| I hate blatant grammatical errors. They grade on me and get on my last nerve. I always correct people but I have learned to do it in my mind. At times I have told people but I have been told that that is rude but I can't just let the errors go so I have to correct them silently in my mind. I can't r... |

| i am having the same problem from a recent episode of bullying I went through. It was online but the people on the site in question are quite frankly disgusting in the way they treat people who have done them no harm. It is haunting me at the moment. What they have done. I can't get it off my mind.... |

| people dont treat u weird because you have Aspergers. They treat you weird because either you're misrepresenting yourself in a negative way or they're just bullies. The second option is the less common one because most people aren't mean to people who aren't mean to them back. You must be doing som... |

| If I sit naked on the couch I always use a towel. I don't want secretions of any kind on the furniture. This is probably more of a concern for women because we tend to secrete more. Also if you pass gas sometimes it can be a little more than just gas. So I like the idea of having towels around. |
