| I remember when I was at chess camp (this was over a decade ago), I was sent to my room because I couldn't stop laughing. |

| I also would hold a hand mirror at waist height above my feet, look down into it, and pretend I was walking on the ceiling. Does that count as imagination? :lol: Haha, dunno. I guess the mirror would make it look that way, so it would be an illusion. Think that might've made me queasy if I did that. |

| I am extremely sensitive to motion sickness. An hour in a car is probably the most I can manage before literally feeling like I am dying. I once got on a fishing boat in the sea, and my god it was just a minute till I was ready to jump ship and drown myself. I was on a fishing boat or a sail boat o... |

| "Can I help you?" (at a store) Every time I get asked this when I'm just looking around I just reply with "No, I'm beyond help". That provides me with endless amusement because they don't have a stock reply for it so they just slowly walk away with a really confused look on their face. I like your ... |

| Maybe the fact that you were focusing on his head, made you less focused on the movements of the bus, which could make you dizzy. At least I know that I can get nauseous by looking at my phone while in a moving car. Also, sometimes when you focus too hard on something, it can get a bit distorted. I ... |

| I haven't seen it, so I wouldn't know, but I am terribly sensitive to motion. I can get queasy just knowing something is spinning next to me, without even looking at it. First I thought you meant no one else had that reaction on this website, but you probably meant the website you found it on, 'caus... |

| When someone bought me a barbie, even if I had asked for it, I had no idea what to do with it...so I would take it's clothing off, cut all of it's hair off, chew on it for a while (the legs and arms, when I was a kid I chewed on everything.) and then when I couldn't think of anything else to do wit... |

| That's ridiculous. Having AS doesn't mean you don't have a desire to socialize, it just makes it difficult, which in turn can lead to isolation. |

There are some sounds that infuriates me. - The sound(s) of an ad that just pops up on the internet and starts playing. - Menu music (30 seconds clippings of a song that keeps repeating until ... |

| You have to click the picture button in the post and then copy the picture link, and paste it in the windows that comes when you click the picture button. However, you have to post five posts and be a member for five days before you can post a link, if I remember correctly. |

I also crack my knuckles, clap my hands sometimes when I get exited (though I don't think I do this often) and pick at my skin. In school I tilted my chair a lot, and tapped my nai... |

| I feel that some of the questions have no right answers, in the way that it doesn't really have any nuances. It differs between the statement being correct or not and at which time it was correct. It doesn't, however, give you the ability to state to which degree it's correct. |
