| Is there something that someone has figured out to say to an NT or (mostly nt) that would help them help me? If someone says something like "I don't want to see you do that" for example, my response is automatically going to be "Then don't look". Very specific. And then maybe a few hours or days lat... |

| Yea. I agree with Sola I'll "listen" to mainstream music, as long as it has a certain rhythm and such and I need to be able to daydream while listening to it...unless you're not allowed to daydream while "listening" to music...I'm not sure what exactly the criteria would be to constitute listening..... |
