| Oh god the snoring thing is impossible. You'd be better of looking into snoring cures than trying to get used to it. Perhaps a soundproof blanket (very expensive) over your bedroom doorand maybe some double glazing would help with other noises. Otherwise it's earplugs, you can get quite advanced one... |

| It's strategic position. Look on a map, it's surrounded by Americas supposed enemies and has a nice big coastline. It's right smack bang in the middle of what is known as The Old World, look at a map and you'll see Europe, The Mediteranian, Africa, the Caucuses (leading to Russia), the Middle East (... |

| Being difficalt to be around is an aspie trait, even if it's not in the diagnostic manual. Not really, it's more a concequence of the traits rather than a trait itself. The fact is if we can (most of us at least) put the effort in to compensate for those traits then we'd be much less annoying. For ... |

| Maybe they just didn't want to give in. When talking with a friend and their opinion differs greatly from yours then it's often best just to drop the subject if you want to be friends with them. Arguments aren't always about the facts being argued over he probably was only arguing because you contra... |

| I suppose it depends what you mean by 'cured". Exactly, I've seen a 'cure' advertised that is basically just self awareness and social and interpersonal skills training which isn't very sinister at all. It's literally impossible to retroactively not have autism so the arguments about 'curing' peopl... |

| A good way to do this for anyone thinking it's hard is to wear one of those rubber bracelets and every time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought move the bracelet to the other wrist.
