| You know, I would dearly love to wake up in 1965... I come from 1972 anyway so it'd just be like growing up. I think, if I managed to develop a temporal transporter, I'd actually head back to 1931 and live through all the momentous events of the late 20th. The internet is a handy tool, and a Godsend... |

| Kinda depends on the situation, I've worked quite hard to learn & apply the correct response to a situation. The most important thing I've found is to stop & look, then look again & THEN react rather than snapping to a conclusion because things aren't always as they first appear to an As... |

| We know weird stuff goes on that we can't explain, I lean towards the theory that things that go bump in the night/UFOs et all are nothing more than an imperfection in the time stream... This is not mere speculation either, I am currently refurbishing a house down on the very south coast of the UK t... |

| Interesting, I would probably lean towards #1 personally, but Mrs Jones disagrees... Apparently I'm a total flirt but don't realise, I just see it as being friendly. Interesting the difference between perception between two Aspies! |

| I guess they can, I was diagnosed in 2010 and currently in year 26 of my chosen career... Its tough, long hours, stressful & dangerous as well as being shift work so I have to contend with depression, which has no pattern, but I love what I do and I'm well respected within my company... |

| Not so much an actual object, but when I'm out travelling I'll always bring something familiar from home... Its usually a particular clock and maybe a writing pad for if I get time to let my graphomania out! |

| Hmm... Interesting one... I did all the tests some years ago just for sh1ts & giggles after an ad appeared in the press touting for MENSA members, it kinda scared me at the time when they gave the result & I never followed it up despite their badgering. I guess all an official score does is ... |
