve pretending to be neurotypical to some extent, though I've seen a lot of other definitions that are much broader than that. I rather wish those def... |

| OK I think i do something similar, I don't complain as much as I would otherwise like Joe and do slip into a detached emotionless persona rather than do something I regret later. M.G. you seem to have useful functioning masks instead of just 'getting by' Yes, but what I didn't realize because I hav... |

| No, for example if you went to the Random Discussion forum or PPR forum etc it would show the names of the people currently browsing those forums. I thought it is all the same forum but divided into sections? I think some of the forum software allows figures to be seen but I assume the more things ... |

| Around 15 years ago I happened to have someone where I worked call in to where I live to pick something up or drop something off. I don't remember why, but the next time we met in the work staff room he said that I am a totally different person in work to who I am at home. Now this really puzzled me... |

| Why is it that some employers don’t ever reply back after a job interview to tell you if you have got the job or not? I can answer that. In the area that I live in Wales, UK, they often have anything from 3000 to 15000 applicants per position if it is a well paid full time job due to the shortages ... |

| The problem is that every time there is a lunar eclipse the moon goes dark so I don't get to see it. I know what you mean. I go outside look up and say "where is it?!". I think the whole thing is just a hoax to get us to look up so that facial recognition satellites can track us us. :evil... |

| I'm not sure if I understand the question. Could you explain it further? I think I probably don't understand this "squeeky voice treatment". Is when you were young some adult women who were usually mothers of other kids you knew would bend down and put their faces next to yours and put on... |

| On internet forums an extra account someone has is called a sockpuppet. In other words if Mountain Goat was also posting as Matrix Glitch, I would be MG's sockpuppet. Ahh... But how do you know I don't have other accounts in my name? I am on a few different sites as MG as well as this one. :D That'... |
