| Intelligence tests, by definition, are very coarse-grained measures designed to test an individual's aptitude. Being severely impaired in one area is easily enough to drag down your score into the "mentally deficient" region. Genetics are important, but the correlation between heredity and... |

| I know how this may sound ridiculous to everyone but last episode (eleven) caused me a very odd sensation. I felt like it might have altered my consciousness! I'm not joking. I watched to this episode three times in a row, first time I ever did this, and the sensation lasted until I fell asleep. Am... |

| The thing is, I never really had much interest in trying to socialize. The topics that others my own age were interested in were never really interesting to me so I mostly just kept to myself anyway. When I did socialize it was usually with adults, often elderly adults actually. Everyone I spoke to... |

| I'm in the same boat right now. I think I am autistic, surely I must be, but I really have no idea other than that my parents say I'm "on the spectrum". I've always had sensory issues: my parents have stories of terrible tantrums as a child every time they tried to cloth me, especially wi... |

| Blue Velvet What's your verdict? It wasn't my most favorite film from David Lynch, but still very good. It was a very visually appealing film, but the sound design wasn't as prominent as a lot of Lynch's other stuff. Worth a watch, for sure. Eraserhead and Mullholland Dr. are still my favorites. An... |

| Nightclubs are not my scene. The music normally played there is stuff that I don't like and grates on my nerves. The dancing is really awkward and claustrophobic. Occasionally, someone will try to chat me up and as soon as I respond to them, it's like an alarm goes off that tells them I'm not on the... |

| To your original question, I'm diagnosed with ASD and I think my reaction to alcohol is relatively normal. I'm a rather lanky guy, and I start to feel a buzz around my third or fourth drink. Over a night of drinking, ten drinks is fairly normal. A curious thing I've noticed is that I only ever get d... |

| You may try making your profile picture one of you having fun doing something you enjoy. For example, mine is of me at an Amon Amarth concert flanked by two people in viking costume. Full disclosure: this hasn't been successful in securing a girlfriend, but I think you're more likely to get response... |
