If a person says hello to you how do you tell whether they are literly only expecting you to say hello then walk on, or say a bit about how you're doing and ask them the same then walk on, or stop and chat altogether? I usually just say hello then walk on unless im sitting/standing somewhere and the... |

How typical is it to take ages to change routine, even if you want to? I dont consider myself to have a fixed routine that I feel I need to stick to or anything but yet theres certain things I keep going back to that id like to change, but before I got stuck nto those ways it was something else. May... |

Do the effects of sensory overload vary depending on what condition a person has? Eg, this article on chronic fatigue syndrome mentions unexplained tiredness, confusion or pain ( http://www.cfidsselfhelp.org/library/sensory-overload-sources-and-strategies ) but the way Ive read some autistic/asperge... |

What difference does it make to you personally to socialise with someone one on one instead of socialising in a group? Anyone else get lost in groups but carry conversation a bit better one on one and when theres less going on? |

Hes now mad at me because I dont understand his vague and ever-changing excuses for something important that goes back a few years. None of it adds up, his excuses have changed countless times, he goes back and forth between saying 'it happened 'x' way' when I know it didnt and then saying he doesn... |

I have said I dont think I have social anxiety or social phobia because I dont feel nervous/anxious or fearful in social situations unless people happen to point out to me that Ive misinterpreted whats considered as that and that hasnt happened yet. I have one thing to ask though. If I have had a st... |

A while back I asked a teacher friend for her opinion on whether I may have something undiagnosed that may be the reason for the fact I didnt do very well at school, have never kept a job etc(not going in to everything here)...
