| I’ve been going to piano lessons for a bit over a year and a half. I have definitely improved now as compared to before when a I use to only play by ear, but I have noticed that when it comes to coordinating my hands, I’m still quite behind. I know that many people with Aspergers, myself included, h... |

| I know exactly what you mean. I don’t think I’m acting abnormally or inappropriately at all, but somehow I still manage to give off some sort of “offish” vibe that weirds out some people who don’t know me well. I think it’s down to small mannerisms that I haven’t well polished enough to “pass normal... |

| I like going out to run around my neighbourhood at 6 am when it’s still dark and the streets are still empty. I don’t know how your joints respond to running, but if you are comfortably capable of it, maybe give it a try? I personally like listening to music while I work out, but since you want to h... |

| I don’t really like fighting games (mostly because I’m rubbish at them), but SBU is pretty good. I haven’t played much and get defeated most of the time, but it’s captivating enough to make me want to play it more. |

| I'm not certain that it's a gender thing, but in my experience from and from my observations, jocks tend to overwhelmingly bully guys more. My theatre class is full of jocks. A few are decent people, but most are utter asses. Back when I took theatre in middle school, the class was also full of jock... |

I was technically raised in a non practicing Catholic household but my parents were quite interested in Buddhism and we practiced that more instead. What I like about Buddhism is that there is no god or worshipping involved and ... |

| Depends on the class. 90% of the time I'm the first one to turn in history quizzes to the point that I sometimes feel self conscious about taking too little time on them. I take a bit longer on maths tests because I always make sure to check my work as much as I can, but I'm generally not the last. ... |
