| I wouldn't say I'm slow, more so I just spend more time thinking about my responses to people in order to cover all grounds. If it's factual data I can bring it up right away, but anything of an opinion I have to think about it first to make sure I articulate it in the right way. For physical reacti... |

| I've been noticing something about myself. Whenever I think, or sometimes when I'm not really thinking, I tend to place my palm flat on my nose and rub it. I've been wondering is this an "AS quirk?" I always wonder how much of that is trained. Ie do people rub their chins when in deep thought becau... |

| Instead of plain old notepad I'd use an editor with syntax highlighting, makes looking at the html/css much nicer. A good one is Notepad++ and its free to download. I wouldn't worry too much about things like php/ruby and MySql until you get html/css down followed by javascript. You can make really ... |

| Hmm I never new it was common on stairs, I mostly do it on stairs. I wonder if it's because when climbing up a hill using just your toes to find a good footing is safer then your whole foot as if you slip its easier to find a spot for toes then your whole foot. |

| I have a similar problem and I realized it was because I generally only talk to people if I think I can help them with something. So I never talk about things I don't know a lot about. That I guess makes me come off as a know it all. |

| I think the reason I like sci-fi is because there is no boundaries so you don't know what to expect. Always something new to see. Also a lot of sci-fi characters seem more like me in that they aren't showing much emotion and have rational discussions. |

It consisted of a giant bee going through the apartment I lived in at the time and stinging my family members which caused them to sort of shrival up like a prune as if all the flu... |
