| I feel Brits are actually very chatty. I would agree with what was said above. But they are, usually, more careful in what they have to say. They care more about offending people, on average, than an American. One time, at Victoria Station, this woman just got out of a public toilet. I had to "... |

| Yes, generally, although it depends what country you're from. 1. Northern Ireland, people talk to you in places where they're bored such as waiting rooms, hospitals etc. Often on Public Transport, in Class. 2. Southern England, strangers are cold and distant. Strangers will go out of their way to av... |

Mostly. Depends on your coordination and ability to focus on one thing consistently.
Took me a fair time to get my test (9 months) so be aware of cost. |

| I would take the RDOS Aspie Quiz and see what comes out of that, it's usually a fairly good indicator of where you lie (if true). |

| Some of us are master actors. We've studied facial expressions, body language and tone of voice, and we're able to select what is appropriate in most moments. The problem comes when we face a social situation that is new for us. I come of completely normal. But I don't have experience with intimate... |

| 30/36, I don't have problems interpreting basic facial expressions. It's more subtle, in depth expressions that give me issues. |

It's just the fact that I don't have anyone to connect with or go out for a meal with when I come back here that gets me down. I get depressed being couped up in my home all winter... |
