You know, maybe it's not that stupid after all. I have heard that there is a book out by an author named Brad Blanton called "Radical Honesty" that essentially advocates people being like this in their everyday lives. You can think of it as taking the kind of bluntness associated with autism and exhibiting it completely freely and in as extreme a way as possible. I actually saw a copy of it in a bookstore last night, but since I was there for an open mic night I didn't have a chance to read it. I definitely will take a look sometime.

Y-y-y-yes, me too. I'll be the one on the floor so I won't get noticed. I won't mind. I'll have a book and a small reading light. :)

it sounds ok but i'd stay away from the negatives, if they start to build up on one person it could be a bit harmfull
