| Thanks for the suggestions. Those sound like fun things to do. I am not sure if I am brave enough to try alligator, hehe. I wouldn't rule out heading up to Lafayette during a weekend. |

| This summer, I have an internship at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. I am from Massachusetts, so it is quite a distance. The internship is going to be a lot of fun and being away from home for 10 weeks will be a good way to break out of my comfort zone. I can imagine that I am going to want to ... |

| Right now, I am a senior in high school. I only have just over 2 months left of school. I am looking forward to college, but lately I have been wondering if I am going to miss the high school era of my life. Do Aspies generally have a better experience in high school or college? Thank you in advance. |

Well, I copied and pasted it. Sorry, I didn't fix the format. On the document, it is divided neatly into paragraphs though. Are there any other impressions from the essay? |

Then I will read through the questions and think what the correct answers are to myself. So if the question is "What is the BIOS?",... |

So I am really lucky to have that, and I feel like I am learning valuable skills. Unfortunately, this ... |

| Interestingly enough, I had a heart murmur as a baby. I was born with a hernia. My appendix also had to be taken out as a baby. Luckily I don't have those problems today. Still, I am not sure if there is a connection with Autism. |

A couple of weeks ago, I was having a driving lesson and I started talking to my driving instructor (loud)... he jumped! Also, when I am talking to someone privately, I notice that they wil... |
