| Around noon, but I won't get anything productive done until at least 2pm. This has earned me the unfair reputation of 'lazy' among my flatmates, who don't seem to realise that I don't go to bed until 5 or 6am, long after them. I find regular working hours to be highly inconvenient. Stupid 9am-5pm sc... |

| I'm learning, will hopefully take my test in the next few weeks. Technically I'm pretty good...as long as there's no one else around. Where I fall down is my observation and responding to situations. I can't make on-the-fly decisions about my speed and direction based on other traffic. I know all th... |

| Me too :lol: People often ask the questions like What are you listening? or How it goes? (it means How do you do? ). I know what does it mean, but some years ago I didn't and now I like to have some fun, so I reply Last album of Depeche Mode! or Nowhere, I stay at home . People say that Autism is d... |

No one remembers what my first word was, or when I said it. :S Dad thinks it was late, but that's as specific as it gets.
My first sentence - "Don't rough it, live life in Comfort"! It was a fabric softener commercial from the early 90's. |

| I also hated PE, because it was usually games. Games require assimilating too much information - the position of the ball, the position of the other players, your own position in relation to both of the above and to the goal/net, remembering the rules of the game, remembering strategies... I couldn'... |

| Wow, so much Maths hate. 8O What did numbers ever do to you? Music was my most hated. I never learnt to play an instrument. So lessons on key signatures and time signatures and chord progressions meant nothing to me; they're useless without some kind of practical knowledge to hang them on. I mean, w... |

Asperger's by itself doesn't prevent one from being a competent driver. To be honest, it had never occurred to m... |
