| Ok...I see it is time to pull out the big guns here.....People...you can't tell me that this song simply doesn't make you float in body and mind. Listen in the dark and let your mind go free. A classic from Pink Floyd. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo&feature=related[/youtube... |

| I run a 2007 Macbook on OS X 10.4.11. About a month ago my parents changed the wi-fi box. This particular box will give me access for about less than an hour, then starts to turn my access on and off every second until shutting it off automatically. If I leave the wi-fi on when I shut the laptop dow... |

Rode a friendly bactrian camel named Oscar at a festival, something I always wanted to try when I was younger.

| I don't have Emetophobia, but my sister's had it all her life. What doesn't help is how I usually got carsick when I was younger. Nowadays she refuses to watch movies b/c she fears there might be a scene w/ vomiting in it. Even the slightest burp or the mere mention of the word and its synonyms can ... |

| An organization is not going to change if someone doesn't do something to change it. Maybe if Alex works with them as a bridge to the voice of YOU then they may get a new perspective and understanding that may someday change their direction. Cut him a break, he's doing good work. I'm not a fan of t... |

| When you're immersed in a hobby, do you feel like it's intruding and invasive on other people? In your particular hobby, I would say be sure to never show faces or license plates or house numbers and so on ... just the vehicles. I wrote that in my post as one of my policies, but I apparently delete... |

| OP, listen to me very carefully - don't feel bad if your hobbies intrude on other (NT) people, they don't give a rats ass if they intrude on you. Why care for them when they don't care for you? Aspies need to grow some balls. You should know that I'm not the only one; it's everyone else who share t... |

| I was diagnosed at 10 in '99. My parents never told me, and I didn't find out until I came across school health papers six years later. When I found out I was shattered; I had never heard of it, didn't know what it was, and became frightened. That feeling lasted for about 10 seconds. By then it had ... |

| In middle school I tried making friends with the nerd clique since they had some of the same interests I did. I was more of an outsider looking in, I remember a couple didn't want me around. I never really recognized many as friends at all, but if there were they were always rough and somewhat abusi... |
